Hi Nancy,

 NB> day.  RH>> Steve wanted to try out the rostisserie he'd bought for the
 NB> new grill.  NB>> And did it work out well...?

 RH> Quite well, and another one will probably be purchased in the very
 RH> near future. Clean forgot about it at Lowe's today as it was our last
 RH> stop (of a busy day) so maybe next week we'll pick one up.

 NB> If it was really critical, you'd probably have managed to remember
 NB> it... now you just have something to look forward to another day...
 NB> :)

We got one on Saturday and it's half gone already.


 NB>  NB>> Some bargains are just too good (and timely) to pass up... ;)

 RH> Agreed on that one! Got some local blueberries at Aldi's for
 RH> $1.99/pint; Lowe's had them 2/$7.00.

 NB> That's a pretty good deal... were they nice and sweet...?

Quite so, and most of them are now frozen.

 NB> think I finally want to use it,  NB>> and happen to present it for
 NB> payment...  Of course, they quickly open  NB>> a new account for you,
 NB> there and then...

 RH> No great problem for us since we have other cards we could use. Got
 RH> this one when Steve was fairly new to the Army, trying to build up a
 RH> good credit history.

 NB> Store cards can be a good way to build up a credit history...
 NB> especially back then, when they were pushing them on just about anyone
 NB> that walked in the door... As long as you were responsible with them,
 NB> you'd easily
 NB> establish a good credit history...  :)

We had to keep a good credit history for Steve to keep his security
clearance at the level he needed it to be. That's not an issue any more
but we still keep a good credit history; it helped when we bought the
house.


 NB>  RH>> Did do some shopping at Belk's and Macy's, plus Thai at the food
 NB> court  RH>> for supper.
 NB>  NB>> That sounds nice...  :)

 RH> It was; we had enough food to take home left overs for lunch the next
 RH> day.

 NB> I've always enjoyed Thai leftovers...  :)

They weren't as spicy, reheated.

 NB> extra sharp cheddar  RH>> and some (store bought) Moravian ginger
 NB> cookies. They furnished
 NB>  RH>> condiments, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips. We left what was not
 NB> eaten of  RH>> the cheese (about half the block) and a half sleeve of
 NB> the cookies,  RH>> brought home some pint canning jars. Nice way to
 NB> spend part of a Sunday  RH>> afternoon.
 NB>  NB>> Definitely a nice way... sharing food and fellowship... :)

 RH> The kids enjoy it too; they get more one on one attention from grown
 RH> ups that they are comfortable with. The baby is only 7 months old so
 RH> she isn't aware of it yet but the older ones do. The oldest one "read"
 RH> me a book; I think she had it memorised but didn't let on. (G)

 NB> This wasn't the family that's gone mostly lactose and gluten free is

It is; they moved to WF for him to go to seminary 5 years ago, with one
child, another on the way. Dad has finished his master's and is working
on a doctorate now, with 4 kids.

 NB> it...?  And you never know on the reading... I was actually reading at
 NB> age 4... Sometimes it's just having memorized it from having it read
 NB> to one many many times, though, true... :)

That's what this appeared to be, from the way she approached it.
