Mary, what a great story about your Aunt Ida. Things were different back in the day.
Chriss, please send some rain south. I miss it.
I need to head out the door and walk Mr. Jack. He is pacing.

Re: Saturday, Dec 12
Good morning!
Sarah is doing well. Sore and tired, but that is to be expected.
A few clean up chores that the elves left finishing up the decorating yesterday. A good vacuuming, then later the train.
Heading to sew. I have a dress to make for Emma. Not a hard pattern, so it should go quick. I hope!
Chriss - I just use a straight stitch from one hem, the bottom, to the hem on the sleeve. If it needs more or less as you go, I adjust how much I make the new seam allowance. Works on dresses, as long as there is not a pocket in the side seam. I even know a trick to shorten jeans, but you and I don't need that!
Aaron's cookies came out delicious. He shared with Michael, his favorite cookie. The girls helped add snowflakes to my windows. Lila kept trying to undecorated my tree! Aaron applied for a new position in his current job, a move up to the boss of his department. It would take him off the freeway, which I think, as a mom, would be a good thing! We will see what happens.
Stay Safe!
Hugs,
Jana
