    >>> Eventually things will settle down, and you will go to satisfy your   
    >>> curiosity... ;)   
      
    JK> Sure... and then the Jeopardy! GOAT happened... BIG distraction :) I   
    JK> was SO glad to see Ken Jennings win last night :) :)   
      
   I only see Jeopardy rarely, at someone else's house, or elsewhere... I   
   take it it was an exciting show, then...?   
      
    >> hehe.. still haven't gone up there to try them on or see if they are   
    >> there... but I have a feeling they will fit "mostly" fine .   
    >> Eventually though I will get upstairs and check them out, I especially   
    >> want to check on a black velvet dress that is in a dress storage bag.   
    >> I would be crushed if that one was damaged... but it should be fine :)   
    > Hopefully so....  :)   
      
    JK> Indeed :)  Today I'm making a loaf of bread in my pullman pan (it's   
    JK> one of the very long ones, not the short chubby ones) so I'll wait   
    JK> until my hands are free of all the flour, etc. before going upstairs to   
    JK> check it out. :)    
      
   Success on both parts, I hope...?  (both the bread coming out well, and   
   the finally getting upstairs... [g])   
      
    >>>> I remember I gave some of the kids' clothes I made to some friends who   
    >>>> had sons and daughters about the same size as my two, needless to say   
    >>>> those moms were very happy.  The one I remember most was a clown   
    >>>> costume my son had requested for Halloween... it was beautiful    
    >>> And hopefully the kids enjoyed them as well...  :)   
    >> Yep :)  Much later, I made various things for my daughter's boys, like   
    >> when her first was a baby (and later, her 2nd son), I made fancy diaper   
    >> covers (water proof yet... ). Overalls, jeans, you name it ...   
    >> those things I sewed lasted so well, my daughter was able to give them   
    >> to her friends later. That's the thing about home made clothing... it   
    >> generally does last longer than store bought "stuff"    
    > And has more style, often as not... :)  Especially when done by someone   
    > that knows what she is doing...  :)   
      
    JK> Now it's a bit harder to thread the needle, but they make gadjets for   
    JK> that, and most of my machines use an auto-threader, so that helps :)   
       
   So you still are able to do some sewing like that... :)   
      
    >> I remember my sister's wedding was a busy time for me... I also made   
    >> my mother's "mother of the bride" dress... it was beautiful.. Gold   
    >> designs on a see-through fabric over a taffeta shell... :)  She loved   
    >> that one :)   
    > That does sound lovely.... :)  And that does sound like a particularly   
    > busy time, with all that to make... :)   
      
    JK> It was gorgeous, she loved it... We went to the fabric store at the   
    JK> time and she picked out the pattern/fabric she wante, then I went to   
    JK> work.    
      
   And now a nice memory of good times with your mom and sisters... :)   
      
    JK> I clipped a number of bok choy leaves/stems the day before yesterday   
    JK> for a dish I made with them, they tasted so good :)  The eggplant   
    JK> plants are doing really well right now as well... can't wait for those :)    
      
   Just keep tending them... ;)   
      
    >> They are almost ready to start grabbing some stalks for baby bok choy   
    >> :)  It is amazing to me :)   
    > It is indeed amazing.... :)   
      
    JK> They were so good, incredible flavor.   
      
   And you have more to look forward to over the winter... nice... ;)   
       
    >> Now I have to get some other veggies planted in another aerogarden   
    >> planter I have... That one has been sterilized and it's just waiting   
    >> for me to get to it :)   
    > Sounds like you'll be set for winter veggies.... :)   
      
    JK> Yep :)   
      
   So, have you gotten that planter planted yet....?   :)   
      
   ttyl       neb   
      
   ... He blows his horn loudest who is lost in the fog.
