Hi Carol,

 CS> Dumb folks, jars are cheap!  You accumulate them no matter what unless
 CS> you toss them out anyways.

 RH> Yes, you and I are in that mind set but other who don't move as often
 RH> tend to accumulate jars and such like.  I keep a few (for fridge
 RH> stock, grease jar, etc) but most hit the recycle bag.

 CS> (jars to keep stuff in, spices)
 CS> Well, within 6 months easy I will have so many jars, I'll be picking
 CS> out which are pretty to keep.

Yes, I've go a couple of "pretty, just for keeps" ones too. Too small an
opening for use as spice jars; they had a bit of maple syrup in them
originally.


 RH> Sounds like she's settling in pretty well.  It probably helps that
 RH> it's not an entirely new set of class mates as she knew some of them

 CS> Yes, but that was grade 1 so it's a bit of a distance. Still, 3 of her
 CS> tablemates at lunch were in that same bunch back then.

Civilian kids or Navy that stayed in place (or went and returned)?

 CS> Bridge road and went the wrong way so showed Charlotte the beach for a

 RH> How does the beach there differ from the one in Japan?

 CS> A beach is a beach.  The nearby ones in Japan didnt have much white
 CS> sand and the Virginia Beach waterfront has loads as a tourist place

 RH> I've seen big wide white beaches and small narrow rocky beaches; each
 RH> is unique unto it'self.  We were spoiled by the clear ocean waters in
 RH> HI; here on the east coast it's grey/green and grubby.

 CS> This one is a vacation spot so lots of white sand.  I think they bring
 CS> some of it in on trucks or something.

Could be.  I know there's talk that Typee Island beaches need
renourishment but I'm not sure how they intend to do so.


 CS> Too bad we live so far away.  It would be funny to do a combined
 CS> retirement!

 RH> That would be fun; Steve has gone to a number of Army ones and they
 RH> are cut & dried boring.  The Navy one was fun.

 CS> We tend to a few little fun tricks!

 RH> Maybe we can at least participate in each other's. Depends on how soon
 RH> after we retire that we leave the area (know we will have to be out of
 RH> post housing ASAP).

 CS> Might be!  Hard to tell just now.

Yes, we'll know better by this time next year.
