Hi Janis,

It's worth thinking about.

Yes, we're dealing with a lot we never thought, even a year ago, we'd
not be doing so.  Had my latest blood check today.  Numbers are still in
the normal range but a bit lower than a couple of weeks ago. I'm about
half done now

Well, I'll do anything to keep you from smoking too much. I was on my
feet too much Friday evening and Saturday & really felt it into last
night.

 JK> That's really really neat :)  I remember seeing my daughter's face

I know; I was there when Robert was born. Rachel and David had funny
reactions--hers was that "he doesn't look like an Aidan (the name they'd
originally picked for him) and David thought that he looked exactly like
my father. I got back to HI after spending 4 weeks with the kids and our
neighbor told us she was pregnant.

Steve hates it; I'll take it in small doses.

We're like that more on week ends.  There are enough during the week
evening committments that I usually plan either supper or get something
while we're out. Took out another freezer meal for dinner yesterday but
will do something else tonight.


>> She was born July 21st :)

 JK> > That's my birthday too. (G)

 JK> That is too much :) :) Absolutely :)

It's a good day to have a birthday. (G)


 JK> > It helps to know what the packers expect.

 JK> packed beforehand :)

We've had packers do it for the last 8 moves but most of them have been
ones where we could not do it ourselves (to/from overseas).  Steve asked
before we packed out on the last one if I wanted to hold out a sewing
machine. I declined but will from now on--he ended up buying me one
while we were waiting for housing that we sent to Deborah later. We do
pack things like the computers, my sewing stuff, etc in their original
boxes which the movers then put into other boxes--gives it another layer
of protection.  I'll have my sewing stuf organised to the point where I
know what's where and can get my sewing room set up faster. In the
kitchen I'll have herbs and spices I want moved packed up so the movers
don't have to deal with them. Then I'll hold out what I'll use until we
clear quarters, toss or give away the rest.

 JK> > You don't hear about it much these days.

 JK> No you don't.. I remember seeing it in the Joy of Cooking and figuring
 JK> how could you not do this :)

I don't remember where I first read about it but I think we'd pretty
much made the switch before then.


>> A lifetime of it for you, it seems :)

 JK> > Over half of my life time, but the better half. (G)

 JK> So I'm a slow starter I guess :)

Slow is better than not doing it at all.
