Sure does though not sure how quirky it is (g)  I guess they just didn't like
fatty meats at all.

Mom never like coffee much I think.

If I'm really tired at night and still have work to do, I'll have a cup of
coffee as long as it's before 9pm.. after that it bothers my sleeping.

I can understand that.

That sounds like a nice one.

Understand.. life gets crazy here sometimes as well.  This week my daughter's
son leaves for college (I'm still in shock over that (g)) so we'll be keeping
his younger brothers over here while my daughter works and gets him set up.

Yes, over here it would have worked better if some of the lower cabinets were
conventional cabinets.

Yep, that's the fun for sure.  You know what sizes and heights, etc. you need.

Take care,
