Hi Hap,

-> -> end with the Christmas cantata at church and Deborah's coming for a
-> -> visit that I doubt I'll be at the "table" over the week end.

->  HN> You need to get that girl to the table too!
->  HN> We'd be nice to her.....at first (grin)!

-> She's busier'n a one eyed cat watching 2 mouse holes with her job, on
-> line college classes, military schools, etc.  I don't know if she has 5
-> extra minutes in a day.

 HN> Same as Amanda, we've tried to get her interested,

 HN> grow up and have their own lives, and we just have
 HN> to wave to em as they go by! (grin)

Yes, unfortunatly, they grow up and move out.  Deborah met UDD on one of
our trips from AZ to NY (We stopped and gave him some computer stuff-old
C-64/Amiga.) and may have met one or two other folks from the echo but
never got "into" it.  She participates in MySpace, as do a lot of her
friends.

->  HN> She is spoiled...and I'm happy to be able to do it!
->  HN> If you've been reading you'll know she spent most of

->  HN> a bleeding ulcer in her upper colon...Thank goodness
->  HN> she's better now!

-> Our feed went wonky Thursday and came back last night.  I saw something
-> in the traffic in your messages to others so got the general idea
-> something was wrong.  I'm glad she's home but tie her down--rest is
-> about the most important thing she needs right now.  That, and good,
-> nourishing food.

 HN> She spent the whole weekend in "recovery"
 HN> mode, and went back to school today and did just fine!

Yes, but don't let her do too much yet.  She will need more recovery
time so keep on spoiling her. (G)

->  HN> If Anne feels up to it I'll be fixing penne
->  HN> alfredo for her tonight....but I don't think
->  HN> she's gonna be up for it ...she's tired!

-> I know the feeling.  She may want a few bites but not much beyond that.
-> I've been there, done that with health issues quite a bit so I can
-> sympathise.  Give her a big hug from both of us please.

 HN> Will Do....with pleasure!

So, did you make the penne alfredo?  I pulled some (multi) bean soup
base out of the freezer this morning, sauteed some carrot, celery,
onion, red pepper and garlic, added the soup base and a pint container
of poultry stock and let it simmer a couple of hours.  Made a nice hot
lunch on a coolish day.
