Hi Carol,

 CS> Hehehe yeah.  And Charlotte ran after tasting!

And Janis's daughter's friend--------that durian had a lot of "good"
reactions. (G)

 CS> I figure we will fine tune that latr as we see who is arriving.  We

 CS>  I wish I could get Tuesday off but i know already that wont happen.

Stranger things have been known to happen............

 CS> Cool!  I may want that (grin).

We can take 3 besides the 2 of us.

 CS> Works for me!

Same here.

 CS> I have to check the smackwater Jacks on that.  The bar *is*.  Solid
 CS> wall. Oddly, may be one of the best sited and suited places.
 CS> Smackwater's is also a combo place with a bar.


You know the area better than we do so go with what works best for the
group.

 CS> For the moment, I come up blank on any food places here close to me

What ethnicity?  We had Swiss/German last night with my parents.  It was
good!
