Hi Janis,

 JK> Yep... and Spring is a busy time of year anyway...  Just what the sun
 JK> shows you around the place that can make you aghast haha  I looked at
 JK> my swivel rockers and thought wow, when did we get those?? (g).. so
 JK> eventually I'll be recovering them ... maybe that would be a good job

Sounds more like a winter job than a spring/summer one.  Or, just buy a
slip cover for now. (G)

 JK> > Sounds good to me.  Got your freezer stocked so you won't have to

 JK> Typically when I'm working on something like that, I'll just make
 JK> quick meals.. like clam sauce and linguine (15 min. sauce, 10 min
 JK> linguine, pesto (5 min. pesto, 10 min. linguine). etc.. there are a
 JK> number of things that go pretty fast :) I count a dinner as being
 JK> 'kind of fast' if I can get it put together in less than an hour...
 JK> that's really not a long time... to me anyhow.. :) :)


No, not really. Rachael Ray does it in 30 minutes. (G) An hour is
reasonable timing for most times, other times you may want to fuss more
and take longer.

 JK> > Both wrists and the elbow have plates and screws in them; I carry a

 JK> detectors.

 JK> ouch!!!  That sounds so painful!   and yeah, I bet you set them off
 JK> like crazy!

Sometimes more than others.  Yes, they do hurt, mostly the left one but
I can use them.  The therapist that worked with me on the elbow said
that very few cases recover over 50% range of motion; I've got about
90-95%.

 JK> using > some of the big tools. (G)

 JK> No fair! :)  That sounds like too much fun in school :)

It was fun.  Trouble is, now, the silver ring I made then is too big for
my finger now.

>> occasion.. but not that often.  Most times we drink our tea straight

 JK> > I've GOT(!) to have some sweetener in my tea, especially if it's the

 JK> Heheh.. Nope, not here.. we keep it around of course, but the only
 JK> time you'll see honey in our tea is if we're sick with a cold/sore

We have both on hand as Steve prefers honey in his tea.

>> It's basic black tea, yes.. very flavorful.. it's really good.
 JK> > I may snag some from you and give it a try when we come up in July.

 JK> No problem... I just ordered a ton of boxes from Amazo. It's cheaper
 JK> to buy it in bulk that way.

I know; I've got to get some Good Earth Original on the 'net.  The
Original they sell in stores now has some artificial flavor.  I'd rather
have it without.

 JK> > Sounds like you and Carol are both having remodeling fun.

 JK> What I really want to do is find out if this house has a fireplace
 JK> buried in it somewhere! :)  I just can't believe that there isn't a
 JK> single one anywhere...

Gee, the fun we could have looking.............(G)
