=======================
Hi Hap,

-> A day later than the message just before this but with a completed book
-> review.  Just a bit more writing and I'll be done with this class.
-> Spring semester starts next Thursday, back to the super busy time.

 HN> It's nice to enjoy a break, but it's good
 HN> to have things going on as well!

True, I'm going to have a couple of interesting classes (OT & NT
Survey).  In addition, I'll be teaching a 7 year old girl sewing basics
& doing some alterations work.  Expect Steve's presence here to drop big
time; he will be so busy that I will probably see him only when he takes
time to eat or finally decides it's bed time.

->  HN> Ours is frost free, and I'm glad it is!!
->  HN> finished the split pea last night for dinner

-> Our fridge freezer is frost free but the chest freezer isn't. We've got
-> to work on eating it down so that by the time warm weather comes again
-> we can defrost it.  It's chilled off again; right now (9 pm) it's 39
-> outside. At least the rain has quit, until Sunday.

 HN> All we have is the little freezer above the fridge.
 HN> I'm glad I don't have to defrost it!

I'm glad I only have one to defrost.  I've had my share of DIY defrost
fridges over the years and assignments.

->  HN> more than likely do a pot roast and chili
->  HN> and that will be supplying the freezer for
->  HN> next week.

-> Sounds good.  I pulled a bit of left over sauerbraten and red cabbage
-> out for supper the other night.  Nice and easy supper, minimal clean up.
-> We also had noodles with it.

 HN> I still have not figured out what I'm gonna
 HN> cook this weekend for the next week's dinners.

And now you're looking at another week end coming up. (G)

->  HN> Anne and I are trying (only somewhat successfully)
->  HN> to cut down on "eating out" and

-> You can eat out, just have to be sensible about it. My doctor called
-> about the blood work.  She said it all looked good except the LDL
-> levels.  We decided to let me try getting those down thru eating better
-> before going the meds route.  No more fried Chick-Fil-A sandwich, got to
-> go for the broiled instead. (G)

 HN> We can and do, but we need to get away
 HN> from just going out because I haven't
 HN> gotten dinner already plated  by the
 HN> time Anne gets home.

Steve knows to allow me wiggle room on that.  Only night that we have to
meet a deadline is Thursday; his class starts at 6:30, mine at 7:00.
Wednesday night church start at 7:00 but that's a given.  I just tweak
the "It's on the table" call about half an hour earlier.  Generally it's
easy do, easy clean up so we can be out the door by 6:40-45.

->  HN> You'll love UP, I'm considering
->  HN> buying it for us as well. Julie and

->  We'll try to watch it before classes start again or before the work
->  piles on too high.  The trailers looked good so I'm expecting the movie
->  will be just as good.

 HN> Anne's back is bothering her (still) so we'll
 HN> spend the weekend taking care of that...which
 HN> means she'll be sitting on the couch most of

Bummer!  She's having a rough school year.


 HN> the day babying the back...and watching videos
 HN> or reading. So I'll most like go get some vid's
 HN> for us to enjoy.

Sounds like a good game plan to me.

->  HN> Julia is wonderful and Meryl Streep
->  HN> does a wonderful job as Julia, so

-> From what I've read, she did quite an outstanding job.  I understand
-> that Julie has a new book out (or due out any day) but not to the same
-> quality of the first book (that started as a blog).

 HN> I'll keep an eye out for it!

I won't have time to read it. (G)

->  HN> believable! I'm with your grandmother,
->  HN> I enjoyed watching Julia at work as well
->  HN> (gee why do I feel so old suddenly??(grin))

-> Biting my tongue on that one. (G)

 HN> Ya, just like that kid Methuselah that
 HN> used to hang around, he called me old man too!
 HN> (grin)

And you'll roll over another year on the odometer this year.
