We haven't ever taken the flu or COVID shots. We both had it once before any shots were out and that is that. I am one of those who do not trust it all but glad it is available to those who do.
WMUT - backed potatoes are great. When we go campging with groups (like this next weekend) one meal is baked potatos and everyone brings something to put on it - chili, cheese, bacon, pulled pork, broccolli - you name it!

Thank you MJP for allowing me to make Theo's block. I had fun even though I riped out most of it at least once. I kept mixing up the material. But I am happy with both and hope he will like it too. He will learn traditional vs modern blocks.

Reminder that all blocks must be made 12-1/2 inches square and hopefully will be made with an eye to the fabric requests.

If you are making "extra" blocks, when you post them please note that they are "extra" and are not part of the requirement of one block per F8 you have received. If you don't do that, it confuses the group and me. I keep track of all blocks made and I expect 19 blocks per person, each in it's own baggie, to be returned to me. If you are making extras, do not use a baggie for it but add it to the existing baggie for the recipient. I do not count blocks, I count baggies. Extras will complicate the sort if suddenly I've got too many baggies per block maker.

Everyone is required to keep in touch weekly and by that I mean post weekly, hopefully to acknowledge blocks made for you and to read what may be important information like this post. If I don't hear from you. I will be contacting you by pm. email or text or as a last resort, by phone. If I'm having to track you down, there is a problem so please post weekly at a minimum. If you are going to be unavailable for a period of time, please let me know so I don't start worrying that something has happened to you.

Thanks for reading all of this.

DH and I tried to grow tomatoes here but we just don’t have enough sunlight in the fenced area and the deer decimate most plants they can reach. I envy those with veggie gardens.

Done and done! One more for GramE.

FYI: The dark fabric around the outside is purple not black
