From Miss Ellen

Kathy & I first met when she came to my front door telling me not the believe what her Mother had told me.  She ranted on for awhile & when I told her that Mrs. Carr had not told me anything, she stopped her pacing & said "OH".  We talked & got to know each other.  She liked turtles & I collect blue glass.  She loved to quilt, I loved embroidery, etc.  We became great friends.  We went to quilt shows & the Scotish Ceremonies.  I wanted to paint my living room but was not sure I could do it.  Kathy said I could do anything I wanted to do & I believed her & I have lived my life that way.  Kathy was a generous friend.  There with help when you needed something.  Though she moved far away, we were still close.  To say I will miss her can not possibly explain the way I feel.

(note: must have been a heck of an argument w/Grandma that week! The Carr women could be....passionate)

This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

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.
