 RH>> It was a card we don't use that often, which helped narrow down
 RH>> where it was used.
 NB>> That would make it easier...  :)

 RH> A lot easier in the long run. And, the company was on the ball,
 RH> notifying us right away about it.  Sometimes they've called us when
 RH> we've been travelling and run up more than normal for us type charges
 RH> in a place like LV.

It's good to have a company that pays attention...  :)

 RH> We've used it for Christmas shopping--doing it there is easier than
 RH> doing it here and having to carry everything when we're going out
 RH> for Christmas anyway.

Makes sense... and you can get family input on the fly that way, too,
especially things like sizes and particular grandchild requests... :)
 
 RH>> at Cost Plus World Market. Steve likes to get coffee there; every so
 RH>> often we'll pick up some other things as well. They used to have a
 RH>> small selection of Hawaiian goodies but seem to have phased it out.
 NB>> That sounds a likely place, then...  Maybe they couldn't get the
 NB>> Hawaiian goodies any more under their terms or to meet their
 NB>> requirements...

 RH> I've no idea but it means we have to contact people out in HI (or
 RH> check Amazon) for some things we like to have.
 
That's the trouble with getting used to stuff.. you move, and it's not
so easily accessible anymore...  (G)

 RH>> Definately will be avoided by us. Last time we drove south (going to
 RH>> NJ from the Catskills) we had an interesting view of part of the city
 RH>> after we got into NJ. Brief, but enough to know we don't want to drive
 RH>> in it.
 NB>> It's not actually all that bad... the Beltways of Baltimore and DC are
 NB>> definitely worse, as is anywhere in Boston... ;)  Steve might have
 NB>> some problems with the limited vision, though, I'll grant you...

 RH> We try to avoid the DC/Baltimore area if we're not to Shipps or on up
 RH> to NJ. We'll take the bypass around the western part and on up north.
 RH> In May, we'd been on the bypass about half an hour when my brother
 RH> called, asking if we could go to NJ to pick up some paperwork from my
 RH> aunt. We couldn't, without a major detour, so continued on--turned out,
 RH> the paperwork wasn't that vital after all.

That worked out ok, then... :)

 NB>> coconut...?
 RH>> Still waiting. Maybe this week will be less hectic.
 NB>> We shall see... ;)

 RH> He drilled out the eyes Monday night and when he drained the water, I
 RH> said it didn't look too good. Then he cracked it open and found it
 RH> wasn't good, and had probably started going bad before we bought it.
 RH> We'd had it long enough that it wasn't worth returning so just tossed
 RH> it out.

And probably won't be buying another from the same place, either...?  ;)
 
 RH>> Maybe; I missed the market this week. Steve had a conference and I was
 RH>> cooking for our church picnic. It was also raining like anything and I
 RH>> didn't want to schlep bags & an umbrella in it so decided to stay in.
 NB>> Can't blame you there at all... :)

 RH> Much better for my disposition. (G)
 
I imagine so...!   (G)
 
 RH>> Almost done--just have to do the vents, hem and button holes, then sew
 RH>> on my label & the buttons. I'll finish it tomorrow.
 NB>> Sounds good... :)

 RH> Down to just sewing on the buttons, had other things take up time I
 RH> could have used for that. Maybe tonight after "Jeopardy" I'll get them
 RH> sewn on.

Not enough light to sew them on while watching Jeopardy...?  ;)
 
 RH>> Yes, and pick as they ripen. We've got 3 nice ones on the solo plant
 RH>> that should start turning color any day. Might make a nice 'mater
 RH>> sandwich from them. (G)
 NB>> Yum...  :)

 RH> That, or a nice thick BLT, but not an MLT.

M....?   Mushroom....?

ttyl      neb

... Dogs think they're human.  Cats wouldn't stoop that low.
