We've got a lot of veterans locally, and in the state as a whole. We
also have Seymour Johnson SFB, Fort Bragg, Camp Le Jeune, MCASs New
River and Cherry Point...............................

 RH> Me either.  I did get two necklaces assembled tonight though, if not

My jewelry making is on hiatus--did the bably blanket today.  It has
been cold and wet, two good reasons to have a lap full of flannel. (G)

For supper we had some of the left over pulled chicken; I put 6 bags of
it into the freezer earlier but left some out for supper. We sauteed a
bit of onion & red pepper, then added the chicken. Served it on
tortillas warmed in chicken fat, added salsa, cheese and plain Greek
yogurt. Easy to do & clean up from.

 RH> Those accumulate around me whether I want them or not.

I've noticed that over the years. But, now it's time for me to regift
some things I'll never use to others. I'm also going to sit down and sew
up some shirts for me.

We were busy all day Saturday, most of yesterday and a good bit of
today. The LG was small so we had leftovers--some chicken and rolls went
home with the student.

OK, will I remember next time I see her or not? (G) Did ask her about
one thing a while ago and got a fast response--her mind wanders some but
usually comes back home.
