Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> -> 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.
->
Today was her birthday. Took her out
for breakfast...lunch was a huge cone at
Coldstone Creamery, and dinner at a 
classy upscale Italian place. 
No cooking for me today!!
 
-> -> 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.
->
Yesterday was our Home Opening day. 
got up to about 53 or so...but as soon 
as the sun set it got cold and a half in 
the ballpark!!
 
-> ->  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.
->
If they ever get the thing OPEN!!
 
-> ->  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)
-> 
Have not found the time to get to the 
DMV for the new "enhancement" for the 
license...will cost an additional $15 for it.
Still bunk I say!!
chat with you soon!
