 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... ;)

 RH> Doesn't seem to but at least a couple I know of are fairly newly
 RH> married yet.
 
So the truth hasn't had time to out, yet... :)  I spent one summer
during my college years taking care of two VERY spoiled kids... good
thing I'd had enough experience with taking care of other children
first, or it might well have deterred...  ;) 

 RH> (Betty Crocker kid's cook book)
 RH>>> I'll have to check the condition of mine. Mom used it almost
 RH>>> every year as Don liked the snow man cake for his January
 RH>>> birthday.
 NB>>> I bet that page got a bit messier than the rest of the book.. ;)
 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...  :)

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

Yup.  Exactly...  :)

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

 RH> Yes, I did put a chicken and a pound of ground beef in it yesterday.
 RH> Also some boneless pork chops, only a couple of meal's worth. Enough
 RH> meat for a week or so.
 
Not enough to fill the freezer, just to make sure that the meat stays
good until you have a chance to use it... :)

 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...

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

No wondering about how people discover your talents and abilities...  ;)
