Hi Hap,

-> perspective, etc.  But, you've got the most important part down; you're
-> having fun.  We've still got a water color that Steve did when he was
-> going to a community college in NC--and realised that it's work to
-> create a painting that looks good.

 HN> I enjoy it, and have fun doing it, and that's what matters to me.
 HN> Composition and perspective and all my photo skills are helpful, but
 HN> getting water and paint  to behave takes lots of practice and
 HN> patience..and I don't take myself too seriously about it. Right now I

Now you know why artists charge so much for their work--it is work
making the paint go where you want it to. (G) Steve still has a few
watercolors, brushes, etc but I don't think he's touched them except to
move them in years.

 HN> am making (in the design phase) Christmas cards ( did the same for the
 HN> last two years) as everyone who gets one seems to like them. Right now
 HN> I am sketching out
 HN> ideas for Anne to review.

Sounds like a nice idea to me.  Always good to run ideas past another
set of eyes before executing the final product.  I've got to sketch out
how I want the Double Wedding Ring quilt quilted; I've got specific
ideas for some areas of it.

->  HN> The pork came out good though, dry rubbed and roasted low and slow

-> Low and slow is the best way to cook pork or beef most of the time.

 HN> It sure is in my house! When I have to run off before the cooking's
 HN> done it's good to have it so that whenever Anne gets home to it, it
 HN> won't be charcoal.

I did it with beef (in the crockpot) all the time when we were in
Germany; it really tenderised the grass fed beef we got over there. It
also worked well with the elk my MIL brought over one year.

-> Went to Golden Corral for the buffet.  Nothing spectacular but filling
-> and I didn't have to cook/clean up.

 HN> I went to the AMVETS last night, one of my old co-workers invited me
 HN> to a poker tournament they have every week, a nice get together and it
 HN> was good to see him. Nice tourney, and a good fundraiser for the
 HN> AMVETS post. Didn't win anything but had a good time fro not much
 HN> money!

That's the idea--have fun, spend not too much money but raise money for
a good cause.

-> -> mastectomy.  One is over kill, one will forever leave questions and
 HN> one
-> -> will be a 99.99% sure all is gotten that needs getting.

->  HN> Keep us posted and know we're rooting for you!

-> I'll do that.  I'm seeing the surgeon once a week now so will go back on
-> Friday.  Will let him know of our decision, then get it scheduled, done
-> and over with.  He feels I should be able to go see our kids over
-> Christmas.

 HN> Make sure you get on a frequent flyer program!

We are already with Hawaiian and I think Steve has a United card.  He
had to go with Delta for this TDY tho.  He called last night; they'd
gone to a Ruth Crist's for supper.  Said he'd have to take me to one
sometime.
