=============================
Hey Ruth!

->  HN> Happy Columbus Day Ruth!
-> 
-> Same to you, on the date it was officially for so many years until the
-> government changed it. (G) I was flying home on Monday.
->
Busy Girl these days! Grandma duty, chef, 
seamstress, canning and preserving, schoolgirl,
wife, mother, you MUST be tired!! (grin)
 
-> -> Guy related, that is. Girls remember other things. (G)
-> 
->  HN> Sure, like what song was playing at the
->  HN> resaurant when the appetizers came on the
->  HN> night she got proposed to. We guys never
->  HN> remember that stuff.
-> 
-> Steve proposed, then took me out to dinner. Asked the big question at
-> sunset on the Bogue fishing pier on Emerald Isle. Went to dinner at the
-> A & Francis, where I had oysters for the first time. Went back a year
-> later, then it closed down.
->
It had served it's purpose...and you still
remember all of that!! 
 
-> ->  HN> to see my "pepper guy" at the Olympia
-> ->  HN> Farmer's market once this summer though.
-> 
-> -> Once is better than not at all. You've had much more important things 
to
-> -> deal with this summer than getting to the farmer's market. Is it a year
-> -> round one? If so, maybe you can get there some after Anne finishes her
-> 
->  HN> Nope, it's a true farmer's market, so it
->  HN> will close up in November sometime and
->  HN> reopen next spring. The Pepper Guy leases
-> 
-> Ours closes its every week run at the end of November but will go to
-> first & third Saturdays of the month until first Saturday of April.
->
There is talk of keeping it open longer as
a venue for Christmas shopping, there are
more and more "non farmer" vendors there
each year. 
-> 
->  HN> land in Eastern Washington and has his
->  HN> peppers grown there. You can only get them
->  HN> when he brings in the harvest. All organic,
->  HN> All local (well Eastern Washington local).
-> 
-> Ours are all grown up the road (sort of) from us. As with yours, only
-> available when they're harvested. I can either get pint baskets of one
-> variety for $1.00 or fill a pint with my choices for the same price.
-> Clean & fresh, same as the rest of her produce.
->
I like my pepper guy..he also brings over
other produce from Eastern Washington..but
he loves his peppers best...and so do I! Maybe
next year I'll be getting some again.
 
-> -> second set of fur so he will have a back up. Got 2 of (now) 4 aloha
-> -> shirts done too. If he wants, I'll be able to do those via mail order.
-> 
->  HN> Great Idea! You could open an "Etsy" shop!
-> 
-> I could, but probably won't. Word of mouth, work done for locals only.
-> Makes fittings easier. The only ones I sew for long distance are grand
-> kids. (G) Got to see all 4 this week end at my nephew's wedding.
->
I am guessing they are all doing well?
 
-> -> And a horse is a horse, of course, of course.
-> 
->  HN> Now Wilbuuuurrrrrrr!
-> 
-> Those were the days when it was worth watching tv.
->
Still is if you're discriminating...in fact
one of the channels even has Mr Ed,
Hazel, Dick Van Dyke, and others!
 
-> ->  HN> hap (who has pockets full of
-> ->  HN> things he's "written down")
-> 
-> -> We put it on our fridge. We don't have a Westinghouse; we've got a
-> -> central clearing house. Sometimes when we open the doors, papers go
-> -> flying. Got a couple of heavy duty magnets on one side with all sorts of
-> -> recipies I want to make--some are old favorites, others are new ones I
-> -> want to try out.
-> 
->  HN> We have that same brand! Since Anne's
->  HN> started having three or four appointments
->  HN> a week, I even put up a little whiteboard
->  HN> on the inside of the front door to the
->  HN> house where we write down the week's
->  HN> itinerary! Believe me it HELPS!!
-> 
-> I suspect it would be a good idea to do likewise. I used to go over the
-> week's appointments, etc on the drive home from church Sunday evenings.
-> Now we walk to church & there's no evening service.
->
With so many appointments, treatments,
and such going on we had to put up 
something where we could look at 
the week's "calendar" and double 
check whether we were "free" for
another appointment or not! 
 
-> Menu for the sit down dinner at the wedding was: Tower of Ahi Tuna
-> (forgive the mainlanders, they don't know they're redundant) Poke
-> (Avocado, Cucumber, Green Papaya--plus I think it was thin won ton skins
-> fried, and something spicy); Pepper seared Medallion of Beef & Half
-> Maine Lobster (Potato Gratin, Grilled Lemon Aspargus, Mushroom Marsala
-> Sauce, Lemon Butter) plus rolls (choice of sourdough or whole wheat);
-> Wedding Cake (White Chocolate Raspberry). Robert was the ring bearer &
-> sat beside me at dinner. He and Sarah (flower girl) had fruit cups, then
-> he was given a plate of chicken fingers and fries. A few minutes after
-> I'd been given my roll (I turned away to talk to someone), I noticed it
-> was gone. Robert had helped himself and was enjoying it. I was able to
-> get another one.
-> 
-> 
Man does not live by chicken fingers alone!!
chat with you soon!
