 RH>> Not surprising. I do remember a few green Christmas days tho.
 RH>> One year (1982) we got up to Steve's folks after dark, promising
 RH>> Rachel she could play in the snow the next morning. Turned warm
 RH>> and rainy overnight, melting all the snow. Didn't even see any
 RH>> in the Catskills that trip.
 NB>> We've had years like that... and this year's could have been the
 NB>> same... The inflection on my comment was that it was barely a
 NB>> white Christmas, just enough to still call it so... ;)  Didn't
 NB>> last much past Christmas, either...

 RH> Better that you don't have to shovel it out tho. We had a few
 RH> Christmas days in AZ that started white but turned green within
 RH> a few hours. 

A few inches isn't too bad to shovel out.... and things look so much
prettier...  :)

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

 RH> So far, so good but not done anything too strenuous. Going to use the
 RH> bread machine to make a loaf tomorrow, only because we don't have
 RH> enough flour to do two loaves in the KA. Quilt retreat the latter part
 RH> of the week so I want to do the bread before we run out. (G)

Makes sense... the bread machine won't put the strain on you, either...
Hope you enjoy the quilt retreat, too... :)

 
 NB>>>> Indeed...  :)   Nothing like home-baked bread.... :)
 RH>>> German bakeries did a decent job; we bought bread from them
 RH>>> quite 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.
 NB>> There is that..   :)

 RH> Done almost before you finish asking for it to be sliced. (G)

ALmost.   :)  Of course the machine slices it all at once, not one slice
at a time...  :)
