Hi Ruth,

->  RH> At least she's not an adverb!

-> Could be worse but what grade did you learn the parts of speech in?

 RH> I have no memory of learning them, but must have at some point.  I did
 RH> relearn very tenses and the like in 8th and 9th grade French classes
 RH> though, and still have to think about it to translate those terms into
 RH> English.

Yes, this shows the level of learning the kids at Challenger schools
have. I don't think foreign languages are taught but they do learn logic
(starting in, I think kindergarten); middle schoolers learn algebra and
geometry, classes like that. Very rigorous.

->  RH> Oh yeah, that.  I make the sauce but never named it.  It's just the
->  RH> goo that goes in mac'n'cheese.
 RH> ->
-> Could get really picky and call it by its hoity -toity name, bechamel
-> sauce. (G)

 RH> I live my hoity in the toity, these days.  (G)

And my hoity isn't as toity as some folks in this world.

->  RH> Genetically for sure.  I do have some of her personality, but my
->  RH> sister has a lot more.

-> Of me and my 2 sisters, my dad has often said that I'm the most like his
-> mother, mostly in the sewing & cooking areas.

 RH> I don't believe in reincarnation, and grandma died after my sister was
 RH> born, but otherwise I'd have to wonder.  It has to be a genetic thing.

-> Helped tho in 86 while we were in TX. One of my MIL's uncles passed away
-> in Amarillo; we drove up for services. Mid July, no air conditioning, up
-> & back to central TX (good 8-10 hours drive each way). Listening to the
-> radio on the way back, found out that Prince Andrew and Fergie were
-> going to use the same basic wedding ceremony we did--one from the prayer
-> book of Edward the 6th(?)--an old Church of England one.

 RH> I've always said the cost of the wedding often is inversely correlated
 RH> to the success of the marriage.  Just using the right words isn't
 RH> enough.

True; Steve's parents celebrated 61 in December, mine will in July.
We'll hit 36 in September; Rachel and David will have #14 in June.
Steve's older sister and her husband will celebrate #39 this month; his
younger sister #32 in October.

->  RH> Good.  But still ... I'm guessing you're going to make like hungry
->  RH> bears at a salmon run.

-> Steve is; I'm still here in LV/NV; fly out on May 12.

 RH> ...at which point you'll eat anything he missed.

Probably a nice dinner out for the 2 of us will be on the agenda first
tho.

->  RH> Just keep him out of the plumbing and electrical; those can cost

-> He has smarts to do some of it but also to get hold of the experts if
-> it's beyond his expertise.

 RH> Changing out a faucet isn't that hard. Fixing a leaking pipe takes a
 RH> little more know-how.

Main thing about that is knowing where to dig and having the right tools
to deal with the problem. Also making sure water (and probably power as
well) to that area is shut off before starting.
