====================
Hi Ruth,

->  RH> We're about to get whomped with that.  Up to 8 inches.

-> It appears we're escaping the snow but will have some rather cold
-> temperatures. Tomorrow is supposed to have a high only in the low 30s,
-> Monday/Tuesday of next week may not even be that warm. Time to make sure
-> the pantry is stocked; we're going grocery (and fabric) shopping
-> tomorrow.

 RH> We didn't break 10 at least once.  Nashville got temps in the teens
 RH> too, one
 RH> day.  Froze those poor Southerners solid. I didn't think a daily high
 RH> of 15 was all that bad.

Don't recall what our high was on Tuesday but low was 9. I think it was
in the low 30s but had other things on my mind so didn't really pay
attention to what it was.

->  RH> Quite likely.  After last month I'll be eating more popcorn than
->  RH> cookies, hands down.  My brother in-law loves key lime pie.  I make
->  RH> one once in a while, when key limes are in season.

-> This was the first key lime pie we've had in several years. It's high in
-> sugar so I wouldn't have gone for a whole piece, splitting it kept my
-> blood glucose reading at a sensible level. The protein of the shrimp
-> helped counter balance the sugar.

 RH> It's not my personal favorite, but it's a family thing.  The version I
 RH> do doesn't have the milk in it, a must since by BIL has lactose
 RH> intolerance.

OK, I know Uncle Bubba's version does have condensed milk in it.

->  RH> Mostly.  Sometimes not.  It depends on how dumb I get.

-> I've had a few brief spells of sore muscles--trying to reorganise my
-> sewing room a bit. I'm trying to get things in place for upcoming
-> projects and do a bit of clean & sort at the same time. Fun, especially
-> with projects in progress that are in various places in the room.

 RH> Try number legs in my case, and wobblier. Sore muscles don't mean much
 RH> to me, frankly; something's always sore.

I know, these are muscles that generally don't get sore as I'm not
supposed to do any heavy lifting. Other parts of the body experience
more constant hurt.

->  RH> Exactly.  Add in an idjut not realizing that the all-wheel drive is
->  RH> not all wheel stop and proceed to a mess.

-> I saw several pictures on tonight's news showing good examples of that.
-> More to come over the next few days--stay home with your hot cocoa and
-> marshmallows.

 RH> Nahhh - we're more used to it here. I drive in snow fairly often as
 RH> long as it isn't going to really pile up.  Ice keeps me home, after
 RH> doing a few too many donuts on it in the past.

Not the kind of doughnuts you like to have--they're inedible anyway.

... Is this a Kodak moment or a Maalox moment?
