Hi Hap,

-> Good to hear you're both better. The pine pollen is out; everybody is
-> driving a yellow/green colored car for a few weeks. Steve turned on the
-> AC in ours the other day and a whole bunch of pollen came out before he
-> could put it on recirculate. My eyes were feeling it for a while

->  hn> It was, a very nice quiet day together.
->  hn> Just what we both needed. It's been
->  hn> a good 38 years and now we're happily
->  hn> looking forward to the next 38.

-> Cue the sappy romantic music. (G) We will celebrate #36 in Spetember and
-> feel the same way.

 hn> I'd rather spend time with her than anyone
 hn> else I know...if it's sappy I don't care! (grin)

Plus, she's used to your cooking special for her. No peppers, nothing
hot or spicy. Same way my mom cooks for my dad but neither of them go
for anything hot or spicy.

-> Better that than the 85 we had on Monday. That was much too hot.

 hn> Officially we have not hit 50 yet this April!
 hn> it was 34 F when I got up at 5am!

Definately cooler than we've been. We're almost to the point where there
should be no more danger of frost in this area. Alomst time to get the
tomato plants in.

->  hn> we don't have Lowe's food here...only
->  hn> the home improvement store.
-> We've really appreciated having them here. There's one about 5 minutes
-> from us we shop at quite often.

 hn> We're getting a WinCo about 2 miles away (right near the
 hn> nast Popeye's chicken) and I'm looking
 hn> forward to seeing what they have to
 hn> offer.

I'm sure you will give a eport here for all to read.

->  hn> Finally found my Birth Cert so will get
->  hn> my "enhanced" driver's license!!

-> I presume it's an endorsement on the regular license that lets you drive
-> in Canada on an other than tourist type trip? Or have they tightened the
-> requirements for driving on a US license just for a visit? I've not been
-> to Canada in too many years to even think about--been to Mexico more
-> recently and that was before we went to HI.

 hn> From what I understand it's a bit
 hn> more than an endorsement. it's a whole
 hn> different drivers license. Yes they have
 hn> tightened the restrictions on getting across
 hn> the borders both north and south. You
 hn> can get INTO Canada easy enough..it's
 hn> getting BACK that's the problem! Even
 hn> retired military ID's are not good enough.
 hn> it's either the Passport or one of the enhanced
 hn> drivers license OR the "travel ID card".
 hn> Bunk if you ask me.

Bueaocracy at its finest! We got the passport cards when we appplied for
our new passports in 09. Decided if we wanted to make a day trip over
while in western NY we'd be set. But we keep forgetting to grab them
when we go up. (G)
