=============================
Hi Nancy,

 NB> coming  NB>> in...  I think every family/couple has to work out what's
 NB> best for  NB>> them, both school-wise and income-wise... and
 NB> family-wise...  The  NB>> balance may well be different in each
 NB> instance, but some balance
 NB>  NB>> needs to be set. :)

 RH> Yes, the balance differs from family to family. Some of the young
 RH> wives in our church are part time nannies--good experience to work
 RH> with children before having their own.

 NB> If it doesn't totally turn them off having kids of their own... ;)

Doesn't seem to but at least a couple I know of are fairly newly married
yet.


 RH> (Betty Crocker kid's cook book)
 NB>  RH>>> I ought to grab it next time I'm up and send it to Sarah &
 NB>  RH>>> Audrey.  Sarah is old enough to start using it; she will be 6
 NB> in  RH>> a couple of weeks.
 NB>  NB>>> Hopefully they will treasure it and use it happily.. :)  Mine
 NB>  NB>>> got so much use that it's rather battered now... wouldn't pass
 NB>  NB>>> along too well, unless to someone that could be very gentle
 NB> with  NB>>> it...  :)
 NB>  RH>> I'll have to check the condition of mine. Mom used it almost
 NB> every  RH>> year as Don liked the snow man cake for his January
 NB> birthday.
 NB>  NB>> I bet that page got a bit messier than the rest of the book..
 NB> ;)


 RH> I used the sugar cookie recipe a lot, especially in high school when
 RH> our class had a dance as a fund raiser. I'd then turn around and work a
 RH> shift selling refreshments, including the cookies I'd made, usually
 RH> that afternoon. I'm not sure if Mom got the hot fudge pudding recipe
 RH> from that cook book or her big Betty Crocker book but that was a
 RH> favorite family dessert.

 NB> There's some more chance for well-worn pages...  :)

At least stained from cocoa, butter, or what have you.

 NB>  RH>> Also trying to empty out the freezer a bit to facilitate moving
 NB> it.  NB>> Now that you know that you are moving... :)  You can refill
 NB> it once  NB>> it's properly moved... :)

 RH> Still not 100% guaranteed but closer. And, the freezer is getting
 RH> emptier.

 NB> And if something happens that you don't move, you can fill it then,
 NB> too...  :)  But in the meantime, you can empty it down...  :)

Yes, I did put a chicken and a pound of ground beef in it yesterday.
Also some boneless pork chops, only a couple of meal's worth. Enough
meat for a week or so.


 NB>  RH>> Not short, and not fun. It's been 2 1/2 months since the stroke,
 NB>  RH>> since he's been home. Don't know how much longer he has to go.
 NB>  NB>> Good question.  Hope it all is going well, though.  :)

 RH> Don hasn't updated recently so going on the "no news is good news"
 RH> theory right now. Don't know how the house buying/closing will change
 RH> our potential November travel plans but we'll see, as things progress.

 NB> Things will make themselves more evident as you get closer to time
 NB> anyway...  And yes, if things were going sour down there, you'd more
 NB> likely hear about that sooner than later...

Meanwhile, enough other stuff to keep us busy. Had the baby shower
today; the blanket I made, made a big hit with the other ladies, besides
the mom. I did a veggie/dip tray & got asked how I got the "design" on
the cucumber. Simple--wash it good, then run a fork from one end to the
other, going around the cucumber. Press hard to break the skin. Then
slice the cucumber into about 1/8" rounds.
