Hi Ruth,

-> We've got rain again. (G)  It's supposed to go below freezing at night

 RH> So much for a foot of snow.  Try two inches.

That's about what we might have this afternoon into tomorrow morning.

Most of what we get at CVS is at the pharmacy.  Your comment about
buying marked down chocolate for Valentine's Day brought back memories
of when we lived in NC before Steve went into the Army.  We were dirt
poor, using every penny we had to make a living.  One form of fun was to
get together with another couple; they had 2 kids that ours played with
while we played Uno or Ono 99.  Their income level wasn't too hgh either
so the day after Valentine's Day, he and Steve were in the local drug
store for something, probably fire department related or after a fd
meeting.  The candy boxes were half price so they splurged and bought us
day after valentine's day treats.  Sweet; we need to look them up while
we're living in state.

We tried one brand of soy yogurt when we were in GA, got it at the
commissary.  IIRC, it was Silk--and it had issues with going bad well
before the "use by" date.  For the most part, if he doesn't have much
milk otherwise, a small container of regular yogurt wont bother Steve.
He would probably enjoy the coconut milk ones tho.
