Ahoy Ruth!

-> ->  hn> Oooh! A Holy Land tour? I did one of those
-> ->  hn> in 1962 when I was 13...Rome->Athens->Beirut->
-> ->  hn> Jerusalem-> Cairo->Rome-> Paris-> Chateauroux (home).
-> 
-> -> BINGO!  This will just be Israel.  All meals are included; hopefully it
-> -> won't be American stuff all the time (or even most of the time) but a
-> -> good bit of authentic to the region type foods.  It's a "fly, motor
-> -> coach, fly home" sort of trip.
-> 
->  hn> Very very worth the effort! Hope you have a
->  hn> great time!
->  hn> take lots of photos!!
-> 
-> Looking forward to it.  I'm sure Steve will take lots of pictures; we're
-> down to one digital camera now.  I might grab it now and then for some
-> shots, or pick up an inexpensive one for myself.

Make sure of a couple of things, one; have enough
memory cards available with you...and batteries!!
Nothing worse than running out and finding that
nothing is available to replace it. If you can get a
camera that uses AA batteries that's a big plus as
you can find them anywhere and/or take a recharger
with you!

-> ->  hn> Yep, a welcome relief after teaching kidlets
-> ->  hn> all day. Fluff reading is undervalued.
-> 
-> -> At least it's better than Harliquin romances. (G)  I'll take "Cat Who"
-> -> books any day above them.
-> 
->  hn> When I was a partner in a bookstore, my partner
->  hn> wanted to cater to the harlequin crowd..which
->  hn> eventually led to the demise of the store as
->  hn> most of the readers only came in with their
->  hn> lists to see if we had any they had not read.
->  hn> Unless we did, they didn't buy anything else!
-> 
-> 
-> Hopefully you kept enough titles (and enough new ones) to keep the
-> customers happy.  I need to make a list of our Veggie Taless DVDs so I
-> don't buy any repeats.  Can't get enough of Larry Boy and Bob the
-> Tomato.  The French Peas are cute too. (G)

Well since my partner had the majority ownership
of the shop, he overruled my suggestions and that
led to the eventual demise of the store and our
partnership. 

-> -> I'm just as happy with the pressure cooker.  I have memories of my 
mom
-> -> trying to peel the pumpkins one year (before she got her freezer)  while
-> 
->  hn> I never peeled them, bake em and scoop
->  hn> out all the "meat" and it's done! Easy peasy!
->  hn> But then again...I never had a pressure cooker!
-> 
-> Back in 1980, when he stated working for the NEX on Cherry Point, Steve
-> got me both a 50 quart and an 8 quart pressure canners.  We used the
-> larger one a number of times but once he went into the Army, I couldn't
-> can as much as I did in civilian life.  Sold the bigger one to somebody
-> in a food services job but kept the smaller one.  Its been all over the
-> place with our moves, and used everywhere.  I wouldn't give it up for
-> anything!  I don't do much pressure cooking but use it mostly for
-> "putting up" times.  It has paid for itself long ago with the use I give
-> it.
-> 
Never had one, never saw a serious
need for one so never missed one! (grin)
chat with you soon!
