Hi Carol,

I used to do that but started doing it the other way some years ago. I'm
less likely to forget to grab something on the list (food item mixed in
with non food stuff for example) that way. Also, when Steve was in
Korea, the girls helped me to shop. I'd tear the paper in half, give
them the non food stuff and off they would go with a buggy.  They
usually finished well before I did so I'd give them some food items from
my list to get.  Sometimes they would come back with something they'd
spotted and wanted to try; sometimes I'd let them, other times, not but
they did learn about shopping for themselves that way. Found out Rachel
shops like her dad (slow, reading all the labels) and Deborah is like me
(going for things I've gotten for years, occaisionally reading labels if
I spot something new that looks like it would be worth trying).

He gets crabby otherwise?

Sounds good. I know when you first moved back in, it seemed like you
were going to have to need several years to do as much as you have
already.

No, mom only uses it for an hour or so once a week (to start the weekly
letter) and avoids it like it were a monster out to get her the rest of
the time.

We'll see what I've got left of the jug after Thursday. Need to go on a
clear liquids diet for a day or so before a mediacl test on Friday.

Poor starving puppy! NOT! (G)
