Hi Ruth,

-> is the only place we ever encountered mice tho the potential was there
-> in several other places we've lived.

 RH> No cold weather to drive them in, but also no cold weather to slow
 RH> them down!

No; it's fairly consistant over there temerature-wise.  But I would have
thought we'd encounter them in AZ or either of our duty stations in TX
(San Angelo or Fort Hood).


->  RH> house ever liked it so I gave up.

-> Steve thinks any other bread is inferior to mine.  Of course he
thinks -> that about most of my cooking too. (G)

 RH> It makes up for his occasional eccentricities.

Kinda-sorta.  He did approve of the strawberry rhubarb jam I made today.
Got 6 half pint jars worth plus taste test samples.

-> No fun! I got a "you're doing fine, come back in 6 months" check up from
-> my primary care doctor this morning.  This after a killer migraine
-> headache last night.

 RH> Ouch.  Big ouch.  On the other hand, at least it left.

And I'm glad it did.  It usually takes about 6 hours from the time I
start aggressive treatment. Unfortunately, I don't get an aura so I
can't tell if it'll be a "normal" headache or a migraine until it gets
really bad.


->  RH> Or olives.  I can usually walk past the chocolate, but preserved
->  RH> olives are a whole new ballgame!

-> OTOH, I'd ditch the olives if chocolate was nearby.

 RH> Depends on the chocolate and the time of the month for me.

Anything other than milk or white "chocolate" and any time of the month.
If it's milk or white, I'd probably go for the olives but if I'd not had
any chocolate in a while, then even the milk might get precidence over
the olives.

-> This past week end tho, the Savvanah area set several record for
-> temeratures (lowest highs and record lows).  It's supposed to hit only
-> the low 60s (if that) today.

 RH> Low 60s?  Try 41 here on Thursday.  That's the projected high.  We're
 RH> getting January, but delayed until April.

Same here.  Remember, we didn't have temps much below th low 60s (night
time) in HI so this winter has been a shock to our bodies.  The house is
well insulated tho--better than most any other military housing we've
lived in.

-> -> After all, he's from the land of fruits, nuts and flakes.

->  RH> Born under the astrological sign of the Granola!

-> With fruitcakes ascending.

 RH> And Captain Crunch influencing his chart.

Heavenly Hash (read it any way you want) in the mixture too?

-> You're the northeast, we're supposed to be the sunny south!

 RH> Supposed to be.  Every once in a while we get sick of the cold and
 RH> send it your way for a while.

Gee, thanks. (G)

-> They know how to make shoes that fit, not shoes for fashion.

 RH> Even then I can have trouble.  THe ones that are supposed to be my
 RH> size often aren't, and I've never had a pair yet with both the front
 RH> part and the heel actually fitting properly.

Make lasting friends with a cobbler.

->  RH> That's one I haven't run across.  I've run across plenty of Indian
->  RH> cultural stuff, but not that particular group.
 RH> ->
-> The kids started their tour in mid January and go until mid December.  I
-> thik they do mostly churches and places like that--very enthusiastic
-> group of youngsters!  Got hugs from several of them afterward for having
-> them come and perform.  If we could have worked out logistics, we could
-> have had several stay with us as well for the 2 days they wer in town.

 RH> We get groups like that through here sometimes, just not that one.

If you ever do...................
