I'm aware of that... having been a POA for someone else...  she made it
totally open-ended... only "expired" when the POA passed to her niece
when she moved down to Arkansas...  :)

 RH> Do have a family talk at one of your get togethers--you might be

We've already been talking..  Started well before Daddy passed... My
brother and I as co-execs decided that we needed to be on the same page
quite a while ago, and by talking things out found that we already were,
more or less..  ;)  And then we started the wider discussions... :)

 RH>> Potato salad was red potatoes cooked, then a cup of (home made)
 RH>> Italian dressing poured on them after draining but while they were
 RH>> still hot, hard boiled egg and dressing of mayo mixed with about a
 RH>> tablespoon or two each of cider vinegar and spicy brown mustard. Got
 RH>> lots of compliments at Life Group today.
 NB>> Sounds pretty yummy...  :)

 RH> It was--forget where I picked up the Italian dressing hint, maybe it
 RH> was here, but that makes quite a differnece in taste. Got asked if
 RH> worchestershire sauce was part of the dressing. (G)

They got you somewhat pegged... ;)  Enough to know that you might have
added any sort of interesting thing... ;)
 
 RH>> Small turn out so I brought some home.
 NB>> So you can enjoy it longer...  :)   I don't mind bringing home
 NB>> leftovers of things we enjoy... as long as it isn't too much to eat
 NB>> in reasonable time... ;)

 RH> Enough for one full serving, and a very small portion each for another
 RH> meal. I could keep a bowl full in the fridge and nibble on it thru the
 RH> week!
 
Potato salad's not quite that popular at this house... ;)  But that was
a manageable amount in any case...  :)
 
 RH>>> Yes, and the ones that need to be monitored, really need the
 RH>>> watching.  It's easy to take your eye off them for a split second
 RH>>> and ruin whatever is being made (speaking from experience).
 NB>>> Learn the hard way... ;)  I tend to not do any of that sort of
 NB>>> thing... too easy to get distracted by something...  ;)
 RH>> I should have known better--and will remember next time that I need to
 RH>> make the sauce first, then do everything else.
 NB>> And you'll have the memory of this time to help you remember... ;)

 RH> Yes, and the not as good as it should have been alfredo. But, it still
 RH> beat the chemical soup sold in jars.

The taste was less affected than the appearance, I guess... :)

... Pessimism is good: one is either proven right or pleasantly surprised.
