Dear All: Odd how we all have our likes and dislikes. There's a vegetable I just can't eat -- parsnips. But I don't say not to eat them because I don't like them. We are supposed to drink milk but I can hardly bear to taste it to see if it is sour. That shouldn't keep others from drinking it. I can use it on cereal and in cooking.

Hope, did the quilt get finished or not? I've often wondered. We have had a different sort of winter here in Ohio, cold early, then the rest of the time (so far) warm. I enjoy the letters of the readers' families, also the men's letters.

There is much flu around, some really bad cases. I enjoy the diet letters. I find it hard to reduce but one has to make up her mind, Fat or Food, -- and don't we all like Food. I was on a three-day diet once and really felt wonderful. Should go on again, as you get rid of poison in your system. Don't eat or drink a thing for three days. You can just feel poison going from your system. Then first thing, drink half a glass of warm water and eat very lightly for a few days, then keep on eating the things that are good for you. You will feel wonderful and wonder why you did not try it before. It helps those who have aches and pains to get rid of poison. -- Plank Road, Pennsylvania.

The quilts are well on the way to completion. Guess how many? FIVE! Three are all done, finished in peach, pink and yellow. The last two are being set together with blue and green, I think. Wish we could have a Household party and show them off. My deepest thanks to you all. -- Hope.
