Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> -> It's a step in the right direction anyway. I used a squeeze bottle with
-> -> a saline solution instead of a netti pot. It helped a bit but not enough
-> -> to knock the crud completly out.
-> 
->  hn> We have both, and I use both, have
->  hn> been rinsing several times a day, it really
->  hn> seems to help. In spite of that it has moved
->  hn> "south" a bit and now I'm coughing as well.
-> 
-> Not fun at all; you have my sympathies. I've still got a bit of the
-> cough but overall, not nearly as bad as I was at the beginning of the
-> month.
-> 
It has not been bad, I've been doing
my best to keep from getting too congested.
So far it's working.

-> ->  hn> Tough to do when she's teaching. But this week
-> ->  hn> she's on Spring break, so I do plan on keeping
-> ->  hn> her "entertained" with little day trips and getaways.
-> 
-> -> As long as you don't wear yourself out, or overly stress the knee. No
-> -> standing in long buffet lines!
-> 
->  hn> No buffet's for us, It's our 38th anniversary on
->  hn> Thursday so I'm taking her "north" and we'll
->  hn> have a nice quiet lunch at some special spot.
-> 
-> Sounds like fun. You should get this before you head out so have fun and
-> happy anniversary. Going to take the scenic route up to wherever you're
-> going to eat?
->
We did take the scenic route. Went to
Seattle to a gallery showing where a 
friend from eastern Canada has a 
painting in the exhibition. Then up
into the mountains to an Indian 
Casino for lunch. Long scenic 
drive back home again.
 
-> ->  hn> into April with ease...maybe longer! Daffodils are starting
-> ->  hn> to bloom and spring is busting out all over!
-> 
-> -> We've had spring for several weeks and now a hard freeze warning for
-> -> tonight. There were some snow flurries just north of us this morning
-> -> but it's cleared off again, for a day or two. Steve has covered the
-> -> lettuce and oregano, figures the parsley will need a reseed anyway so
-> -> it's left in the open.
-> 
->  hn> Parsley can take the cold quite well, I
->  hn> think the oregano could as well.
-> 
-> Steve noticed frost on the car but not the ground. Probably good that we
-> covered everything, just in case. Today was cold (mid 40s) and wet; some
-> more rain coming in tomorrow. But, it's supposed to be clear over the
-> week end--just in time for the Farmer's Market change over to the spring
-> to fall weekly schedule. Probably not this week but within a few weeks
-> there should be some tomato plants for sale; I want to get some this
-> year.
-> 
It's been pretty warm here, but rainy.
mid 50's and muggy.

-> -> -> surprise coupons--good for 15% off total meat purchase & 20% off 
total
-> -> -> produce purchase, good thru April 4 (after pay day). Stock up and
->  hn> save.
-> 
-> ->  hn> I like em both ways, but have to say
-> ->  hn> I make the simple dill pickle juice ones
-> ->  hn> the most often...they're dead easy to
-> ->  hn> do and taste sooo good!
-> 
-> -> We'll try them that way if we can find a dill pickle that is worth
-> -> buying.
-> 
->  hn> ALL dill pickles are worth buying!
->  hn> A good garlic dill or Kosher dill would
->  hn> be great for the eggs!
-> 
-> I don't want any pickles with HFCS in them. Wickle's sold out; when we
-> first got them a couple of years ago, they were made with sugar. Now
-> they're using HFCS in the pickles and pickle relish. We have taken them
-> off our "buy" list.
->
Dang it!! Just had to go and check all my 
pickle jars!! Nalley's has no sugar at all.
Farman's (three different jars all dill) all
have sugar listed but it's way down on 
the ingredient list...thank goodness no
HFCS! I've written to Lea &Perrins that 
I'm no longer going to use their 
wochestershire sauce because it is 
now an ingredient...didn't wanna have
to give up my pickles too! When I get
my enhanced Drivers license I can
go to Canada and get Worchestershire
sauce there...where HFCS ain't allowed!
 
chat with you soon!
