Hey Ruth!

-> I have my own time mostly but have to do certain things during the day.
-> For instance, I've got a load of clothes each in the washer & dryer now.
-> If the computer were downstairs, I'd have been on it while hard boiling
-> the eggs I did a bit ago as well. I've also got to make sure Steve has

It can be a chore finding time to do it all.....
but it's easier if Anne is having a late day
at school and I don't have to be home to fix 
an early dinner!

Let's just say when I got out of the navy 
I was more used to eating steak and lobster
than I have been since!

Dunno who he is, but our chief was there in the mid

-> Probably a lot of guy who didn't know the difference anyway. (G)

They did make a cute presentation...
and there were very few who didn't 
know what an oyster was. We were 
sailors after all! He made great 
oyster stew as well and his SOS 
was to die for! He was so good that 
the admirals kept trying to woo 
him away from us for shore duty..
but he LIKED cooking for a crew and 
had had enough of the high life at 
the white house....so he stayed 
with us...and we were GLAD!!
chat with you soon
