I haven't really been around here because I have had house guests for a week, and other relatives staying in hotels, all of whom distracted me from the computer, which in any event was being totally monopolized by children playing new computer games, while I did mountains of laundry and cooked fantastic, festive meals, and cut beautiful winter flowers from my garden, and fed all the wild birds and animals in the neighborhood in my spare time.
Now I have diddled away the entire morning, when I should have been making homemade noodles. Since this is a laborious process, and a line is again forming for computer time, I'm going to go without having answered most of the posts I was trying to catch up on. Sorry!!! I'll be back on the next occasion I can steal some time. Hi Del and MSB particularly--I am not ignoring you!!!!!!
