Hello, Ruth.

True and both kitties say hello.  Felix is big enough now to where you might be
surprised; we've him on a diet but he's still plump.  I don't want the little
guy to get diabetes or something.  But he's very, very active-to the point of
being a pain.  He's so intently curious about -everything- that he can't help
himself. :)  Tigger mrrred at me when I petted him.  He seemed disinterested in
my pets while he was slumbering.  However now both kitties have disappeared
into the darkness in the back of the house.

Oh, it's plenty hot here too.  I'd left the VUE parked in an open parking lot
at the VA the other day and my internal temperature gauge said the car was 140
degrees F when I got back to it.  I opened the doors, started the A/C and let
it run for a few minutes.  I have leather seats in the VUE and hate them
immensely as I burn my butt when I sit down after being in the sun but I did
find my windshield sunscreen the other day.

I've been really wanting to mow my yard badly since I have three days off but
the heat and humidity won't let me do it.  My docs have told me that I should
mow in the early AM but I'm usually at work by then (I did tell you I got a
job, right?).

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Peggy's Corn Chowder
 Categories: Soups, Ceideburg, Bacon
      Yield: 1 Servings

    1/2 lb Bacon, diced
      1 md Onion, chopped
    1/2 c  Celery, chopped
      2 tb Flour
      4 c  Milk
     16 oz Can creamed corn
      1 cn Potatoes [Or use cooked,
           -chopped potatoes to taste
           -S.C.]
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/8 ts Pepper
           Parsley
           Paprika

  Here's one I got from a friend many years ago...  I haven't tried it
  for a long time, but it was excellent++good enough for me to get the
  recipe and I wasn't even into cooking at the time.

  Fry the bacon and save 3 tablespoons of the drippings.  Fry onion and
  celery in the drippings until tender.  Blend in flour, stirring until
  bubbly.  Remove from heat and stir in milk.  Heat to boiling point,
  stirring constantly.  Boil and stir for one minute.  Stir in remaining
  ingredients.

  If you feel really racy, dump in a drained can of clams.
