Hi Janis,

I was able to join a co-op when we lived in NC before Steve went into
the Army.  For $5.00, I had a lifetime membership.  I ought to see if
it's still going. (G)  Anyway, ordering flour, yeast, and suchlike in
bulk helped keep the cost down.

 JK> I don't think we ever had slide shows.. can't remember any at least :)

Dad took a lot of those on vacations--easier to show and store than
prints.

 JK> > Dad had some put on VHS some years back, no editing that I know of.

 JK> I think the editing was done because there was soooooo much material.

(G) We had a lot of occaisions filmed too--but not church Christmas
programs and such like.  Mostly birthdays and Christmas, trips, etc.

Steve is sometimes the "instigator" of differnt, new, et to try.

We're having one now, another on the way.

The fun of puppies. (G)

Smart move not to freeze. (G)

 JK> Yes, at the healthfood store, and it's also at Weis food stores. I

Yes, that's a big factor there.

 JK> Hope you are able to enter it in the fair and here's a wish of good

Right now, it's TBD--if I can get it quilted in time.
