Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> same... The inflection on my comment was that it was barely a
 NB>  NB>> white Christmas, just enough to still call it so... ;)  Didn't
 NB>  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.

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

Agreed, I'd rather look at an inch or snow that will soon disappear than
many inches that need shovelling.

 NB>  RH>> for various supper meals.
 NB>  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)

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

I did, and got a fair amount accomplished, tho, as always, not as much
as I wanted to. (G) Got to have a piece of a yummy home made cheesecake
that the husband of one of the other ladies made. I went out for lunch
with the group one day but brought my own otherwise & Steve brought me
supper a couple of times. The arm held up for several sessions of using
the rotary cutter--usually spaced those between times of sewing so as
not to put too much of a strain on it.

 NB>  RH>> And they can slice it for you, faster than you can slice it
 NB> yourself.  NB>> There is that..   :)

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

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

Definately faster, but not worth investing in one for home use. We have
a bread slicing guide; it does a credible job of making sure the slices
are uniform but we still have to do the work of slicing it.
