Help, help! I've lost my MIL's recipe for Pear Honey! It is a soft fruit jam--very plain, no bells and whistles, pear-tasting, honey-brown, medium in color, the best pear preserves I've ever tasted. MIL was a Texas cook, and I've never seen this recipe elsewhere, so I am hoping one of you Texas...

Well, I finished my friends HUG today and sent it to another friend to be quilted....she is more than generous to do this, but I can't comfortably quilt anything larger than a crib size quilt with accuracy. NOw I need to finish the last few squares on Baby Rebekah's quilt...if I get it done in...

Larisa, I did that with an antique quilt top my great-Gram had made but not finished. I just added a back and some tie strings inside at the corners to cover a Goose Down duvet. As I recall, I made the back longer than the front so it could fold inside, envelope style. -- Anne "It's not having...

O'Leary showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. O'Leary had never been seen in church in his life. After Mass, the priest caught O'Leary and said "O'Leary, I am so glad you decided to come to Mass, what made you come?" O'Leary said, "I got to be honest with...

Hi, Friday night I walked into to climbing gym and saw that everybody was wearing skirts. Imagine (if you can) men climbing in dresses and heels, size 20 prom dresses, sarongs, or mini-skirts, and women climbing in cute, short little dresses from the 60's! I asked what was up and was told they...
