Hi Nancy,

> Some people just wear well... (G)  Good genes, and all that... :)

Yes, that's true ... You are one with such genes :)  Most of the people in my
family are the same way.. Mom attributes it to her earlier ancestors from
Northern Italy :)  I don't doubt she's right... though another thing she told
me while she was here that I didn't know was that waaaay back, her father's
family moved to Italy from Spain :)   I thought that was amazing..and now I
wonder if I have long lost relatives there :)

> Speaking of Mom, did I see somewhere that she's left for the winter?
> Did she go with her sister, or back to FL with your other sister..?

Right now she's with evil incarnate Lol.. my sister.. but my sister realizes
that Mom has choices now and has at least for now had a change of heart.  I can
hope it lasts.

Yes.. and that makes finding a Christmas present that much harder now :( (g)

hahahaha You've got that right, exactly :)

>> That's the truth though!

> And then there's chocolate to keep one young... or at least feel better!

hahaha :)  Definitely true :)  We don't keep too much chocolate in the house
since Ron is allergic to it.. but now and again I order Hot Chocolate mix from
a great source online.. It's the same company that I get wheat berries
from..Honeyvillegrain.com. They're also the place I get a lot of dried veggies,
etc. from.  Last night I made a marble cake to get my choc. fix without causing
him too many problems :)

Take care,
Janis
