Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> Aside from the fact that Dale and Gail are just plain nice folks
you'd
-> ->  hn> be happy to have for neighbors, they are very easy to get along
with
-> 
-> -> I'd love to have them for neighbors but for the fact we live in
military
-> -> housing. (G)
-> 
->  hn> They'd fit in pretty much anywhere!
-> 
-> Yes but they can't live in military housing since they are not in nor
-> civilian connected (overseas). Military housing does lack the
-> demographic diversification of housing off post; most military families
-> range from 20s to 40s (with a few older or younger). No handy grand
-> parents (or surrigate) for kids to run over to and visit.
-> 

Yep, military housing has some benefits, 
and some drawbacks! One of the big benefits 
is support through common experience. Everyone
is bound by the same circumstances to a great
degree. When I was a kid in South Carolina, we 
lived right outside one of the housing areas
and were in and out of it as much as if we 
lived there. Grin, there were so many holes in
the fence surrounding base housing we kids 
never even considered "inside" and "outside"!
 
-> -> I'm not a morning person either.  I'll have to be on Thursday, got
the
-> -> MRI scheduled for 8:30.  Have to schedule a meeting with the
radiology
-> -> oncologist after that but before the following Wednesday.
-> 
->  hn> Grin, I am a morning person...Anne and Amanda
->  hn> don't seem to share my joy at hopping out of
->  hn> bed and running around the house...but you
->  hn> can't have everything I suppose! They're both
->  hn> pretty great in spite of that failing!
-> 
-> You wouldn't have them any other way. (G)
-> 

Well, I'd *like* it if they were more
enthusiastic and energetic in the 
am! It would make getting out of the
house on excursions much more speedy!

-> ->  hn> We're hoping for just that circumstance, Christmas Break is
still a
-> ->  hn> week off, I'm doing my best to keep her comfy and cautious!
-> 
->  hn> She's ready for the break now (grin) she did NOT
->  hn> wanna get out of bed this morning!
-> 
-> Weather too nasty or just the grind getting to her? She should still be
-> taking it easy; probably should have taught half days for a week or so
-> after her hospitalisation.
-> 

Spending a day in a class with 26 2nd graders who are
wound up for Christmas would make anyone tired!
The closer to the holidays the more zany and 
wired up the kids get (I remember being the 
same way!) and the harder it is to get
them to concentrate on the academic work they
need to be doing! 

-> -> -> Whole grain pasta is always better than the white stuff! (G)  It
has
-> -> -> flavor and texture; the white pasta lacks both.
-> 
-> ->  hn> It's ok, still a new flavor and texture for us, but we're
getting used
-> ->  hn> to it!
-> 
-> -> We've been using it for gee, what, about 31.5 years or so? You'll
adapt
-> -> and wonder why it took so long to try it.
-> 
->  hn> Looking for more options along that line.
-> 
-> Go to a local natural foods store and see what sort of options they
-> have.  We tried one called Ezekiel 4:9 (or some other numbers, can't
-> remember just what) but were less than impressed by it. The spaghetti
-> just fell apart.
-> 

We've tried the bread and it's ok, we 
have a very good couple of natural food
stores with LOTS of options, just taking
time to study them and make decisions.

-> -> Probably.  The cloud situation around here hasn't been the greatest,
-> -> especially rain producing ones.  Sean is outside of Atlanta; they
have
-> -> rather strict water conservation measures in place but we don't yet.
-> -> Having a no major hurricane season 2 years in a row has hurt the
water
-> -> resources of the state--not getting the replenishment they need.
-> 
->  hn> Yeh, I hear it's so dry down there that two trees
->  hn> were seen fighting over a dog!
-> 
-> Our pastor said that it's so bad that the Baptists are baptising by
-> sprinkling, the Methodists are using wet wipes (vs sprinkling) and the
-> Catholics are praying for the wine to be turned into water. (G)
-> 
-> 
Now THATS funny!
chat with you soon
