==================
Hi Ruth,

-> Same with any other kind of tree; every year about this time I get
-> letters from my folks, partly wondering when the frost will be gone so
-> they can plant the garden or will it kill all the pear, apple and cherry
-> blossoms on their various trees.

 RH> Same here, although I don't even try to grow any of the above.

They have one cherry, one pear and a couple of apple trees, plus several
maples.  Talking now about taking out the maples as they'v gotten quite
big over the last 50 years (when transplanted from the mountainside).
Dad used to tap them and make his own syrup--until several years ago he
almost caught the garage on fire with a faulty gas tank.

-> I do mine at night too.  I try to keep it about chin length-looks best
-> that way.

 RH> I had mine chin length as a kid - just found a pile of slides of me
 RH> with that haircut.  NEVER again.(G)

I'd rather have mine short than long.

-> I've got to watch the heels too; can't wear too skinny a heel thanks to
-> the bad knee and feet.  A "clunky" heel, like on my boots, is the best
-> but hard to find in shoes.

 RH> You've been looking in the wrong places then - the punk goth kid shoes
 RH> come with those heels as often as not....

I want a sensible dress pump in brown and black, sandals in white or off
white, black & brown.  Actually, I"ve got a fair numbero f sandals but
need the dress heels.  You know how long it's been since I've worn them?
Neither do I but not regularly since moving over here.


-> I got a couple of pairs of New Balance walking shoes a couple of
weeks -> so I'm wearing them everywhere, even to church.

 RH> That's what I'm wearing now - in size 13!  They ran a bit small, so
 RH> they fit like my 12s.

Mine are are size 8.

-> The super small sizes also have trouble. I used to wear a 7 1/2
-> regularly but have gone into an 8 for the most part. Some I have to get
-> in wide to feel comfortable tho.

 RH> Anyone under a 6 has problems too, and size 3s and 4s can be downright
 RH> impossible.  People with a "dutch foot" - short and wide, have it even
 RH> worse.

Or long and narrow, like Rachel.
