=====================
Hi Ruth!

-> -> 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.
-> 
->  hn> Make sure of a couple of things, one; have enough
->  hn> memory cards available with you...and batteries!!
->  hn> Nothing worse than running out and finding that
->  hn> nothing is available to replace it. If you can get a
->  hn> camera that uses AA batteries that's a big plus as
->  hn> you can find them anywhere and/or take a recharger
->  hn> with you!
-> 
-> 
-> Good idea; I'll make Steve is aware of all the little details like that.
-> 
Remember to get converters for the different
voltages as well...or do you still have yours from
when you were in Germany? and the round plug 
thingy's too!

-> ->  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)
-> 
->  hn> Well since my partner had the majority ownership
->  hn> of the shop, he overruled my suggestions and that
->  hn> led to the eventual demise of the store and our
->  hn> partnership.
-> 
-> And about all you could do was sigh.
->
One of our former customers started up
a book store under the recommendations I 
made and he and his partner have been
in business for almost 30 years now!
They own two buildings and have a 
great used book business.
 
-> ->  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
-> 
->  hn> Never had one, never saw a serious
->  hn> need for one so never missed one! (grin)
-> 
-> It's useful as a big pot too when you're overseas and don't have your
-> normal kitchen pot & pan collection. (G)
-> 
I used my favorite two words....Thrift store!!
chat with you soon!
