Minnie, I'm going to post to the gallery. I feel I'm running out of time and don't want to disappoint anyone. I'm looking forward to seeing some wonderful ideas. Thanks for keeping this board alive!

thank you for your response pam. i'll try to clarify for you. first, i am working with a lender. the lender wants to sell me a loan, which is why i am seeking other non-vested opinions. fmha is farmer's home and the loan is a subsidised loan if i need it to be.. so when i took out the loan in 1989 i got a 9% loan but only had to pay 2% of that each month, the rest was subsidised by them--which was the only way at the time i could get into homeownership. luckily i only needed the subsidy help for a few years before i was able to pay the full monthly note at 9%. recapture is basically paying back what the program 'lent' you while you were being subsidised. the house is fully functional, but what needs to happen is the kitchen, mudroom and septic need to be brought up to the remodeled standards of the rest of the house. basically we have the plan for the new kitchen addition fleshed out, but the work stopped when my husband became ill and he could no longer do the work. now we'll have to pay someone to do it, which will cost a lot more than doing it ourselves.

Very pretty. I may rush out and get some craft supplies. Let's see, one for Mom, two sisters, two SILS, four cousins I'm close to. Nine or ten should do it.

I'm putting a pool on my screened porch & trying to make a greenhouse

The 6 mil IRAC does retain a little more heat than 6 mil clear. But neither is a much better insulator than nothing. I've got two layers of the IR poly inflated and that's still very poor insulation. It probably cuts the heating bill in half compared to one layer of clear. But only delays temperature drop by about one hour at night. As the temperature falls in the evening the inside might be an hour later than outside at say reaching the freezing point. It still requires heat input to maintain anything above outside by morning. This is with a large greenhouse, 32x54x16ft. I also have a sunroom on the south side of the house. It provides a large amount of heat to the house by day. But at night it's the same as the greenhouse. So I move plants out at 9am and back inside at 5pm.

Congratulations to both of you on this hard-won and worthwhile achievement. As for not just tooting the horn but bringing in the whole band to celebrate ... ... now, with the healthier lungs, you'll be better able to get into that band. But ... would you find it not helpful to go out on a toot, to celebrate? That kind would be O.K., I guess. ole joyful

Glad you ladies are getting started on Valentines!

You may think the link below (a children's site) is a little 'childish' but many of the ideas can be "gussied up" and used for adult cards... it's all in the materials and skill level used. Anyway, it has great ideas, including pop-ups, one of my favorites!

Hi:

Just posted my Valentine for this year. I prepared a quarter fold valentine on index stock. On the front, I imprinted one row of hearts. Then I put the front on a hoop and embroidered the hedgehogs on my machine. They are really cute.

Aunt Mary, I love your card. Love the design! I just got my embroidery machine a couple of months ago and haven't tried stitching on paper yet.
