Hi Hap,

->  HN> just a hot dog ballpark. You can get Salmon,
->  HN> Clam Chowder, fish and chips, steak BBQ ribs,
->  HN> Nachos, Burritos, Gyros, Philly cheesesteaks,
->  HN> Bratwursts, Pizza, and crepes!

-> And, if I recall rightly, garlic fries. (G) I think I'll take a gyro
-> with garlic fries on the side, extra garlic please. Also a diet Coke.

 HN> No coke Pepsi only...and you would not
 HN> want to order extra garlic...there is
 HN> usually a cup or more of garlic LEFT when
 HN> folks eat an order of our garlic fries!

OK, skip the extra garlic and let me smuggle in my own diet Coke. I'll
drink diet pepsi if I can't get the Coke or I'll go with water or tea
but I'm not a fan of pepsi.


->  HN> For family functions like Steve's graduation,
->  HN> a good Italian place is perfect! Even better if
->  HN> they have a room that you can rent for the event,
->  HN> and a "caterer's menu" that you can choose from.

-> I think the place we're thinking of does have a room for parties. I've
-> got to call them tomorrow to make arraingements--and will ask about a
-> limited menu. There'll be about a dozen people so we don't want to
-> overwhelm the cooks with a dozen different orders. Maybe a buffet of 2-3
-> entrees, bread, salad, drinks........................

 HN> The buffet idea sounds good!
 HN> Pasta dish, salad, and dessert!

They said for a group of 12 it would not be a private room (booked
already for bigger group holiday parties) and we'd just order off the
menu. We reserved it for supper the night of graduation, figured that
lunch after the ceremony we could do sandwiches and stuff (soup, chips?)
to go with it. We've got the OK to use our church fellowship hall for
that.

->  HN> Just found out today that there is an
->  HN> event tomorrow and I never even got a request

-> Kid is getting deeper and deeper into hot water.................

 HN> He's gotten the word (grin) I worked
 HN> a 7 hour shift yesterday. There is a
 HN> big car show going on across the street
 HN> and FORD leased the ballpark for folks to
 HN> test drive several (well six) different
 HN> models of their cars..folks come in  and
 HN> get to drive a car (quite slowly) around the
 HN> warning track! How cool is THAT??

Did you get to drive one or just direct traffic? Sounds like it would
have been fun.

->  HN> If we ever move to another house it will
->  HN> be like this one, all on one level..no stairs.

-> We know we won't be here forever but don't know what the next housing
-> will be. If it's 2 story, we know the lift is an option that works.

 HN> It's an option..but I'd still prefer a single story
 HN> just in case.

Fall in love with just the right house and then make accomodations to
fit any physical needs you might have. We've no idea what sort of
housing we'll have after this place but the just right place will open
up.

-> I'd reached the point where I was tired of having the wrist hurt so
-> much. Didn't realize how out of line it was or how much carpal tunnel
-> had set in until it really started bothering me this spring. Saw the
-> ortho doctor again today; he's very happy with the progress. He asked if
-> I was doing any sewing/quilting so I was able to tell him I was, with no
-> pain.

 HN> Great news!!

Still bothers me some to use the chef's knife for prolonged cutting jobs
tho so I take it easy with them. Part of it is the wristt, part from the
incision for the carpal tunnel release. But, even that's improving. And,
my insulin dose was cut to 10 units per day as of my last visit to my
primary care doctor earlier this week.
