Hi Ruth!

Glad to hear about the excellent report :)

Better to be careful I would think.

Yes, it's been up and down the last several days.. literally.. Finally this
evening some relatively good news.. It has been determined that she has an
obstruction in small intestine, so the doctor is going to try to solve the
problem with a liquid diet rather than surgery (best news I've heard all week
(g)).  Believe me, there were a few times when all of us thought the worst
given the info we were getting (really aggravating..) Well, things are looking
up now thank goodness.

Yeah, it's bad. And because I was on this wonderful drug at the time, (which
the doc took me off, thank goodness)  the combination of the drug and the heat
made it impossible to walk at all.. literallly.. :( By the time I got to
Cornell/Med. Center NYHosp. I was quite a mess. I call that a sucessful visit
if I can off a nasty drug (bg).

You pretty much have to these days..

That is something :)

Could be.. I remember there was a cork they gave you to plug that hole, but I
lost it long long ago ... no doubt so did your mom.. Maybe I used a different
cork last summer, but I don't remember doing that.

I don't freeze it in the container I make it in because it would be awkward..
the cylander for the wooden bucket is very very long, and the other ice cream
maker probably container really can't be sealed. So, no big deal, I always have
another tub to move it into.. works for me (g).  With the wooden bucket maker,
you don't see so much of the crystal stuff.. unless the ice cream melts and
re-freezes.. but I'll try your idea and see if it makes a difference. Could
help :)

Pretty cool :)

Agree there :)

hahahahahaha that is so true :)

Well, I got the chinese cabbage in, the cold wave gave in to the heat wave, the
seedlings didn't make it ... and I've been busy...so I think I purchase some
chinese cabbage :) :)  My cukes are coming up though.. so that something..
aggraving year for the garden, but there's still quite a bit of summer to go
yet..

Take care,
Janis
