JANET we were posting same time, my sis is also a BOTH - I possibly could be, apparently I do lots of things left handed, I guess I just did what others did when I was little. My sis was never told to write with either left OR right, she just did, she's mostly right now. There are so many things you need specially for left handed when sewing - scissors, cutters. And one of my girlfriends is left handed, she learnt to knit the european way, she couldn't do it otherwise !

Trish, I don’t use anything special for sewing, just the standard scissors and rotary cutters. I guess I hold the scissors upside down. And I don’t watch lefty tutorials, I’m so used to doing crochet upside down and backwards from the righties, I just adjust it in my head.
From everything I’ve read, 10% of the population are natural lefties, it’s a natural variation/adaptation. My brother Mike is almost ambidextrous. 
I’m off to bed. I’ve been jittery all week, I think it was waiting for Sam’s ashes to be buried, I’m relieved to have it done. 

Sorry, I don't know what happened to my message, it looked weird so I deleted it.

I am ambidextrous also. When I rotary cut I use both hands. I crochet right handed and knit the continental way. Writing and eating are definitely left handed. I can write with my right hand but it's slow. I have always been able to write better on a chalk board with my right hand.

Looks like we'll be getting more rain today. Hooray!!

MY NEIGHBOR WAS HERE USING MY PHONE AGAIN.  I AM JUST HAPPY SHE DOES NOT COME TOO EARLY.  I LIKE BEING SHOWERED AND DRESSED BEFORE ANYONE SEES ME IN THE MORNING.

ITS ANOTHER FINE DAY HERE.  THE RAIN HAS HELD OFF AND NOW NOT ANY TIL TOMORROW AFTERNOON OR EVENING.  THAT'S FINE THOUGH FOR MYGARDEN.  ITS HAD PLENTY THIS WEEK ALREADY.

DEVONNE......I NEVER HEARD OF KILT LETTUCE.  I WOULDN'T TRY IT ANYWAY SINCE I ONLY LIKE CRISPPY LETTUCE LIKE ICEBERG.  SOFT LETTUCE IS NOT ON MY MENU.
I HAVE AARP MEDICARE ADVANTAGE THRU UNITED HEALTHCARE FOR MY MEDICARE.  I DO NOT PAY A CENT FOR IT.
IT HAS A DEDUCTIBLE BUT THAT'S FOR HOSPITAL COSTS MAINLY.  MY REGULAR CARE DOCTOR VISITS ARE FREE AND ANY SPECIALIST IS ONLY $35 A VISIT.  AN ER VISIT IS $90.   MANY LAB COSTS ARE FREE AND EVEN MY BP MEDS ARE FREE.  THE MEDS ARE ON A TIER PLAN.  THEY COST A FLAT RATE DEPENDING ON THE TIER.  THE REALLY EXPENSIVE ONES I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A PERCENTAGE BUT LUCKILY I DO NOT NEED ANY COSTLY ONES.  I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PLAN.
LIKE YOU, IT TRY TO DO MY DISHES AS NITE BEFORE BEDTIME.  IF I DON'T THEY WAIT TIL THE NEXT NIGHT BUT I NEVER LET THEM GO MORE THAN THE 2 DAYS.

TRISH.......I LIKE THE IDEA OF SHARING.  ESPECIALLY WHEN I BUY A BOX OF SOMETHING LIKE THE DEVIL DOGS AND DO NOT WANT TO EAT THEM EVERY DAY FOR OVER A WEEK.  OR A WHOLE PIE CAN BE CUT IN PIECES TO SHARE.  AND A WATERMELON, THE SAME. 
FOR RECIPES, I CHECK THEM OUT ON UTUBE TO SEE WHAT GOES INTO THEM AND HOW TO COOK THEM.  IT BEATS JUST READING A RECIPE FROM A PAGE.    BUT SOMETIMES A RECIPE CHANGES.  SUCH AS THE EGG BITES.  I WENT FROM EACH INDIVIDUAL ONE IN THE MUFFIN PAN, THEN TO THE CASSEROLE WITH THE HASH BROWNS AND FINALLY MY FAVORITE, THE TATER TOT SAUSAGE CASSEROLE WHICH IS SO MUCH SIMPLER AND WELL LOVED BY EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY AND NEIGHBORS, TOO.  I LIKE SIMPLER.

ENOUGH FROM ME.  HAVE A NICE DAY.  HUGS, QB S

BJ, as Al Roker gives the weather report on Good Morning America, I think of you when he talks about the northwest part of our country. 

My guild is having a quilt show next week so I have been "borrowing" some quilts that I made and gave to family members.  I think I will end up with more than twenty all together!  That includes bed quilts, throw size, and baby quilts.  I'll also take some table toppers and wall hangings.  I know that 2 other members will have approximately that many.  Other members haven't been quilting as long so they don't have as many.  But we should have enough to put on a great show.  Hopefully I will get some good photos.

There are a couple of small shepherds hook with solar lights beside my driveway.  With some erosion happening and a lot of rain overnight, one of them has fallen over and ended up in the ditch.  I'm afraid I will fall if I try to get it so will need to ask for help.  I have extended family members nearby so it shouldn't be hard to find someone.

STRINGS I got your PM THANK YOU safer than putting it on here. I'll change it in the file I have. I appreciate the trouble you have gone to helping San!

PATTY too funny, I must have been trying to change when you were deleting LOL I haven't heard yet about the books, I should get an email tomorrow, they close on Sat at lunchtime, and back Mon. Our little branch has some odd hours, they don't open on Thurs till noon, and stay open late. 

DEVONNE seem like lefties might run in families. Greg is like my sis, Do you like the Tesla, I don't really like the shape of them - one of the girls at training has one. I haven't seen the other. 

MARYLOU that is a lot of quilts, I would love to see the pics as well. Will they be on show for a few days? 

BJ I am sorry you don't feel so great today, maybe rest a bit, you might have overdone it a bit with visiting. Rest my friend ((((hugs))))

SANDRA I have tons of hamper soup to share, we'll have it tonight, but I'll cook some steaks as well. I have never heard of that lettuce either, and I like mine crispy, I put into an ice bath in summer often to crisp them up before serving. I love that crunch in your mouth LOL

We are getting a very light sprinkle, my beck is sore today, I think I slept funny on the pillow. I have tried to keep turning and loosen it up.

I was going to get the borders cut on the quilt, but can't be bothered today, Maybe I will get more energy another day.

I'll lock and bring up the next week,

Have a great Sunday everyone!
