Hi Janis,

New and improved isn't always so.

I probably should give it a try. It wouldn't hurt to.

 JK> Lol.. so have we (grin).  The Block-heads are in a lot of demand for

Even if they don't have the sense they were born with. (G)

Probably. My mom was a stay at home for some years, then started as a
school aide.  Two years later, she moved into the library (getting her
master's as she went) and retired from it about 20 years later. Then she
"temporarily" took on the job as public librarian for the town; she
retired from it about 16 years later.


 JK> > That was a bad attack!

 JK> Yes, it was.. that's why I called him at home :)  It must have been

But he was willing to help at that hour.  Steve called my pulminologist
at home when I had the reaction to singular but it was a Sunday
afternoon.

Kinda hard to live closer than that. (G)

We're in western NY; the humidity is amazing! Probably since there's no
air conditioning it feels so hot.  BTW, I got the rest of the stuff for
the braccoile and lasagne yesterday.  My MIL said to get thin sliced
round steak  for the former.

 JK> We're still coffee diehards (laugh).  Not enough hours in the day, it

But tea is better for you than all that coffee. (G)


 JK> Italian Greenbeans with Balsamic Vinegar

Looks good. samples atthe picnic?

 JK>      1 package frozen Italian flat greenbeans, or 1 pound fresh
 JK> greenbeans
