Hi Ruth,

-> Alternative is how we order it--on line.  But we order a case (6 boxes)
-> at a time.
 RH> Amazon sometimes has deals on things like that, and coupons.  It might
 RH> be worth keeping an eye out.

Might, but we've had no problems with ordering it direct from the
company.


->  RH> Ever try agave nectar?  It has a lot less flavor than honey, but

-> Never tried it. Plain yogurt usually gets fruit or jam around here.

 RH> I put jam in mine sometimes, and sometimes the other stuff.  Greek
 RH> yogurt with honey is traditional, but their honey is better than the
 RH> stuff I can usually get.

We usually get the fruited flavors, might check out the honey ones.

->  RH> True.  I haven't done one in ages, although I did have to bake a
 RH> bunch
->  RH> of stuff Friday night.

-> I'm getting caught up with other stuff.  Being gone for almost a week,
-> on short notice, leaves a lot to do the first couple of days home.
-> Supper was stuffed shells (I made) from the freezer and fruit that had
-> carried over the time gone in the fridge.

 RH> Last night's dinner for me was Lean Cuisine.  It was edible.  I got

Bleurgh!  We tried a few of them some years ago.  I'm not even sure I'd
call them edible.

 RH> notice at 5PM that some friends from Pennsylvania were going to be in
 RH> a town about 40 minutes away (highway) for a prayer meeting at 7PM.
 RH> No time to cook.  I changed into better looking clothes, got some
 RH> directions, shoveled grub in my face and cleared out.  They needed me
 RH> - there were six other people, and two of the six lived there.  I
 RH> spent the evening praying and rubbing knots out of backs. That's
 RH> probably why they invited me. :-)

Could be.  Our Wed. night prayer meetings this month have been turned
into getting the new church building ready for moving in. Last night I
helped in the nursery; the first Wed. of the month I taped off door
handles and hinges so they wouldn't get paint on them.  Hoping to move
in by the end of the month.

-> Part of the program here.  Not an easy program but well worth it.

 RH> Sounds like it.

And, a help for me in years to come. Steve started Greek and Theology I
today.

-> Ours will be some chicken we marinaded & smoked earlier this summer,
-> cole slaw to be made tomorrow and whatever else I add to it.  Going to
-> make potato salad (only a single batch) this week too.

 RH> Hmmm, I just remembered that I have the remains of a free jar of
 RH> prefab German Potato Salad dressing in the fridge.  I wonder what that
 RH> would taste like on a green salad....

Hot dressing+greens=wilted lettuce salad.  Good over mashed potatoes.
Tonight we had reubens again, using home smoked pastrami.  This time we
added (on the side) kosher dills and potato chips.

->  RH> a 400+ mile reach, especially at night, so it's no help except to
->  RH> announce that you're headed in the right direction.

-> Not neccessarily if you get skip. (G)

 RH> I've picked up signals from St Louis here in Connecticut, so you never
 RH> know with AM at night.  One of the Connecticut clear channel stations
 RH> gets
 RH> picked up in Sweden sometimes.

We got WWVA down south once that I can recall as a kid.  We've had other
skips but can't recall specific stations.

->  RH> Those were the days of expensive video cameras and cheap cars.

-> Depends on your definition of cheap.  Last cheap new one was the Honda
-> Civic CVCC wagon we bought in 1977 for @ $3,000.

 RH> That's cheap.  It's also more than my last car was worth.

It was a lot for us at the time.  But, we had that car for 9 years, put
135,000+ miles on it before selling it to one of Steve's sisters.
