   Hi Ruth,   
      
   RH> I saw Sean's post, we'll miss him. We met in person in the late 90s when   
   RH> we met in IL on our way up to NY to pass along some Commodore 64 stuff we   
   RH> were no longer using. Met at a Cracker Barrel, first time we'd been to one   
   RH> of them. Then we met again at several of the picnics in the early 2000's.   
      
   I'll miss Dave too.  I liked his sense of humor and intentional typos.   
      
   Speaking of sewing, yesterday i mended pajamas and sandals. The pajamas   
   had a draw string through a.. hem?  The dryer had ripped a gap open in   
   the hem about half way in the middle, and and pulled the drawstring   
   part way out through that gap.  I used a safety pin to pull the string   
   back through the hem, and then hand stitched the gap.   
      
   The sandals were Keen brand.  The outside of the heel has a triangular   
   shaped leather piece sewed to three thick nylon straps in different   
   directions, plus a soft inside liner.  It looked to me like the   
   connection between the nylon strap and the leather was flimsy to begin   
   with, and it simply came apart. I used the biggest needle i had.  I cut   
   a denim patch and put it against the inside liner. I stitched through   
   the leather, the nylon strap, and the denim patch, and now it seems   
   thoroughly re-connected.   
      
   Here's a classic Pumpkin pie recipe.  I'd probably use less sugar and   
   cinnamon and more ginger if it were me.  Plus a pinch of clove powder.
