That sounds good and we have the right weather for it. Have to give it a try Ed & Ruby

Bob, that sounds like a pretty good recipe...oughtta go good on these cold nights.....................

p.s. Hi Judith...hope all is well with you and Bob!!!!!!!!...MJ

Hi Ed and Ruby. Nice hearing from you. Hope all is well in Amarillo.

MadJack, Judith says Hi and pass a big hello to your crew.

Judith is ready to race the Night train, if she can get a couple of blocks head start.

On a second thought, better make that four blocks.

Bob, tell Judith, that we will give her a 6 block head start and make Jim wear a blindfold...of course, she will havvta carry the cow bell so Jim will know which way to go

Bob & Judith, things are fine in Amarillo. Hope to see you guys soon. We had a Great Grand son in May so Ruby is busy babysetting and loving it. We will have a great grand daughter Dec 19 and another great grand son approx Jan 23. We will have to sneak away for the next gathering. I have almost finished #2.( A variation of the winter warror) thanks to Mike S and his great designsand willing ness to share them. And I am planning #3. Now to find some time to use them. We thought retirement would be dull but no way so far. Ed & Ruby
