 CS> Hadnt thought of that.  Thanks.  I don't recall how big the microwave
 CS> there was but I dont recall it as being so small, you couldnt get a TV
 CS> dinner in there.

RH> Most of them are big enough but I've seen a lot of small ones in hotel
RH> rooms.  The worst are those that sit on top of an equally small and ne
RH> to useless fridge.

Thats probably what we will have in VB for a bit.  I have to make the
reservations tonight for 5 days at the econolodge off Bonney road in Virginia
Beach.  I'm told the neighborhood isnt the best (never was, but it aint slums
either) but it has a good restraunt, free WiFi, mini-kitchen, and is on the
bus route to Charlotte's school.  About 50$ a day at the military rate with
orders inbound or outbound (owner is prior military, has a special rate). No
real 'frills' but we can live there a few days.  Mia Casita is the restraunt
and I'm told by locals, it's just as good now.  Has a small pub that Don and I
will enjoy (pub closes at 10pm which is fine with us).

If we do a picnic my way, Mia Casitas was top of my mind as a decent place to
eat out at.  We get drunk and cant get a cab, it's a 2 mile walk home on a
simple easy path with plenty of light.  Sidewalks all the way til you get to
my own Dodge Dr (a back water slow area and well lit there too).

BTW, I'm slow on catchup with the mail from Thursday.  Bew my back again when
it was near healed and cant site for long.  Cant stand for long either so
doing the shuffle up and down stuff.  Good drugs though.  Bad part, got foot
tingles this time and the Doc said if i were not transferring so soon, he'd
limdu me 6 months with descreen for shipboard until evaluated.  Instead, I
have referrals to be seen by medical in Norfolk (if nothing else goes wrong,
it waits til then).

Grin, bear withthe typos.  Valium is strong stuff!  Mix it with flexoril and
you can be high legally.  Yesterday, I didnt even try to check the computer
when they sent me home.  Wasnt up to it and I was also flying with some shot
they gave me (no idea what it was, pain killer stuff).  Got ti use the duty
driver to get home even.  Good thing too as i wasnt sure by then of how to
find 'home' anymore.  (They were careful, they called Dn who met me downstairs
and they gave him my meds with directions on what to take and when).

Good news.  My toes stopped tingling about 2 hours ago.  Then again, Don fed me
some pills about 3 hours ago...  I am not valium resistant at all.

 CS> whereas the sweet end crockpots better). A jar of home made minestrone
 CS> soup (vegetarian).

RH> Sounds like fun--pot luck for supper tonight. Today's paper had an
RH> article on lunch boxes and new versions of them.  A couple of companie
RH> have bento boxs now. (G)

Cool.  I had a micowave lasagna that Charlotte made me with fancy udon (tofu
and shrimp bits) that Ellen brought over.  Don got Popeyes earlier.  Elise
brought over rye bread.  Eddie dropped off a white cheesy spinach dish with
onions.  So much for emptyng the fridge this weekend!  Sumio wantd to take
Charlotte to the teen center but she said she had to stay home and watch me so
they played games on her DS2 in her room while i slept in the easy chair.

 CS> kitchen was more planned for demolishment than mine is <g>.

RH> I do plan in advance for both the kitchen and my sewing room.  Saves a
RH> lot of trouble at crunch time. I remember when we packed out to go to
RH> Germany and the mistakes I made then; I've learned and moved on.

Same here.  We are starting to toss out the dreck like old xmas cards that we
will never find even if we do pack them away.

RH> Sounds like something I'd consider buying to slice up for the freezer.
RH> recall seeing smaller turkey rolls when I was a kid (enough for our
RH> family for one meal) but haven't really noticed any in the past few
RH> years.  Maybe I just need to look for them. (G)

Not all are the same.  The little Louis (you know what i mean I hope) water
type are definately not the same thing though they have their place I guess.
