 RH>> We're in the 60s for a few days, supposed to hit 70 Friday and
 RH>> Saturday, then back down to 50 on Sunday. Roller coaster weather!
 NB>> Roller coaster weather here, too....  yesterday it was in the low 70s,
 NB>> today it got into the 60s and then started dropping this afternoon...
 NB>> tonight and thru Tuesday, they are talking 30s and snow... lake
 NB>> effect...  Next week, back into the 40s and rain....

 RH> It's 39.5 right now (8:20 pm) but clear. Not getting all the white
 RH> stuff we saw on the news that the northeast is getting.

We got a lot more snow than I was thinking we'd get... but it's not
expected to stick around all that long anyway....  we shall see...
 
 RH>>> to vote (about 2:30), the jacket was just comfortable enough but
 RH>>> I changed out for a lined windbreaker about 3 hours later when
 RH>>> we went out for supper.
 NB>>> The sweater jacket is my fall jacket... definitely not ready to
 NB>>> use the heavier winter jacket....
 RH>> We wore winter jackets last Saturday at an outdoor wedding, Sunday
 RH>> to church. After church it had warmed up enough that a mid weight
 RH>> one would have sufficed.
 NB>> I'll probably still just wear the sweater jacket... but if there's
 NB>> snow on the ground, I guess the winter boots will get some use
 NB>> tomorrow... maybe Monday as well....

 RH> I use winter boots only a few times a year--just enough that it is
 RH> good to have a pair on hand. Steve generally wears his old Army
 RH> boots--and probably will, until they wear out.

With me it's either sandals (a/o baarefoot) or snowboots... haven't
anything (for now) in between....  So, I wore the sandals Sunday
morning, but gave in and wore the boots Sunday night... ended up not
going out yesterday or today, but would have had to wear the boots for
both, and probably will have to tomorrow when I go out....
 
 RH>> He said something about doing laundry--I told him I'd been doing
 RH>> it for several weeks. I'm still not kneading bread; I want to wait
 RH>> a few more weeks on that.
 NB>> Probably a good idea...  :)
 RH> I don't want to stress it with the kneading action too much. Right
 RH> now, the KA does most of the kneading but when I punch it down/shape
 RH> it, I give it a good kneading again.
 
So, for now, Steve's still doing any baking.... and, yes, the kneading
could indeed put stress on the shoulder.... better to wait a while
longer.... ;)

 RH>>> Only one of 2 hand made items at the shower.
 NB>>> Made with lots of love... :)
 RH>> Very much so; our preaching pastor's wife does a plaque with the
 RH>> baby's name on it as her gift so we know there will usually be 2
 RH>> hand made gifts.
 NB>> And I'm sure that the moms being honored look forward to them as
 NB>> well....  ;)

 RH> I've not heard anybody not liking them. (G) I sew on a "hand made
 RH> by..." label on as a finishing touch.

Signing your work, so to speak... :)
