Hi Vicki,
 GP> Hi--glad things are going good.   Since I have no idea how the land
 GP> burnt and who burnt it I can't do anything about it.  Two of my
Bummer, especially if you've put a lot of work into developing the land.
 GP> neighbors are raising lots of herbs in their large greenhouses so I'll
 GP> buy starts off of them come spring.  I just hope my 3 year old
 GP> strawberry patch makes it----it grew famtastic strawberries in this
As long as we've been here, I should have put in some herb patches or
strawberries.  Never thought I'd live over 3 years in any place in the
last 22 years.
 GP> I love coloured cotton and have grown the bronw and the green---in two
 GP> different years as you can't grow them at the same time or they will
 GP> cros pollinate.
It sounds interesting; I'm using just about all natural fibers for my
clothes these days.  I don't have the time or space to weave my own yard
goods but I'd try the natural color cottons if I did.
 GP> I enjoy me new job--have been there 2 months now.  Son Bill graduated
 GP> from college and joined the Army--we were't too pleased about that but
 GP> it guarantees him a job, I guess.
Yes, the Army has been our paycheck for 15 years now.  Don't like what
has happened to some of the benefits but...........at least I'm still in
the military medical system. It's a help; I got given some of the newer
antibiotics the other day that I would have had to pay an arm and leg
for otherwise.  Plus, the asthma meds I use up each month.
I'm getting ideas for entering the Sewing Challenge from Nancy's
Notions; been thinking about a jacket using up some of the fancy
remnents I've built up since we've been here.
Catch you later,
Ruth
