Day 11, part 2

I got ahold of Stewart today.  We decided not to tell him. We're not sure how he's doing mentally or emotionally. He was talking today about the work on the grand hall and how his son will end up finishing it and how the son has been talking with the county for approval for future plans. I got the real sense that Stewart isn't doing hardly any of the work and doesn't believe he'll see it even nearly done.  He did say he's having trouble with his feet and is having special shoes made and he can't dance.

It was a little rough not telling him but I think it's the right decision. 

We've hung curtains between the living room and family room.

Gd we miss you, Mama

I've adapted it over the years (reducing the paprika so we aren't reaching for a pitcher of water or milk like Jonathan Harker was). This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
