Hi Hap,

-> Today was good bye to most of the relatives and baby sitting the grand
-> kids while their mom & dad went to NYC.

 hn> NYC is too crowded for me. I do like
 hn> going into the city just for the museums
 hn> though. Just got home from taking Anne
 hn> to the airport, she's on her way to NY to
 hn> spend the next three weeks helping her
 hn> mom.

I've only been to small parts of it, mostly when I was younger.  The
kids went in to celebrate their anniversary (13 years) without their
kids.  They ate at a street cart vendor's hot dog stand and Gramercy
Tavern, enjoying both meals.

 -> -> Yes,  but it's still nice to know the news so you can start
 planning the next step.

-> hn> Yep, and I'm waiting for  a call back from hn> them to schedule
an appt now.

I'll see it probably later.  I'm trying to catch up after a busy week
with my parents and grand kids.

-> Could be worse; we'll probaably go mid week the next week. We want to
-> visit our church there & give an update on seminary since they gave
-> their OK for us to go.

 hn> Did you need their OK? Are they helping
 hn> with the Tuition? Or offering a job when
 hn> Steve Graduates?

We needed their endorsement as part of Steve's seminary application so
we like to update the congregation every so often.  They aren't helping
with the tuition--the Post 9/11 takes care of that. But by having an
endorsement from a Southern Baptist church, tuition is less than if we
weren't Southern Baptist.  Don't know if we'll have a job offer from
them but it's too soon to think about that as Steve has another 2 1/2
years of school.

We also want to get some wild Georgia shrimp and maybe stop at the
Savannah Candy Company down on River Street while down there.  There's
other favorite "haunts"; maybe we can try to catch a meal at The Lady &
Sons if the line isn't too bad. (G)

-> -> if I happen to have everything on hand, I'll mix ginger ale half and
-> -> half with apple OR grape juice.

 hn> When I was a little kid I loved grape
 hn> juice, and only got it at my paternal
 hn> grandparents house. When I was in
 hn> the navy I'd drink a big can of grapefruit
 hn> juice every day.

We had grape juice occaisionally when I was a kid, instead of orange
juice.  Mom would make us drink it quick, then she would scoop up the
glasses and wash them out so the juice wouldn't stain them.  Didn't get
a chance to really appreciate it then.


->  hn> before buying it again.  It's a treat
->  hn> not a staple for us.

-> OJ is a staple, others are treats. (G)

 hn> treats are nice once in a while.

Yes, and most anything could be a treat.  While we were at my parents,
we got some sparkling flavored water. Robert wanted a taste one night
but didn't like it.  Then Sarah wanted a taste--"mo peas" (more please)
was her reaction.  She liked it a lot more than her brother. (G)


->  hn> told her when it was "just right"! (grin)
->  hn> I cannot imagine my dad standing over
->  hn> a stove......ever!!

-> From what you have said, I can't either. (G)

 hn> Yep,

Catch you later,
