Why is The Rum Gone?

My daughter is making me an eggnog as I post. With rum. There was only a tiny bit left in the first bottle, the second bottle was empty, finally the third bottle had rum. Jessie's question was, "Geez, are you guys pirates?" Which led to to ask in my best Johnnie Depp voice, "Why is the rum gone?"

Day four of dressmaking is done, the first dress is not. We're closer! And farther away! Why is the rum gone? Tomorrow we're hitting the ground running like marines on the beach. We put together our plan of attack tonight, synchronized our watches, and at oh nine hundred tomorrow, the sewing begins. Before the sewing, however, is a run to Home Depot by Dave for a space heater to fill in for the split wall unit in the fiber studio that went on the fritz today. It was originally a screened in sunporch off the house and is not tied into the home HVAC system. It also has patio doors (six sets of them) on both long sides of the room which do not keep the heat in and the cold out well at all. On these 44 degree days, we'd freeze without a space heater.

Tomorrow, pictures of dresses. Please, God, plural dresses!
