=============================
Hi Nancy,

 NB> trucks with one of them.  NB>> Few toys are truly gender-specific...
 NB> nothing really to stop kids from  NB>> playing together with all sorts
 NB> of toys... :)

 RH> No but I don't think the boys ever played Barbies with our girls.

 NB> I thought that was why Ken was introduced...  ;)   Seriously, though,

I thought he was introduced only as the requisite teen age boyfriend. GI
Joe was the doll for boys.

 NB> we gave our son dolls and tea sets and kitchen sets, along with the
 NB> trucks and muscle men etc... also blocks and tinker toys and lincoln
 NB> logs etc...

We didn't give our girls trucks or muscle man dolls but they did play
with them when they played with the neighborhood boys. Other than dolls,
most all of what we gave the girls encouraged creative play--blocks,
craft supplies, etc.

 NB>  RH>> No, not at all. One time while we were at Fort Devens (MA),
 NB> Steve took  RH>> me to a Korean place for lunch. All the other "round
 NB> eyes" in there  RH>> were GIs; I was the only spouse.
 NB>  NB>> The rest presumably were GIs that had had tours of duty in Korea
 NB> and  NB>> sought out the food when they came back...?

 RH> As I recall, yes. Probably some of them had Korean wives as well.

 NB> True...  and they might have been going to the Korean place for their
 NB> sake as well...  or instead....  :)

It was a place to get a good meal for a reasonable cost, always
something appreciated on a budget.


 NB>  RH>> In January when we visited the Fort
 NB>  RH>> Huachuca/Sierra Vista area, we went back to the Korean place
 NB> we'd gone  RH>> to in town. Still good meals and enough food for take
 NB> home boxes too.  NB>> Nice.  :)

 RH> Yes, but not quite the hole in the wall places that were all over the
 RH> place in HI. One of them in Mililani Town Center was our usual go to
 RH> place for Korean food, but we did go to others from time to time.

 NB> Yeah... it's easy to get spoiled when you have the very good stuff
 NB> available readily...  :)

We've got to get back to the Korean place in Raleigh some time soon;
tried it once and found it good. Have to figure out when our friends
want to go--they want to try Korean food but with us as guides.
