Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I've done that.  I've also bought kosher birds that come
 RH> pre-kashered.

-> You're in a good area to get them.  We aren't smoking the bird this week

 RH> Yep - you can say that again.

But since Steve is in the throes of finals, we will put off cooking our
bird this week end also.  I'll be making a big pot of beef stew
tomorrow; we're feeding our life group again on Sunday.

-> the walnut bowls from the wood turner we'd given a couple of chunks of
-> walnut to this summer after our trip.  Steve's brother was cutting some
-> up to burn but he took Steve to where he'd gotten it from.

 RH> Cool.  Good wood can be hard to get.

This was some black walnut wood. The guy we took it to liked it a lot;
combination of it being from an area that has dramatic differences
between summer & winter and black vs English walnut made for some
interesting grainigs.

-> We had some snow this afternoon--maybe an inch or so.  It's just above
-> freezing right now but supposed to go to about 25 tonight (and tomorrow
-> night).  Winter is coming early.

 RH> I got a few flurries but that's it.  I did however get another face
 RH> full of novocaine from the dentist messing around again.

Not at all fun. We were supposed to hit 43 today (but I don't think we
did) and get as hot as 52 Sunday before going back to 38 for a high on
Monday.  Nice roller coastr weather--good for stews, etc.  We had
Chinese take out beef & broccoli for supper after a long afternoon of
shopping.

-> My dad has them for both ears but doesn't like to use them.  He cranks
-> up the volume on the tv but hits the mute button for commercials.

 RH> That's what Mom does when I'm not home.

And then forgets to turn it down when you're home?  We tolerate it but
it was hard on Sarah and Robert last summer--woke them up at night.


->  RH> I had a dad who treated me like a boy to some extent.
 RH> ->
-> I was a tomboy, not because I was encouraged to be but it was what I was
-> more comfortable in--jeans rather than dresses are still lots more
-> comfortable 99.99999999999% of the time.

 RH> Me too half the time, but I collect jewelry and will wear skirts and
 RH> the whole nine yards.

I don't collect jewelry, just wear it.  The other night I had on a
necklace made of polished stones in shades of brown with small gold
beads between--got some positive comments on it. It came from Israel. I
do dress up from time to time but cold weather means it's dressy slacks
more than skirts.

-> -> can't so we'll get out while the weather is decent.

->  RH> Good idea.  It sounds like a good time wasn't had by all.

-> No, and we've appreciated all the prayers, thoughts, etc of the folks
-> here in the echo.

 RH> It's been that kind of month.  A friend, not much older than I am,
 RH> just had a double mastectomy.

Even a single one of those isn't any picnic. But, it beats what could
happen. Is she going for chemo & radiation?


 She's doing fine, and is looking  RH> forward to her improved swing in
 softball. :-)

I like that attitude!
