I have a couple boxes of books that I have culled from my library as stuff that
I have little or no interest in re-reading. I'll pass these along to a guy I
know from my favourite breakfast spot. What he doesn't read himself will go to
one of the nursing homes for which he does maintenance. The inmates there
appreciate them very much I am told. Now, if I could find someone to take my
several years of Gourmet magazine off my hands ....

 RH> We've closed on the new house but Steve is doing some fix up work

I'm still shopping. I've another to look at this week - the pictures show it's
in need of some carpet and tile work. And the listing shows a need to have the
property reassessed by the tax man. The taxes probably shouldn't be as high as
listed. Even at my advanced years I can chunk a rock far enough to land on the
railroad tracks.  Bv)=

Got to get the stove cleaned (I assume that it came with the house) so you can
make a proper "Welcome Home" meal for yourself and Stephen.

Do you have a Habitat for Humanity in your town? Their ReStore is an excellent
resource for home owners looking for cabinets, doors, appliances, etc.

Are you hiring that done or dragooning students from the seminary/church into
"helping"?

  Wash your hands, thoroughly mix the turkey, bread crumbs,
  apple, parsley and sage into the cooled veg. mixture. Add
  the egg and mix well. Divide the mixture in half and on
  the baking sheet, shape each portion into an oval about
  6 1/2" long, 4" wide and 1 1/2" high.

  Bake for about 45 minutes or until cooked through.

  * Can sub beef for the turkey. Any tart cooking apple
  will work.

  NOTE: In celebration of my Mother's permanent move to
  Florida from New York, (whew, after 36 years, finally!!)
  we will be having this meatloaf which in the past has
  brought in great smiles and full tummies! - Gina Flaco
