Hi Janis,

 JK> Yeah, kids can sometimes be afraid, or uncomfortable around things
 JK> they haven't been around much.. or haven't seen before.. I saw it with
 JK> my grandson when he was very small and he met up with his first nanny
 JK> goat up close :)

And some just act like they've been around larger animals all their
lives. Deborah was a bit scared of dogs when she was little, until we
got our Bichon Friese.  Pmo-Pom cured her of that fast.  Rachel took a
bit longer to get over her fear; she's just more apprehensive now than
her sister ever has but not really fearful.

 JK> > I may---but I've got a lot of sewing to do ye from what I've got in
 JK> my > stash.

 JK> Understand that one.. it was nice back then to run to Manhatten for
 JK> things like that.

When you weren't quite so worried about the cost of a tank of gas
either.

>> Yep -  Very flashy,  Incredible trumpeter..

 JK> > The "Tonight"show just isn't the same with Jay Leno and Kevin
 JK> whatever > his name is.  I watch a bit every so often--usually Friday

 JK> Yes, it's not the same.. we're not big fans of Jay Leno.. if anything,
 JK> we'll watch Dave Letterman.. or the Discovery Channel.. (grin)

I'll just turn it off and go to bed.


 JK> > Small world.  But then, I've run into folks I've known or have been

 JK> Isn't that funny, when that kind of thing happens?  It doesn't happen
 JK> that often but it does now and again.

Yes, and it's always fun to see what, if any, connection there is.

 JK> Must have been pretty tense for all of you somewhat. :(

Yes, at times it was. But, that's part of keeping the country safe for
the people.

>> Not sure, but I'll ask her.  If it uses dairy, or soy, probably not :)
>> there are SO many things she has to watch.. but I'll check :)

 JK> > It does use them but there are quite a few things in it she could

 JK> They rarely use "recipes" from outside sources any longer.. not like
 JK> most people do, at least.  They really can't.  To many of the
 JK> ingredients are on the "banned" list.  But you should taste the food
 JK> they cook.. it's incredibly good, needless to say.

I do a lot of that too but like to read cook books for ideas. I'll see
an idea and take off on my spin of it.


 JK> When my daughter was little and she and I would be cooking a lot.. and
 JK> we did that a lot together (grin).. we'd be cooking something.. and we
 JK> wouldn't know how it was going to come out because we were improvising
 JK> .. maybe making do with ingedients at hand, or experimenting
 JK> intentionally, or whatever.. we called it "perfume" .. so now when
 JK> people ask my daughter where she gets her recipes from, she tells
 JK> them, "it's just perfume!" :)

Cute. Like we don't get lost, we just "go exploring".  Or, the Monday
Night (can be any night of the week) surprise suppers I've made when the
money has been low but we've had this & that in the larder.
