-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 01-17-17  15:21 <=-

 NB>>> gone by Monday.... we've had dustings since, but there's an
 NB>>> advisory for lake effect snow starting probably tonight into
 NB>>> tomorrow....
 RH>> We had a white Christmas in Utah. (G)
 NB>> Ours was white enough... ;)

 RH> Not surprising. I do remember a few green Christmas days tho. One year
 RH> (1982) we got up to Steve's folks after dark, promising Rachel she
 RH> could play in the snow the next morning. Turned warm and rainy
 RH> overnight, melting all the snow. Didn't even see any in the Catskills
 RH> that trip. 

We've had years like that... and this year's could have been the same...
The inflection on my comment was that it was barely a white Christmas,
just enough to still call it so... ;)  Didn't last much past Christmas,
either... 

 RH>>> Eventually, but it seems like I've been out of commission much
 RH>>> longer than I actually have.
 NB>>> One gets impatient with the healing... and it's hard to keep
 NB>>> perspective...
 RH>> I know, but I'll probably be putting the arm to the kneading/dough
 RH>> shaping test in a couple of weeks or so.
 NB>> Just be careful...  :)

 RH> I will; we bought bread at the farmer's market last Saturday. But,
 RH> I've been cutting up meat and veggies (beef stew tonight) for various
 RH> supper meals.

And the arm's been ok with the chopping....?
 
 RH>>> taste good tho, better than a lot of what we've gotten in the
 RH>>> stores.
 NB>>> Indeed...  :)   Nothing like home-baked bread.... :)
 RH>> German bakeries did a decent job; we bought bread from them quite
 RH>> often. I never bought any at the supermarket in Berlin.
 NB>> True, fresh-baked bakery bread can come close...  ;)

 RH> And they can slice it for you, faster than you can slice it yourself.

There is that..   :)
