Well Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> (along with Scuppers the schnauzer) go to Leavenworth and 
enjoy a
-> ->  hn> friday night out and then Saturday I'll drop Anne off at the
-> ->  hn> seminar"retreat" and Scuppers and I will enjoy the town on our 
own
-> ->  hn> (grin) and pick Anne up on Sunday Afternoon and come back
-> ->  hn> home...Jonesy will be fine with extra food and water in her cage
->  HN> and
-> ->  hn> she'll only sulk for a day when we return (grin).
-> 
-> -> Sounds like fun for all except Jonesy.  Find any interesting little
-> -> eateries you want to go back to?
-> 
-> OK, it's this coming week end.  Marc Lewis had big problems with his
-> board so our Fido got messed up for a bit & I wasn't clear on the
-> timeframe.
-> 
Yeppers! Anne got Friday off so we're gonna head out in the morning and 
spend friday enjoying Leavenworth together and then Saturday she has to go 
to her leadership seminar thingy...and Scuppers and I will be on our own!

->  HN> Jonesy will be angry for a day or two but it's not practical to bring
->  HN> her along...and we leave the radio on for her to listen to and she has
->  HN> a cage full of toys to play with. She won't be happy but she'll be ok.
->  HN> You should do a google on Leavenworth. Back in the '60's the town 
was
-> 
->  HN> dying, so they got together and tried to figure out what they could 
do
->  HN> to keep the town "alive"...they came up with the Bavarian Mountain
->  HN> village theme, rebuilt most of the town's storefronts and geared
->  HN> themselves to a tourist based economy (the area has lots of
-> 
-> Good German eateries?  Rachel and David took us to a "Hofbrauhaus" in
-> Las Vegas last year; it was mediocre at best but they wanted us to know
-> they had German food availalbe I guess.  Steve had taken me to The
-> Chef's Table in Honolulu (Hawaii Kai) for my birthday; it's actually
-> Austrian but the food was "much" better than the place in Vegas.
-> Unfortunately, there aren't any German eateries around Savannah so we'll
-> have to look elsewhere.
-> 
Anne is of German/Bohemian stock so she loves the german food she grew up 
eating, Roladin, saurbraten, the little potato starch dumplingy things that 
have no taste...she loves all that stuff! So you can bet we'll be dining at one

of the german places in town tomorrow night! Do a google on Leavenworth 
and you'll see lots of stuff going on!
-> 
->  HN> recreational opportunities both summer and winter) and it has been a
->  HN> popular place to visit since then! When Amanda was younger we'd
->  HN> usually go twice a year, once in the winter to cross
->  HN> country ski and once in the summer to enjoy the mountains.
-> 
-> Sounds like fun.  I don't know how much cross country skiing I could
-> take now tho.  The foot is fixed; it's better than it was but still will
-> never be like it was before I broke it.
-> 
The nice thing about crosscountry skiing is that you can do it at your own 
pace and your own style! 

-> ->  hn> Did their life go on "hold" while they were in some of the most
-> ->  hn> interesting places on the planet? NOT ME...I explored every 
chance
->  HN> I
-> ->  hn> got! and met some wonderful
-> ->  hn> people along the way!
-> 
-> -> We did some travel, not as much as we would have liked to. Steve's 
unit
-> -> in Frankfurt gave him a lot of 3 & 4 day passes and then wouldn't let
-> -> him take them (work related isssues) so we stayed at home most week
-> -> several trips to Switzerland.  Berlin kept us busy, especially Steve.
-> -> He was in the state for almost a year total tho so we didn't travel as
-> -> much as we would have liked there either.
-> 
->  HN> We didn't get a lot of opportunities to make trips as a family
->  HN> either...My dad was most of the time TDY somewhere or off on a 
flight
->  HN> to or from
->  HN> somewhere. In the four years we were there I think we made two 
trips.
->  HN> I did almost all of my explorations on my own.
-> 
-> And now enjoying the memories again.
-> 
Never stopped! (grin)

-> -> -> Mine is getting to the full point.  But, we've got rice and several
-> -> -> other grains stowed in there too, as well as meal stuff.
-> 
-> ->  hn> Ours is way too small for that!
->  HN> ->
-> -> You'ld be surprised at how much you can fit into it. (G) We replenished
-> -> the grains Friday; I've got one more mega cook planned (well, maybe a
-> -> batch of marinara sauce also) and then the rest of the freezer space
-> -> will go for blueberries and peaches.
-> 
->  HN> Ours is very small so usually it's filled with things waiting to be
->  HN> thawed and eaten or thawed and cooked (grin). Right now it's got
->  HN> chicken parts, two frozen meat loaves, frozen cherries, some frozen
->  HN> stock, some blue ice freezer packs (I put them in Anne's lunch box),
->  HN> and some frozen veggies. that's about all the room there is (OH and 
my
->  HN> coffee beans!).
-> 
-> Sounds like yours is smaller than ours. I've got a fair amount of stuff
-> in it--enough to feed us lunch and supper for a couple of weeks.
-> 
Ours is very small! Could possibly get a weeks worth of meals in there, but 
it'd be tight!

-> ->  hn> laptop that made the trooper kill him when he glanced at it? (Grin)
-> 
-> -> No, the trooper glanced at the laptop in the patrol car and clipped
-> -> another vehicle, flipping it and killing one occupant, injuring the
-> -> other.
-> 
->  HN> I know, but it was just too much to resist teasing you a bit ! (grin)
-> 
-> Looking back, I see it was worded slightly ambiguous.  
-> 
And I am a total sucker for a good straight line! (chuckle!)
