==========================
Hey Ruth!

-> 
->  hn> missing Hawaii for the oddest reasons, the tradewinds not being the
->  hn> least of them....Paradise Lost!
-> 
-> No trade winds, no small Korean bbq places, lots of things to miss about
-> the state.  No palm trees doing the hula in high winds, as one of the
-> weather forcasters always said.
-> 
We have plenty of Korean places here, I miss being able to order chili and
rice in the restaurants and portugese sausage, Kailua pork, surfing (I
really always miss surfing), and the trades, One of the houses I lived in
in Haleiwa didn't even have glass in the windows (and they were 10 feet
high too!) and the trades kept the house cool on even the hottest days!
-> 
-> -> I don't recall the brand of the dishwasher in this set of quarters
(It's
-> -> an energy efficient model.) but it's the quietest one we've ever had.
-> 
->  hn> Our dishwasher is very energy efficient....but it's not very
quiet...I
->  hn> tend to grumble a lot when I'm doing the dishes (grin)!
-> 
-> I load as many as I can into the dishwasher--saves my wrists and feet.
->
I just grumble and get to it (grin)

-> 
-> -> I realised a few days ago that Steve and I are going back to some of
the
-> -> things we tried to or wanted to do before he went into the Army.  We
-> -> wanted (but couldn't afford) a grain mill then (got it now); I used
to
-> -> can, up up my own jams, etc (beginning to get back into that); I've
-> -> always made our bread either by hand or now machine; and so on. Semi
-> -> "back to the land" sort of stuff.  We aren't totally "green" but
-> 
->  hn> We used to do all of that as well (grin) but with the low carb diet
->  hn> the bread went away...with our lessened sugar intake most of the
->  hn> canning went. When Amanda was young most of our back yard was
veggie
->  hn> garden...but when
-> 
-> We can't have a low carb diet with Steve's heritage--he has to have his
-> Italian food, pasta, pizza, etc.  We've cut way back on the sugar but
-> not totally eliminated it.  I'd like to have a veggie garden but we're
-> not going to be here long enough to make tearing up & replacing the back
-> yard a reality for one year's worth of garden.
-> 
We have moved to a whole grain (more complex carbs at least) pasta that's
not bad once you get used to it...

->  hn> Anne went back into teaching and Amanda got invovled with after
school
->  hn> activities our time became such that the garden never got started
->  hn> until mid july....simply too late for effective use. We have always
-> 
-> My dad put in peas before his surgery; last week he put in a few tomato
-> plants (no major digging done).  His gardening days are getting fewer
-> and fewer.
-> 
->  hn> been "mostly" green, we've always recycled, reused, and reinvented
->  hn> when we could.
-> 
-> Same here.
-> 
Always made sense to us...and it saved money too!
chat with you soon
