Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I think we got 2-3 inches total.

-> It was pretty well fizzled out by the time it got to you but that's
-> still a good amount of rain for one storm. We've had showers off & on
-> today & will probably the rest of the week.

 RH> We have flood warnings up all over; another inch is on the way.

And, major thunderstorm warnings again for us, as i'm typing. Don't know
how much rain is expected but it's part of the system that's been going
cross country.

->  RH> I haven't even seen our local market yet; it's always open when I
->  RH> can't get there, when it's open.  I did get a bunch of free stuff

-> When is it open/what's your conflict?

 RH> Saturday mornings - that's when I'm generally working.  Unless I'm
 RH> rained out in which case the market is too.

Working as in going to yard sales & all? Swing by the farmer's market on
your wanderings. Ours is open unless it's really raining hard, heavy &
steady, with strong winds.

->  RH> Saturday though, including some envelopes for all those cards I've

-> Should take care of you for the rest of the year, maybe. (G)

 RH> Maybe.(LOL)

I know, some things don't last long at all.

-> RH> for a while.  My friends made out
->  RH> like bandits, as did my sister.

-> As in?

 RH> My sister got a pile of expensive new-to-her office attire, and
 RH> friends got knitting yarn, golf shirts, etc.  I even found a really
 RH> expensive gray suit that alas was the wrong size.  On the other hand,
 RH> for free it was a good gamble.  It'll go into my church's clothes
 RH> closet on Saturday where someone who needs a suit will luck out.  Full
 RH> retail on that brand is around $1500 for a new one. I think the suit
 RH> was a 43 reg or close enough.

Steve generally goes for a 38 long; he picked up several suits over the
past few months at the Sharing Shop. Most have needed some sort of
alteration in the trousers but I can handle it; I've one more to do,
after he gets out of the brace. I've picked up some jackets to combine
with dress slacks & shirts already in my wardrobe.

->  RH> We like coupons.  We like discounts.  We like batteries that don't
 RH> die at inopportune times even better.

-> Better now than on our travels. We sort of knew the battery was dying
-> but sort of expected it to last a bit longer than it did. I got the
-> produce and some exercise in but eggs had sold out fast. Had to get some
-> at the grocery store.

 RH> Drat.  Better luck next time.

I know, sigh! But, it's not as if they're not available at all. Go into
most any grocery store on the Friday/Saturday before Easter and try to
find a carton of eggs--almost impossible.
