Hi Ruth,

-> One of our cats (male) adopted the girl next door; I think his nose was
-> put out of joint with all our fuss over a new baby. When the girl next
-> door got married, we let her keep Ben.

 RH> Cats do that.  I had one for a while named Victor Charles.  When we
 RH> had him fixed, he lit out for his original home.  We think.  He never
 RH> came back.

Took off to wander the world probably. (G)

-> -> Someone was in the Navy during WWII. Steve learned Alpha, Bravo,
-> -> Charlie, Delta instead.

->  RH> Makee sense.  A cat named Delta makes less sense than a cat named
 RH> Dog
->  RH> however, so maybe it was just as well.

-> Could have been named for Delta Burke or after the song "Delta Dawn" if
-> the other 3 names weren't known.

 RH> True, but I think Dog the cat preceded Delta the actress.

Cat was around in the late 60s/early 70s; the actress is older than that
but I don't know when she got her start.

-> Same with where my dad lives. It's beginning to warm up enough that more
-> produce is coming in, just saw the announcement for this week's market.
-> A new cheese vendor will be there so we'll have to check it out.

 RH> ((chomp)) Yep.  Cheese is always worth checking out.

It was, tho a bit on the pricy side. He had maple smoked cheddar, a raw
milk cheddar and a "regular", not very long aged cheddar, with samples
of each. We liked the raw milk one the best & got a half pound.

->  RH> We have a Whole Foods next door, that used to be a health
 RH> food/cheese
->  RH> shop. They have to complete.
 RH> ->
-> Any time you can get an assortment better than the standard cheddar,
-> swiss, monterey jack, etc from a grocery store, it's a good deal.

 RH> Some here do, some don't.

Lowe's has a good assortment in their deli section; we've found some
good buys ther from time to time.

->  RH> True, except that we don't use the attic any more.  Cleaned that
 RH> out.

-> I suspect my brother will try to get my dad to do likewise. He's put out
-> a list of his railroad stock for all of us to lay claim to anything we
-> want. After that, it will go to a dealer & he will work on other parts
-> of the collection.

 RH> We didn't keep much of Dad's.  Mom wanted it out and Dad wasn't around
 RH> to care.

I'm not sure how much of Dad's will remain. Steve asked for the Z guage
layout; it's all we can fit in this place. But, I'm glad he's offering
things to the family first, then what's left will go to outside the
family local interests, then the remainder to a dealer.

-> -> My sweet tooth has been reined in but it's not that far from the
-> -> surface. Only thing that keeps me from letting it loose very often in
-> -> knowing I'd face a super high blood sugar reading a few hours later.

->  RH> That would be a problem.  I try to keep mine under control too,
but it doesn't work very well.

RH> -> -> If you had a wake up call like I did last year, you would keep
it under control too.

 RH> Probably, but not entirely.  The MS doesn't let me.

I do have some sweets, but have cut back quite sharply from what I was
consuming.

Catch you later,
