Day 17

Mom;

We had quite a surprise today, a sympathy card from Stefn and Janna. I'm not totally floored by it, we did send them one when her mother passed on.  I'll add to the post tomorrow and type out what they sent.

We also got a Christmas card from the C*** family and two pictures of Chris in uniform.  VERY handsome boy!  I am so glad he came up for Thanksgiving and got to see you. Having him here helped us and I think it helped you as well.

We've been down with the flu but starting to come out of it.  I only teared up a couple of times while shopping today and didn't have to dash to the bathroom to hurl.

Ma, seriously - everywhere we look are turtles! Even doing laundry we find turtles (embroidered dish towels with turtles!)

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.

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. 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.
