Hi Ruth,

Well, we got moved over to the new place. Still some stuff in the
storage unit and it looks like a tornado struck here, but we're in. Lots
of "our touches" to do to make it personal, even more boxes to unpack
and put away but the pantry and freezer are stocked.

Trying to remind you who's boss.

Had she ever made the pie, maybe years ago, not even in your life time?

Fun! Steve is dealing with a leaky shower head. Our Jenny-cat used to
like drinking from running water but we gradually broke her of the
habit. Her favorite sink (in Berlin) was the main bathroom one--she
could drive you nuts running in every few minutes to turn the water on.
She eventually accepted a paper cup of water set on the sink.

Gladly! Enough to keep me busy otherwise.

How old is that machine? Even the first microwave I got in 1984 had more
settings than that!

No, you don't. They could have had a parent connected to American troops
over there.

Don't know if this one did or not, not that it matters to me. OTOH, it
matters a lot to one of my sisters.
