Hi Hap,

 HN> Welcome home Ruth!

Good to be back to my usual rat race.

->  hn> wife, mother, you MUST be tired!! (grin)
 HN> ->
-> 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

 HN> I take Anne out once or twice a week...last
 HN> week we went for a ten minute walk for exercise.
 HN> Came home and Anne needed a two hour nap! Still
 HN> she's determined about that ten minute walk!!

Good she felt like walking tho. As she regains strength, it will turn
into a 10 minute nap and a 2 hour walk.

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

 HN> Coming up on 39 for Anne and I.

That's 37 years since he asked the question; celebrated 36 years of
being married last month.

->  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> There are several farmers markets in the area
 HN> (within 30 miles) and several "Craft Fairs"
 HN> every month as well...we seem to have no
 HN> shortage of either one!

Always a good thing. We like to do "local" for Christmas presents and
have gotten components for some at the farmer's market. Other shops in
town carry local goods too so we can get a good assortment of "Made in
NC" products.

->  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.

 HN> Yep, that's the hope!!

I got some bells the other day, meal plans didn't call for any more hot
than what I had on hand already. I think I've got a stray cayenne in the
fridge yet.

-> -> 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> Yup, seems like the years start popping
 HN> by faster as we get older! When I was young
 HN> it seemed like a summer lasted about three
 HN> years...now it seems to be less than
 HN> three months!! (grin)

NC summers are unending it seems. It was in the mid 80s today, will be
again tomorrow and then dive to the mid 60s for daytime highs as a cold
front comes thru.

->  hn> Still is if you're discriminating...in fact
->  hn> one of the channels even has Mr Ed,

-> 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> Nope it's not tvland...something else
 HN> we don't get tvland...

That's the only one I know of but not suprised there's others.


->  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.

 HN> I use Google calender and it automatically
 HN> sync's with my Ipod and when I have an
 HN> appointment or something listed on
 HN> google calender my Ipod will give me
 HN> the alarm!! Very cool!!

Techno pocket calendar. Works just as well. Do they send out reminders?


-> -> 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
 HN> skins
-> -> fried, and something spicy); Pepper seared Medallion of Beef & Half
-> -> Maine Lobster (Potato Gratin, Grilled Lemon Aspargus, Mushroom
 HN> Marsala
-> -> Sauce, Lemon Butter) plus rolls (choice of sourdough or whole wheat);
