==========================
Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Very short now; we packed out last week.  The laptop stayed, sittig on
-> 
->  hn> Oh I remember those days, and hated them as a dependent...all the 
toys
->  hn> are gone except for a very few, and nothing to do till travel time.
-> 
-> I never went thru that; the only move my parents made after they landed
-> in Margaretville was (diagonally) across the street (country road) from
-> a rental house to one my dad built. I was only 3 1/2 at the time; my
-> parents sent me, my little sister and older brother to a neighbor's
-> house for the day.  Little brother was born a few days later.  But, as
-> an adult, I've moved enough to know I need to hold out something to keep
-> me busy.  This time I grabbed some sewing (hand and machine) and
-> borrowed some books & a sewing machine from church on Sunday.
-> 
-> 
That may be one of the reasons that Anne and I have not moved since we 
got into this house in 1973. I could not count the moves we made as a child, 
Florida, Panama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, Tennessee, New 
York, France, the Congo (at least itwas then), Switzerland, Washington (DC 
and State) all before I was out of highschool....and more than a few moves 
while I was in the navy myself.....since we've been here I've planted very 
solid roots (grin).The first move Amanda experienced was off to college. 

-> -> Robert, he was learning to use a fork & spoon but preferred fingers.  By
-> -> now he will be a pro at utensils--have to have grandpa give him some
-> -> lessons in using chopsticks.
->  hn> ->
->  hn> I'm sure that will be an experience to get on video!
-> 
-> If Steve gives a lesson, we will try to video it. I may just suggest it
-> to Rachel or David. (G)
-> 
Just remember you never get second chances for those "once in a lifetime 
moments" with kids (or grandkids)!

-> ->  hn> How is it doing right now?
-> 
-> -> Better over all since I went back into the boot; it's not hurting at the
-> -> end of the day as badly.  My shin, since this is a shorter boot, is
-> -> hurting a bit more, especially when I go down stairs.
-> 
->  hn> Well then silly, go down them sideways!
-> 
-> Sort of a sidewinder anyway.  When I saw my pulminologist yesterday, he
-> was happy with the way the lungs sounded but not happy with the way 
the
-> foot is doing and gave me firm orders not to overdo the walking, no if,
-> ands or buts.
-> 
-> ->  hn> not found that silly key! It's on it's very own keychain too! mumble
-> 
-> -> That's what you get for leaving it in such a safe place. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Well it's certainly been safe from me!! (grin)
-> 
-> And you'll find it when you least expect to.
-> 
I just ordered the replacement key, so now it's sure to resurface!

-> -> so Steve suggested our favorite Korean place.  I countered with "How
-> -> about Ba Le?", a Veit Namese place we'd been to a couple of times.
-> -> we went over there where Steve had the garlic chicken (he said not as
-> -> garlicky as he'd hoped) and I had the garic shrimp and chicken with
-> -> enough heat to clear my sinuses but not over load on heat.  Good 
meal; I
-> 
->  hn> Anne's mom will be wanting to take all of us out for a dinner tomorrow
->  hn> night (only night all of us can manage to get together) and I expect
->  hn> we'll go to our favorite Viet place...I'll have the Panang Curry extra
->  hn> hot...and I'll be the only
->  hn> one at the table using any spice at all ....sigh....a chilehead in the
->  hn> land of the
->  hn> bland (Grin), they don't know what they are missing!!
-> 
-> But at least they are willing to eat that kind of food; neither of our
-> sets of parents would consider a place like that for a meal.
-> 
Nor mine, but happily we are not our parents in that respect! 
Have a good transit and if you get the chance give us an update while you're 
on the road! 
Good luck and God Speed!
