Hi Carol,

RH> got 2 new chairs, one for each of us. Steve's chair was still fairly
RH> good so it got put in the sewing room to use at one of my other machin
RH> tables.

 CS> Well, I have just the one.  Don's suckin' now <g>.

So he may get a new one soon?  After extended times out at sea do you
come home to find unexpected surprises like a new computer chair or
something along that line?  If Steve is gone, we'll keep each other
aware of new acquisitions like that but every so often, if he's gone
long enough, one or the other of us will forget that the other did say
something about having purchased a new whatever.


RH> It was a hoot; she is a wisp of a gal and was pregnant out to
RH> ...........here. The baby was born 5 days later.

 CS> Snicker, reminds me of the last day I taught DP A school before
 CS> Charlotte was born.  I was getting ready to perch on the stool and one
 CS> of the guys ran out to check it to make sure it was big enough.  I was
 CS> probably wider with a measure than I was tall and my tummy was bigger
 CS> than my hips by far.  I kinda looked like a 90lb elf who swallowed a
 CS> 30lb watermelon.

I started bigger than 90 pounds with Rachel (about 120); with Deborah I
was a bit over 100 which was too low for my body (5'6", medium build).

RH> the one in San Angelo, TX where he had some follow on training.  For
RH> senior NCO housing, the kitchens are really bad.

 CS> The one here is decently big. It's almost too big if that makes sense.

RH> I know what you mean.  Our best kitchen was probably in Berlin (for
RH> military housing); we're going to try & incorporate a bit of that one
RH> into this one by putting slide outs into the pantry.  Only thing was,
RH> was avocado green cabinetry.  We got around it by putting up contact
RH> paper on the upper level--a white background with thin red, blue, yell
RH> and IIRC, green plaid striping. It also lacked a dishwasher.

 CS> I dont mind the avocado green but it's been a time since I saw it.  My
 CS> kitchen at home in VB has a lovely dark pine knotty wood look.

It was a big room and that much avocado was just too overpowering.  The
light print contact paper helped give it a lighter feeling.  One of
these days I'll have a kitchen I can really call my own but that's still
a ways off.


RH> No fun at all.  BTW, remember last year we were talking about quilted
RH> jackets?

 CS> Yeah, I never did find that one I was thinking of for you.  I'll peek
 CS> about though as it's still in mind.  Just wrong season to get'em
 CS> cheaply.

RH> OK, it's colder here on the mainland than I remember. (G)

 CS> Hehe I'll look about.  Those quilted ones are just about right for
 CS> where you are.  I was at sea for the 'right time' to get them but will
 CS> look!

Sounds good.  It's grey again today, probably another rainy night in
Georgia comning up.
