Ärende: RE: Leavenworth
=======================
Hi Ruth!
-> 
-> -> -> Have fun and I'll see you when you get back.
-> 
-> ->  hn> You don't have to wait till then! We are in Leavenworth right now,
-> ->  hn> thanks to laptops and wifi, we can still get a fido fix nomatter 
where
-> 
-> 
-> ->  hn> saurbraten...then we had "Oma's caramel apple pie with whipped
-> ->  hn> and a shortbread crust" very very good and worth the carbs !
-> 
-> -> Sounds good to me.
-> 
->  hn> ohhh it was! (grin)
-> 
-> But how much "penance" do you have to do now? (G)
-> 
Oy, you wouldn't believe! I've come down with something flu like, fever and 
gushing from both ends like a geyser...I doubt it's from Leavenworth but it 
certainly is making me feel like Job! I'm on day three now and finally able (so

far) to keep water down! Fever seems to have finally dropped as well so I 
feel good enough to sit at the puter and download email and do fido. but I 
know I'm gonna need to lay down again after this!

-> -> the Hunter one for meats and so on.  One of my favorite things this 
time
-> -> of year is a tomato/onion salad with a vinegarette gressing.  I had it
-> -> once at a place in Frankfurt and found the recipe in one of my German
-> -> cook books.
-> 
->  hn> I like salads and that one is always good!
-> 
-> And simple too.  We bought several varieties of heirloom tomatoes at the
-> Publix market a few weeks ago; they had a much better taste than the
-> usual run of the mill store bought stuff.  I'd like to try them and
-> Vidalia onions in that salad.
-> 
You're in 'mater heaven in the deep south! you can grow all your own and 
enjoy that wonderful taste! We never get to have good maters up here, 
growning season is just too short and not hot enough.
-> 
-> ->  hn> who went to school overseas....and you girls would fit right
-> ->  hn> in...Priscilla Presely is a member, and many of my friends have 
either
-> ->  hn> met or knew
-> ->  hn> her "way back then" .
-> 
-> -> Yes, she was a Wiesbaden High School graduate. And, if our girls hadn't
-> -> been military brats, and David one also, he and Rachel never would have
-> -> met. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Yep, its' an odd little segment of the population. A group of my old
->  hn> schoolmates is going back to Chateauroux this fall for a reunion. I
->  hn> would love to go but the timing is all wrong for us.
-> 
-> Sigh!  One of Steve's high school classmates e-mailed him about a
-> planned get together this week end.  We can't make that but he sent back
-> word we'd be in the area in July and wouldn't mind meeting up with some
-> of them. But for the most part, we rarely have contact with any of our
-> high school classmates (about 150, give or take, between his and my
-> schools).
-> 
At least they are still pretty much in the same area...all my classmates are 
spread hither thither and yon! 

-> -> The next one was a good deal at $39.95.  We just paid $149.00 for our
-> -> third.  But, it's bigger than either of the first two and we could
-> -> afford the bigger/better one now.
-> 
->  hn> Yep, I keep threatening to get a bigger better one...but don't know
->  hn> where I'd put the present one and as long as it keep chugging along I
->  hn> can't see getting rid of it. Tomorrow they are bringing the new washer
->  hn> and dryer...the old dryer finally died after 34 years of solid
->  hn> service...bought it at JC Pennys the first summer we were married!
-> 
-> Don't be surprised if the freezer goes belly up in sympathy.  Four years
-> ago in HI, my sewing machine died on me, got it replaced and bought
-> Steve a much needed lap top over one week end.  The next week, the
-> washing machine tub seal gave way and we had water all over the place!
-> Had to buy a new washer.  I suspect either the dryer (15 years old) or
-> microwave (10) will be the next major replacements.
-> 
We got our new washer/dryer combo yesterday...I gave the guy two tickets 
to the Mariners game on Tuesday 5/15 as a tip as he had to do ALL the work 
and I just hung around the kitchen sink waiting to throw up again. Anne loves 
the new set up with the dryer stacked on top of the washer it gives more 
room in the laundry room.
chat with you soon
