=========================
Hi Hap,

-> government changed it. (G) I was flying home on Monday.

 hn> Busy Girl these days! Grandma duty, chef,
 hn> seamstress, canning and preserving, schoolgirl,
 hn> wife, mother, you MUST be tired!! (grin)

Slept in till 10 (!) this morning. I'd not slept too well since before I
left on the trip so this must have been my catch up. Spent a good bit of
today on various things (laundry, groceries, etc) so hopefully am tired
enough to sleep good tonight.

-> -> 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.

 hn> It had served it's purpose...and you still
 hn> remember all of that!!

Yes, and that will be 37 years at the end of next month.


->  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.

 hn> There is talk of keeping it open longer as
 hn> a venue for Christmas shopping, there are
 hn> more and more "non farmer" vendors there
 hn> each year.

We've got some non farmer vendors as well. They tried splitting it into
2 markets last year but there weren't enough crafters to sustain a
separate one. The market also sets up the day before Thanksgiving for
last minute goodies/special ordering for Christmas.

->  HN> land in Eastern Washington and has his
->  HN> peppers grown there. You can only get them

-> 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.

 hn> I like my pepper guy..he also brings over
 hn> other produce from Eastern Washington..but
 hn> he loves his peppers best...and so do I! Maybe
 hn> next year I'll be getting some again.

Hope so, for your sake. It would also mean that Anne would be doing
better if you were able to go more often.


-> 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.

 hn> I am guessing they are all doing well?

Yes, the babies are growing as babies do. One is now 6 months, the other
3 months. Sarah just celebrated her 3rd birthday last Friday; she looked
like a fairy in her flower girl dress & fancy hair-do. Robert will be 8
at the end of November and looded so sharp in his ring bearer tux! All
growing up too fast for me. (G)

->  HN> Now Wilbuuuurrrrrrr!

-> Those were the days when it was worth watching tv.

 hn> Still is if you're discriminating...in fact
 hn> one of the channels even has Mr Ed,
 hn> Hazel, Dick Van Dyke, and others!

TVLand? It's cable, which we don't have nor the time to veg out watching
shows like that (not that we wish we could, just busy enough, it's hard
to make time to).

->  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.

 hn> With so many appointments, treatments,
 hn> and such going on we had to put up
 hn> something where we could look at
 hn> the week's "calendar" and double
 hn> check whether we were "free" for
 hn> another appointment or not!

Do you carry a pocket calendar as well? That helps me keep track of
comings and goings.

-> 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.

 hn> Man does not live by chicken fingers alone!!

Nope, this young man wanted some more carbs and saw a chance to get
some.
