Hi Hap,

-> yourself.  It was almost as if he was waiting for someone to take a
-> picture (or several).

 HN> I enjoy raptor photography, they look so focused and intent, even when
 HN> they're not (grin)!

This one was probably focusing on what was available for its next meal.

->  HN> the shoes she wears regularly...no heels among them...one pair of
->  HN> pumps but they are short wedge heels I think.

-> I wore a pair yesterday without (too) much problem.  Need to put in
-> some heel "grabbers" tho so they won't slip.

 HN> Anne's appointment went ok, she's been having trouble with one of her
 HN> heels, and it's pretty inflamed and sore. I thought the doc would give

Ouch; as an elementary school teacher she has to be on her feet a lot
with the kids.  That is hard with good feet, really hard with hurting
ones.

 HN> her a cortisone shot but he decided they'll try taping it up first to
 HN> see if that helps. She's got to keep the tape on for 7 days...she's
 HN> not happy
 HN> about that because it means sponge baths all week instead of long hot
 HN> showers! (grin)

Can she not put it in a plastic bag (well taped shut)?  We adapted the
shower head here, as well as the one in HI, to a detachable one on a
hose.  Makes it easier when I can't do a standing shower (as in after my
foot surgery); we put a camp chair in the tub so I can sit and "sorta"
shower.

->  HN> year...have not been happy with the ones I've already
 HN> completed...so
->  HN> it's back to the drawing (well painting) board!

-> Always something. I need to get going on our annual card/letter but
-> don't really want to write some of the news (but it has to be done).  I
-> cooked the chicken today for multiple dishes to make up this week, also
-> made a batch of pea soup.  We will have some of it for supper; the rest
-> will get frozen for another meal or two.

 HN> How do you make pea soup with out pork products in it? I LOOOOOVE
 HN> split pea soup and always  put lots of pork in it!

Smoked turkey has almost the same flavor; I use a good bit of that and
Steve is a happy camper.

->  HN> He loves attention (grin) he's a good pup and plenty smart
->  HN> too....knows sign language!
 HN> ->
-> Then I could talk to him non verbally as I sign as well. (G) Saw Casey

 HN> ->
 HN> Scupper's is fairly well behaved, but he is spoiled as he gets lots of
 HN> attention from both Anne and me.

And Amanda when she's home. (G)  Sam, our cocker spaniel, was, despite
her trying not to spoil him initially, was Deborah's dog.  He'd follow
her to the ends of the earth if he could.

 HN> ->
 HN> I don't have much money, but don't need much, so Anne and I are in a
 HN> happy little spot where we have enough to meet our needs, and we don't
 HN> need to make more problems ! (grin)

I know, I'm giving you a hard time. Some people would jump at the chance
but don't realise how much work goes into making those $$.
