October 30 2023 Newsletter: Letter to the editor reply published: From tracker-boo!: It was a wild anniversary week. I participated here and there. I found almost too much was going on. It kept my head spinning. I had a hard time deciding what to do or write. I was trampled by those jumping at the chance to submit their writing. How did I miss being able to give a free MB for seven days? I hope I will be better prepared next year. Good newsletter, Jace. Congrats and thanks.
Editor's reply: Thanks. WDC's festivities sure do make one's head spin.

EXCERPT: “Can you send me the thread, I can’t find it,” said my cousin Elaine. She was calling for the second time in four days. I had my sewing box on the nightstand. I left the lid off intending to finish the dress for my antique doll. Elaine, I thought. She was always losing things.
