Gentle Spiders,
So, I finally pulled my IOLI - Montreal half finished Brioude lace piece
out of the guest bedroom to finish.  Took a bit, but I figured out where I
need to go next on it.  At least the bobbins and threads didn't tangle
themselves.  I need a diversion from the latest tangle in the Katrina mess.

I received a statement from FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Program
that indicates by their records my house flooded and they paid out almost
$45,000 for property and contents loss.  But my house didn't flood, and I
didn't file a claim!  So I've made a series of phone calls to them, my
insurance company, and the fraud hotline stating such.  My insurance
company will send a letter to NFIP and the fraud people (which gets turned
over to the FBI) stating they didn't facilitate filing a claim on my
behalf.  I need to clear my name and my house's status because this could
affect me financially if they decide they want their $45,000 back for flood
damages that didn't happen, and my home's value and ability to insure could
change if it was flooded.  Especially since nearly everyone in the world
knows this area flooded and all homes a suspect.  Bother, I say bother!

Meanwhile, I've also pulled out a crochet lace piece - very wide border for
a table cloth that needs finishing.  It's a UFO from several years ago...

where it was warm and muggy today, only needed an over shirt to run to the
grocery store.
