Hi Hap,

-> pumpkin pie. He's taking a turkey sandwich to school tomorrow; it's his
-> busy day so he eats lunch up there to save time.

 hn> YUM! We've finished off the ham, and
 hn> I made the veggies into a chicken thigh
 hn> stew that came out really quite good!

We took a break from turkey at supper (had it for lunch) and had quiche
(cheese pie) and steamed broccoli. Steve decided not to take the turkey
sandwich as he had no way to keep it cold so we'll use the meat intended
for that (with more) as part of a "clean out the fridge meal tomorrow
noon.

->  HN> shellbacks but GOLDEN SHELLBACKS, as well as
->  HN> Golden Dragons. A very small and exclusive club
->  HN> indeed!

-> I see; thanks for the knowledge. I should ask my dad if he ever got any
-> of those honors while he was in. Most of his service was during WWII,
-> doubt they took time for ceremonies like that. He was in the Pacific
-> theater, then post war reserve time in the Atlantic Ocean.

 hn> If he was in the Navy, then most likely
 hn> they had the ceremony. If you're not
 hn> already at battle stations, you manage!

I'll ask; he was in some pretty exciting times. Also some times when
they couldn't get a supply ship in--a 3 week spell in late December,
1944 when meals alternated between canned corned beef & spam. He isn't
fond of either of them (or powdered eggs) to this day.

-> Peter Pan syndrome?

 hn> could be some of that...if only
 hn> I could fly!!

I tried it.................................and broke my wrists in the
attempt. Not worth it. (G)

->  HN> We're grateful for each day, no matter what
->  HN> it brings! Each day is a gift...that's why it's
->  HN> called the "PRESENT"! (grin)

-> Very much so. Any day you get is a good one, desite what may happen in
-> it.....you're still alive.

 hn> Yep, it's always best to be on the
 hn> yellow side of the dandelions!

That's for sure!

-> -> As long as something does work, that's the important part.

->  HN> When (A) can't control it add (B), and
->  HN> if that doesn't do it add (C) and so on....

-> OK, as long as she stays this side of Z, she should be fine.

 hn> So far it's worked well....

So far, so good. Doing better this week I presume.

->  HN> think I will make into a soup. It IS soup
->  HN> weather here now very windy and rain blowing
->  HN> almost sideways!!

-> That's hitting us now. Since I only did carrots, celery, mushrooms and
-> cucumbers as veggies, the first 3 will go into stew. Mixed up the cucs
-> with some finely diced onion, a bit of cream, red wine vinegar, oil &
-> S&P for a salad.

 hn> No salads here for a while yet...but
 hn> we are looking forward to them!

And you eat them when you're out without Anne, I presume. I couldn't
have anything that had antioxidants in it, which meant no dark (or any)
chocolate on Valentine's day. Steve made up for it the next year with 3
different forms of chocolate.

->  HN> just for the sake of continuity or not.
->  HN> But I think thats "on the table" for
->  HN> discussion.

-> At this point, anything's likely to be an option.

 hn> Yep, Anne's meeting with her
 hn> principal on Friday...sigh.....

Patience, it's only tomorrow.
