Hi Michael,

 RH> The basil died; the others overwintered quite wlll.

 ML> Not a terrific surprise.

We'd put them in rather late and the basil went leggy. The others stayed
small, close to the ground. First hard frost did in the basil.

 ML> Is it possible if worse came to worst to have them frozen
 ML> minimally processed and then finished up later?
 RH> Talked to the one neighbor; she said she would do it for us.

 ML> The best result!

Yes, because she will probably enjoy more fresh ones than we will.


 RH> Suspect Anne misses it when you're not there then.
 ML> I think she's too busy with taking care of him to
 ML> miss anyone.
 RH> I suspect so, but an extra hand with fixing meals is appreciated.

 ML> She and I have been friends, cooking, drinking, and music,
 ML> for decades; I met him through her, when she (no surprise)
 ML> divorced her gay husband and met Billy on a United flight

Quite the "this leads to this which leads to this" chain. (G)

 ML> (also no surprise). Billy and I have gotten on very well and
 ML> have gone through more beer than probably all of the people of
 ML> your acquaintance! When I go down there, I amuse Billy and

away a good amount of beer in one sitting.

 ML> drink beer with him, and we talk about the places he will
 ML> visit when he recovers (there's always hope, and like many of
 ML> my friends but unlike me, he has a life list to check off,
 ML> with stuff such as the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal); but my

Always nice to have dreams. We'd like to go back to some places we've
been to and go visit others for the first time. No "bucket list" like
sky diving tho.

 ML> main role is to do the cooking when Annie is tired and to
 ML> watch thir cats when they have to go to clinic or someplace.

A very important part of their lives when you are there then.
