I know, amyth, I can't WAIT.
Just emailed ex-roomie what she owes me in final bills. It's over $300. Here's hoping she pays me! I only charged her $25 for cleaning (my last landlady in CH, who's a friend, charged me $200 to clean the whole house).
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
If she doesn't pay you, I'll write her a reallllly nasty letter, full of Latin.

I talked to G'ma today she's doing well, except one of her oldest, dearest friends passed away a few days ago. They'd be friends for 70 years.

Yeah I'm not sure how they met, but I think maybe they helped start a church together back in Tallahassee. (I know G'ma helped start one because where they lived was too far to drive down town to the churches during the war).
My Dad and Mrs S (G'ma's friend)'s daughter are the same age, I think only 3 months apart and G'ma and Mrs S helped each other out and traded child care for errands and things like that.
They used to go to the grocery store together and they'd put the 2 babies in one pram and then Mrs S would go and do her shopping and G'ma would watch the babies and then they'd switch.
One time someone saw G'ma with the two babies and asked if they were twins and G'ma said "They are. Born only 3 months apart!"
The other story is at one point both G'ma and Mrs S decided to start doing calisthenics at home to stay in shape. I'm not sure what prompted this. But they didn't have any pants or bathing suits so they wore boxer shirts and undershirts to do the exercises. I want to say they borrowed from their husbands, but I'm not sure G'ma could that - she was nearly a foot shorter than my grandfather.

Teppy, you will be glad to hear the GF pumpkin bread came out scrumptious. I did not have to resort to the GF brownie mix I bought just in case. FTR, I couldn't find the Better Batter at Whole Foods, but they did have the King Arthur GF flour and, holy shit, it's expensive. But the pumpkin bread turned out very nice.

smonster,
you need to take her to small claims if this stretches out.

I really need to write down the stories, G'ma had some really interesting experiences.
I still have tons of Xmas stuff to do. I've finished: 1 cowl for my brother's gf, 1 scarf for my nephew, 1 dishtowel for my dad.
I still need to finish: scarves for Mom and brother, a cowl and scarf as another person, scarf for my aunt, dishtowel and dishclothes for my dad - this is for his beach cottage. I was going to make him a scarf but I wanted to do something different.
Plus wrap the presents that I have to send out in the mail tomorrow or Tuesday depending on my schedule. Plus deposit my pay check tomorrow and order stuff from Amazon.
