Hi Nancy,

 NB> similar to what I  RH>> make at home, just different enough that Dad
 NB> has a slightly new taste.  NB>> Close enough to his familiar to be
 NB> edible for him... and close enough  NB>> to your regular that it's
 NB> edible for you....  ;)

 RH> Basically, yes. I didn't add any heat as I knew it would not be
 RH> welcomed by Dad.

 NB> You might have been able to sneak a little heat in that he wouldn't
 NB> have noticed in a bad way...  but I don't blame you for leaving it
 NB> out... ;)

Better to be safe than sorry. Dad has had a "techy tummy" over the years
and I didn't want to do anything to set off new problems or add to older
ones.


 NB>  RH>> Steve's class reunions are usually in the summer--but we just
 NB> can't  RH>> quite time the trips around other things that we have to
 NB> be there for,  RH>> and still make the reunion.
 NB>  NB>> That's often the case, when one isn't living close by...  :)

 RH> As has been the case with us, basically, since leaving high school for
 RH> me. Steve stayed closer to home for a few years but moved away the
 RH> year before we got married.

 NB> And been a lot further away some times than others...  ;)

Quite so! I don't remember if his class had a 25th reunion or not but
that was the year he was in Korea. Other times he/we've been all over
the map but not quite that far away.

 NB> got priority.  NB>> Exactly...  one has to balance priorities
 NB> properly...  :)

 RH> Yes, and last year gathering was the last time Steve's folks saw one
 RH> of Dad's old friends before he passed away earlier this year.

 NB> Which helped to reinforce that being the right call, to go to that
 NB> gathering...  :)

Definately! Steve's mom & dad hadn't been to PA since that man's wife
passed away 4 years prior. As is, Mom didn't want to go back there last
summer but afterwards was glad she did. We got the last pictures for the
quilt top at that gathering too.

 NB>  NB>> contact, but it's not at all high on my list of things to
 NB> consider....  NB>>  The above mentioned friend isn't even connected by
 NB> anything
 NB>  NB>> computer... one has to call or write or see in person to contact
 NB>  NB>> her...  :)

 RH> I don't know if my one sister is on it but her older son is (not sure
 RH> about younger son. Other sister is not on but her son is, one brother
 RH> is not on but other one is. I can be contacted thru e-mail (various
 RH> addresses), snail mail, net mail here on fido and the (cell) phone.
 RH> Facebook would take too much time away from other interests, IMO

 NB> I'm with you on that.  :)  I'm likewise contactable... email, snail
 NB> mail, house phone, even the cell phone...

We've not had a house phone since we left HI. I just have to remember to
keep my cell phone handy but out of the way when I'm working in the
kitchen. It stays on the table if I'm working at the stove, using the
mixer or doing dishes.
