Hi Hap,

-> something at us as we were walking to a bus stop; they were quite taken
-> aback when Steve answered them in perfect German. (G)

 hn> I must say I liked it better when I was there, everyone was
 hn> friendly and happy to see you....except in Spain where Gen
 hn> Franco held sway and NO one was happy.

I know, but, at least we got a chance to go over there.  Afte we came
back, we found out that family members with asthma are no longer able to
go, due to the shortage of medical care after the early 90s major BRAC &
draw down. So, I'm glad we had the time there when we did--got to be in
Berlin when the wall came down & the country re-united.

->  hn> Well actually we have more. Anne's sister who lives here in WA also
->  hn> has the same service and so does her mother in New York. Anne talks

-> OK, sorry, I didn't factor in extended family.  We use Skype with them
-> most of the time.

 hn> We thought about it, but this is free so why add another
 hn> set up when we don't really need to.

I've got a computer geek/guru for a spouse, remember?  Besides, Skype
has been reasonable & allowed both of us to talk to the other party.
We've been using Steve's new phone, on the speaker mode, for that
lately.  Got to talk to Rachel the other day after she sent ultrasound
pictures, letting us know we'll be grandparents again in early October.

-> I know, we've got a nice plan too. Just extended our contract for a
-> couple of years when we got new phones last week.

 hn> My plan could only be better if we could roll the unused minutes
 hn> over into the next month...but since we never use more than
 hn> the allotted minutes we'd soon have massive minutes "on file"!

Sounds like us but have to go with the package of minutes closest to
what we use.

->  hn> Saw a guy on TV who is blue...blue the color not blue the emotion!
->  hn> He took colloidal silver and it turned him bright blue!!

-> Interesting; somebody had suggested (some years ago while we were in
 hn> AZ)
-> that I try it but I never did. I guess this guy can apply to be in one
-> of the Blue Man Groups now. (G)

 hn> Nope, he has hair and a beard...neither of which is blue!

Oh well, maybe he should eat more red cabbage.

-> -> week as well so usually don't have much to do any one day & we keep a
-> -> good supply of clean clothes.

->  hn> Doing it Sunday evening works good for us, I'm usually too
->  hn> busy on Mondays .

-> Sunday evenings after church I usually veg out watching various Food
-> Network shows. During the day Mondays I'm home long enough to sling 2-3
-> loads of laundry between machines.

 hn> Not much on TV on Sundays anymore (sure not like the old days!!),
 hn> so while Anne does a last bit of school work prep, I do laundry.
 hn> Works for us LOL
 hn> Mondays I do errands almost all day!

I like Food Network on Sunday nights, with the remote handy to hit the
mute button for the endless repitition of the most annoying commercials.
We've been watching the new show, "Ultimate Recipe Showdown" and some
look rather interesting.  The winners each week get put on the
TGIFriday's menu--but there's no TGIF's here.  But, they're also posted
on the web site so we may try some of them.
