Hi Nancy,

Yes, a bit of a longer hike but do-able. I'd not do it in bad weather
unless I was out of all veggies and needed to get some. But, I've
usually got some tucked away in the freezer to grab if I don't have
fresh stuff on hand.

We had a cart for a while in Germany. Tipped back to the operating
position, it was just the right height to hit my back side as I pulled
it. I could probably put up with it if I had to; it would be better than
schlepping heavy bags, I guess.

And sometimes just for the exercise? We're going to be cooking again
next month; our "trade off" partner can't do it so I'm mulling over
ideas of what to fix. Most likely the weather will have cooled off so
it'll be something hot and rib sticking.

Revised forecast for Saturday is rainy enough that we might not even get
out of the 40s. Most likely frost Saturday, if not, then definately
Sunday night. I put an extra blanket on our bed when I changed the
sheets.
