Hi Ruth,

Interesting.. for us it was kind of the opposite :)  One year my daughter
wanted a perm so I tried it with that type perm... it took two packages to get
it to even give her "a" curl.. Her hair was so straight, and so thick..
meanwhile my hair is so much thinner than hers, I have to watch the timing for
such products carefully.

> Deborah actually looked somewhat like Shirley Temple for a while. (G)

Aw that's must have been so cute :) I bet you have some neat pictures :)

My brother has blond naturally curly hair (still to this day, though there's
some gray there now (g)).. I remember the pictures of him with long ringlets of
blond hair before they cut it :) When he was growing up my dad used to get so
upset with him because my brother refused to use that "greasy kid's hair stuff"
on his blond curly hair. And of course all 4 of my sisters and I looked at his
hair and said, "how did this happen??" Lol

It would seem so.  I saw some of them on google, they look incredible!

I can understand that one.. snow is always preferable to me over ice storms :(

I guess that didn't happen last year?  That's sad.  Maybe budget constraints?

Temperature-wise we dropped down to the low 40's at night now, maybe 50's if
we're lucky during the day.. I guess it's a long time until summer, so I better
get used to it.. (vbg).

Yes, it is so nice having an abundance of fresh herbs. If I have them, I use
them.  I checked today and at least I did freeze a bunch of baggies of Italian
and Greek oregano, lots of parsley, basil and thyme. Not quite the same as out
of the garden fresh but better than dry.  I really liked the Greek oregano.. it
has a hint of lemon that is incredible. I used it in some chicken dishes, that
were great.

Yes, all that as well (grin)  When Nancy was talking about the "boxes under the
window" I believe that was an overflow of books that we didn't want to put in
the basement but weren't ready yet to unpack.  Who knows.. we had so much room
in Windsor and so much less space here in Ithaca (grin).

That's always nice.  Before this move, that's always the way it was for us.
Moving to a smaller place is a little insane sometimes I've learned :)

>> That's neat and probably a nice break... I have to see if I can

Nice :)

> Nice, to be able to do that.

The only hard thing is getting that room which is a dining room to be "the
sewing room" when I'm working on it..  You know, have to move this to put that
there, etc. etc. etc.. argh... it is what it is.  At least I have the room.

>> Yes, I bet they would.

How cool :)

Yep :)

Take care,
Janis
