Hey Ruth!

That's my rationalization too (grin) although I have not bought any new 
shades of paint recently and have been very happy with my "pallette" at this 
point. 

-> Friday night to "celebrate" liberation from crutches, Steve took me to

-> both Steve's flounder & my shrimp were broiled a bit too long.  They had
-> some of the same seasoning but not quite as heavy as the scallops.  His

That's the way to do it! We have a hard time finding good Italian places 
anymore...Olive garden has lowered prices (as well as standards) for Italian 
food that most places that were less than great went out of business, and 
the ones that are left are overpriced and/or very limited in what they serve. 
We do have a couple of good places left but not as many as we used to 
have. 
sigh
chat with you soon
