Hi Ruth!
-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Wendy Buchanan <=-
 RH> Loved it!  Showed it to another computer user the other day & other
 RH> guy's reaction was "Gee, my wife never made anything geeky like that
 RH> for me."
Hahaha!  I think that fabric is sooo neat!  Maybe I could do a 
pc cover for Tom with it.  Hmmmmm...his birthday's in March!
 RH> Sounds like your puppy really enjoyed the toy ball.  Maybe you should
 RH> have done it with kevelar (used in body armor, military helmets, etc);
 RH> I understand it is sewable but just about indestructable.
 
Hahaha, that might have helped it last a few more minutes.
Puppy teeth are sure sharp!
 
 RH> Steve had to get bifocals with the last check; he couldn't get used to
 RH> the civilian issue ones so now he has glasses for closeup, distance,
 RH> etc plus military issue bifocals.
 
Oh dear!  Poor man will be so confused, he won't know which pair
to put on!
 
 RH> We had a nice, fairly quiet time.  Had about an inch or so of snow
 RH> Christmas eve to give us a white Christmas.  Went to Phoenix on the
 RH> 25th, home the 26th so things were low key.  Deborah didn't want to
 RH> come home from OKC; she had a great time!  Mike got me a Precious
 RH> Moments "Sew in love" mini plate.  Picked Deborah up in Phoenix on the
 RH> 30th and (finally) got to meet Nancy Brassea and Donna Ransdell. 
Neat!  It sounds like you had a great one.  Those quiet ones
are the best.  I don't blame Deborah!  hehe, when your sweetie
is there and you're here...it's not much fun.  Tom and I did it
for months but Ma Bell was the real beneficiary!
Isn't it great to meet echo friends?  I've had such fun when I
got to meet some of mine.
 RH> Rachel had a good Christmas; now she's getting ready to move in about a
 RH> month and get the car fixed; someone ran into them last week.
 
I hope they are OK.  A car you can replace; a body you can't!
 
 RH> Cute!  We didn't put any tomatoes in last summer & may not this one
 RH> but I sure miss having home grown ones.  The stores seem to charge too
 RH> much for tasteless blobs of red they call tomatoes.
Tom and Pat feel the same way.  I like to grow tomatoes in some
containers on the patio so I don't have a big patch to weed, and
the slugs can't get into those tall containers so easily.  We have
big problems with them eating our crop!
 
 RH> I'm going to do quilt tops.  Have a Double Wedding Ring set to sew up,
 RH> then, enough scraps to do several scrappy tops.  Will probably do a
 RH> Victorian crazy top with all my "fancy" stuff-satin, velours, taffetas,
It sounds like you will have plenty to do.  I like those crazy 
quilts done with the fancies.  They are so pretty!   Of course
one wouldn't last a day here with Velvet and her sharp teeth,
and all those toenails!    
We aren't fancy folks.  Our furniture is almost dead, and we need
new carpeting.  We LIVE in our living room; it isn't pretty, what
we do to a room.  But that's the way we are.
LadyBear Hugs,
Wendy
