JK> Yep... Of course now I have 'other' things to deal with since Aunt
JK> Gert died.. Among other things, she had a box of some 20 porcelin dolls
JK> that Ron unpacked (they were in her closet). One of his cousins had
JK> told him that Aunt Gert had a very very valuable doll that her mother
JK> had given her but I haven't seen it. I have a feeling some other
JK> relative grabbed that one at some point before we took Aunt Gert in...
Possible that she might have given it away...
JK> regardless, there are now beautiful porcelin dolls (some with stands)
JK> on a bookcase I "freed" up in my living room. Not so extremely
JK> valuable (like thousands' a piece) but they seem to be worth something
JK> - and what is great is, they remind me of her because she used to
JK> display them all in a beautiful glass enclosed wooden display case.
That's great... :) You get a very nice way to remember her, and can
enjoy the dolls for themselves, too... :)
JK> We have many boxes of her clothes/coats that we'll get over to the
JK> local thrift shop, etc... Hopefully that will help someone somewhere.
That's a big job, too.... And I'm sure that there will be those that
will be blessed by getting them... :)
>>>> 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.. :)
> Good. :)
JK> I remember I gave some of the kids' clothes I made to some friends who
JK> had sons and daughters about the same size as my two, needless to say
JK> those moms were very happy. The one I remember most was a clown
JK> costume my son had requested for Halloween... it was beautiful
And hopefully the kids enjoyed them as well... :)
>> 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 suppose it might have been possible to get a special order... but that
> likely would have been a lot more expensive... a very good thing in that
> case that you had the skills to make her one yourself... :)
JK> and maybe have taken more time? anyway, I knew I could take care of
it
Yeah, probably would have taken more time.... so very good that you
could and did take care of it for 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
> 12 weeks.... middle of March, then...? Even that is rather amazing... :)
JK> Yes :)
JK> The plants are already going crazy :) When you plant them in the
JK> aerogarden, you cover each seed pod with a plastic cap to maximize
JK> moisture... You remove the caps when the first "true leaves" show and
JK> start pressing against the cap. I had to remove just about all of the
JK> bok choy caps yesterday, so they are off to a great start :)
That's quick... :) You'll be harvesting them in no time at all.. :)
ttyl neb
... Some people make the world more special just by being in it.
