Hi Hap,

-> That's a help in explaining things. Understanding them, not neccessarily

 hn> He has other "issues" as well, a back injury

 hn> he went to the VA to get it taken care of.
 hn> Way too late to "fix" it so now he's semi

Can't help the former; the latter doesn't sound too great either. (G)

-> I suspect older sisters did so gladly at first but then he took

-> wiser. Just speculation on my part tho.

 hn> Both Anne and her older sister pretty
 hn> much saw through him from the beginning.
 hn> When the youngest sister came along...
 hn> well you can guess that scenario!

Sigh!

-> Update is that they were able to reconnect into the well. Other plumbing
-> work was taken care of as well.

 hn> Yay!

For sure! I will enjoy the cold well water better than the village
water.

 hn> Grandfather had a great big farm and lots of room,
 hn> and lots of kids to both help in the garden and

 hn> in the garden as a little kid.

I did plenty of that too. There were 5 of us kids at home and weeding
was expected of all of us at some stage of out growing up. For years
after the last one left home, Dad would still put in all the garden he
did when all the kids were home. He pretty much stopped doing that 4
years ago when he had the first of some major health issues. He got a
bit of a garden in the next year, then only some container gardening
last year. Don't know what plans he has for this year; I suspect just
more of the container type gardening. He wrote that he's going to get
rid of most all of the glass canning jars as part of the "flood" clean
up. It's not worth my while to have any shipped here; I can get them
brand new, cheaper.

->  keep us kids out...we had a tendency hn>  to knock over a shelf now and
->  then...

-> And all those hours of hot, hard work concentrated into now broken jars.

 hn> and whuppins...we got plenty of whuppins
 hn> for that as well!

No surprise there. (G)

->  hn> If they have Gmail (it's free) and can get a
->  hn> webcam (I think the one I got for Anne cost
->  hn> about $40) they are in like Flynn! Even if you
->  hn> don't have a webcam you can live chat..and

-> I'm not sure what they have, what they can afford.

 hn> Might be a good gift from David and
 hn> the family!

Quite possible; I might suggest it to Rachel.

->  hn> we give each other gifts and things
->  hn> all year long (grin)..

-> We do too but there's a CVS on Steve's route to/from school. I needed
-> him to drop a perscription off anyway so......

 hn> Chocolate is always acceptable!

Helps me breath better too.

 hn> ->
->  hn> Grow your own eggplant!! Cukes!! oooooh 'Maters!!!
 hn> ->
-> Possibly next year, not sure how much we can do this year with our times
-> away already semi set. Maters & peppers as well as herbs but beyond
