Hey Ruth!

-> 
-> ->  hn> Next trip kiddo, next trip! (grin)
-> 
-> -> Yes, but then I'll be more restricted in what I can/can't do on my feet
-> -> cooking stuff up afterward.  We're in a prolonged colder period and I
-> -> wanted to have a freezer full of soups, stews, etc as well as giving
-> 
->  hn> You sit on one of those stools you got....and give Steve good
->  hn> directions to follow (grin)! I can't seem to be able to do that same
-> 
-> Trouble is, we've got 2 different ways of doing things.  They work well
-> together but I give directions according to how I do something; Steve
-> will want to do it in his way and throw me off track.  It's easier if I
-> write it down and stay out of his way but close enough that I can
-> trouble shoot easily.

Yeh, we have two ways of doing things around here too My way..and 
the wrong way (grin)...a lot of the time we end up doing things the wrong 
way (chuckle).
-> 
->  hn> thing though...when Anne has a knife in her hand and is cutting
->  hn> veggies or something I get scared she's gonna lose a finger ( or
->  hn> arm!). I've tried to teach her how to use a big knife but she just
->  hn> doesn't seem to feel comfortable with one...and it scares me enough 
so
->  hn> that I usually don't let her do anything with one (grin).
-> 
-> I'm comfortable with a big knife; I generally use a chef's knife and a
-> paring knife for most all of my cutting work.  OTOH, my mom has a
-> problem, even with a paring knife, avoiding cuts.  She had a chef's
-> knife, usually kept out of reach (when we were small), but rarely used.
-> Her basic knives tho aren't the greatest nor sharpest.
-> 
I'm not sure what it is with Anne, she's got good enough motor skills to 
handle a knife ...but for some reason she's just "clumsy" with them. And you'll

get more cuts from a dull knife than from a sharp one (G)

-> -> -> Take care of yourself; the chicken soup sounds like a good idea.
-> 
-> ->  hn> I'm better already, although Anne kept an eagle eye on me all
->  hn> weekend
-> ->  hn> long. I don't usually come down with anything but when I do I 
either
-> ->  hn> "it" and am laid low for a longer than usual span of time...we were
-> ->  hn> lucky this time I bounced! (grin) Made the chicken soup and it was
-> ->  hn> wonderful!
-> 
-> -> Good to hear that!  I'm still coughing at times like I have TB.
-> 
->  hn> Make the soup! (grin)
-> 
-> Maybe this week end.

We finished the last of my soup last night for dinner....boy was it
