Howdy Ruth!

-> Definately! But, you're on the down side now, if only by a couple of

-> 
Dunno, have not had the first meeting with
the Radiologist yet...sometime in Nov I 
suppose. We've got enough on our plate
right now to keep up with...I just wait
till they tell me "it's time"!

-> I know--and I don't have to worry about a 2 year old taking every moving

Whoa!! No need to start swearing!! Ironing

-> We ended up going to a small chain place called Greek Fiesta. Gyro
-> wasn't as good as some we've had; could have been a lot worse. Main

-> from being wrapped in foil after steaming. They had something called a

-> instead of one type. That was really good. Nothing fancy about the
-> place; reasonably priced and quiet enough we could sit, talk and enjoy
-> each other's company.
->
It was Greek Festival Week last weekend.
We drove by the Greek Orthodox (well the
MAIN one in town) church and there was 
a HUGE traffic jam of folks trying to get
in/out/park/cross the street/etc. We have 
a large Greek population here and they are
very active. We did not stop in as I do my
best to keep Anne OUT of crowd situations,
even if she is wearing a mask. (which makes
eating Baklava hard!!)
 
-> ->  HN> I looked em up...very interesting!  Wonder
-> ->  HN> how well they'd pickle?
-> 
-> -> You can figure it out. (G) They are cute little things, aren't they?
-> 
->  HN> They DO look like tiny watermelons!!
-> 
-> Going to try to find some?
-> 
Not likely...Anne is forbidden from
fresh fruits or veggies for the most
part and I'm sticking with things
that are "tried and true" at this point.
chat with you soon!
