   Hi Nancy,   
      
   >> I think they are upstairs in a closet, maybe I'll check today... Now   
   >> I'm curious :)   
      
   > And did you find them...? ;)   
      
   I did not, it was too crazy this week as it turned out.. you know, life isn't   
   fair, and if there is one thing I learned a very long time ago, it is you have   
   to roll with the punches... Ron's aunt died right before Christmas so we were   
   tied up dealing with that. She had prepaid her final resting, etc. so that   
   was taken care of but you know it involved a million phone calls, and more,   
   etc. etc. You know I was just way too busy if I couldn't even take the time   
   to go up the stairway and look for them ... :)   
      
   She was a great lady and is already missed by all of us.   
      
   >> had real fun making jeans for the kids, and for me. I put embroidered   
   >> things on their jeans and mine    
      
   > Oh, that would be fun... Hopefully they enjoyed having the embroidery as   
   > much as you enjoyed doing it...    
      
   Oh yes, they loved it.. :)   
      
   >>>>> maybe) and my pulse clocking in at about 70 do it.. got me... :)   
   >>>> Apparently you've also got a very efficient metabolism... mine tends to   
   >>>> shut down all too easily... :)   
   >>> Understand, one of my sisters has a metabolism similar to yours. It   
   >>> can be hard for her as well, so I always sewed dresses for her.   
   >> Is that the one you made the bridesmaid dress for....?   
      
   >> Yes, it was. I remember seeing her face when the bridesmaid's shop   
   >> clerk told her it was impossible to get a dress for her in her size..   
   >> she was crushed. I told her 'don't worry about it, I'll take care of   
   >> it'. Bridesmaid's dresses are generally pretty simple in design. :) I   
   >> knew I could find matching fabics so I wasn't worried.   
      
   > Nowadays it might be easier to get nice plus-size dresses, but I know at   
   > one time it just wasn't possible...   
      
   That's true.. and for a bridesmaid's dress, unless you are dealing with a   
   large shop, I'm not sure if any of them would have had one to fit her.   
      
   >> I did grow regular eggplant in my garden outside one year but this is   
   >> the first time I saw eggplant from Aerogarden, so I was really happy   
   >> about that :)   
      
   > You'll have to let us know how they grow and end up tasting...   
      
   I planted them today so now I can be impatient but THANKFULLY I will only have   
   to wait 12 weeks from now to see how they taste.. that is "amazing" to me    
      
   >>> Now I'm thinking about Christmas but I think I'm going to do what I've   
   >>> always done in years past... Roast turkey/gravy/sweetpotatoes/mashed   
   >>> potoes/veggies as the first course, then homemade cheese ravioli and   
   >>> meatballs as the second course.   
   >>> It's really easy to do if you plan ahead and freeze the ravioli until   
   >>> it's time to cook it.   
   >>> :)   
   >> A proper Italian feast, for sure.... ;)   
      
   Well, because of Aunt Gert's death we had to forgo some things.. Just no   
   time.. but we did have ravioli and meatballs, so that was great.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
