Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> corrected... clearly not your typical behaviour...  Did you find
 NB>  NB>> out how the card was compromised...?

 RH> We pretty much figured it was at a car rental place in Las Vegas. It
 RH> was the only place Steve used that credit card on that trip and the
 RH> rental clerk did take it out of our sight at one point.
 RH> Hmmmmmmmmm.........

 NB> Unless it had happened just prior to the trip...  it does seem
 NB> interesting that the thief used the online version of a store that you
 NB> normally visit in person... but if you don't usually use credit there,
 NB> the car rental place does seem a likely suspect...

It was a card we don't use that often, which helped narrow down where it
was used.

 NB>  RH>> Have to check them out--how's your supply of Irish foods?
 NB>  NB>> Sufficient, indubitably... ;)

 RH> Mine is too; the only thing I might go right now for is some Irish
 RH> Breakfast Tea but even that's not vital as our tea selection is quite
 RH> well stocked yet.

 NB> I think one can usually get reasonable versions of that in the grocery
 NB> store, actually...  ;)

Most likely, if not a grocery store, then I'm pretty sure I've seen it
at Cost Plus World Market. Steve likes to get coffee there; every so
often we'll pick up some other things as well. They used to have a small
selection of Hawaiian goodies but seem to have phased it out.


 NB> crossing to the east...  If one went  NB>> all the way to Albany, that
 NB> bridge is free... but then one might
 NB>  NB>> need to take part of the Thruway...  ;)

 RH> I'm not sure how the Taconic Parkway runs as we come into NY from NJ
 RH> when we go up that way. We go directly onto the Thruway from the road
 RH> (forget the number) we're on in NJ. Planning on heading that way next
 RH> month.

 NB> Taconic comes off the end of the Bronx Expressway... It does mean
 NB> driving expressways thru NYC, I guess... But that's where I was
 NB> anyway... ;)

Definately will be avoided by us. Last time we drove south (going to NJ
from the Catskills) we had an interesting view of part of the city after
we got into NJ. Brief, but enough to know we don't want to drive in it.

 NB>  NB>> I suppose the coconut will keep for a while, anyway.... ;)

 RH> It will, maybe he will do something with it tomorrow. Right now he's
 RH> finshing up the front bathroom ceiling--it is de-popcorned and ready
 RH> for painting.

 NB> Always busy... ;)   Has he done anything yet with the coconut...?

Still waiting. Maybe this week will be less hectic.

 NB> priority at present.  NB>> One can always reconsider when the higher
 NB> priority projects are
 NB>  NB>> done... if there are still tomatoes available... and the weather
 NB>  NB>> continues to cooperate...  ;)

 RH> We'll see; they're getting scarcer at the farmer's market. I'd have to
 RH> get a very good price on a good amount to make the sauce worth while.

 NB> Maybe there'll be a crush of them at the very end of the season... ;)

Maybe; I missed the market this week. Steve had a conference and I was
cooking for our church picnic. It was also raining like anything and I
didn't want to schlep bags & an umbrella in it so decided to stay in.
The gluten free, diary free apple crisp and broccoli salad vanished
today, brought home clean dishes.

 NB>  RH>> He only gave me the fabric for one halloween shirt. Actual
 NB>  RH>> construction will start Monday.
 NB>  NB>> He will have it well in advance of the season, then...  :)

 RH> I'm hoping to have it done by later this week or early next week.

 NB> How'd you do...?  (hard to believe that I'm that far behind already...
 NB> but I guess it HAS been a busy week!  [g])

Almost done--just have to do the vents, hem and button holes, then sew
on my label & the buttons. I'll finish it tomorrow.

 NB> :)  RH>> Too much pollen in the air for spring to be my favorite. (G)
 NB>  NB>> You have less trouble with the fall pollens, then...?

 RH> Much less, and no pine pollen.

 NB> I have some slight reaction to stuff all year round... fortunately not
 NB> any strong reactions, usually...

I have some problems year round but spring is the worst.

 NB>  NB>> So you think there won't be much more fruit actually setting
 NB> this  NB>> season...?  So what there is will hopefully have time to
 NB> ripen
 NB>  NB>> fully...?

 RH> We're still getting blossoms tho don't know how many will turn into
 RH> tomatoes. If frost threatens while they're green, I can pick them and
 RH> let them ripen inside, same as my Dad used to (actually, us kids would
 RH> have to do the picking).

 NB> So for now, it's just wait and see...  :)

Yes, and pick as they ripen. We've got 3 nice ones on the solo plant
that should start turning color any day. Might make a nice 'mater
sandwich from them. (G)
