====================================================================
Hi ap,

-> next travel time.  BTW, we will probably be in the Vancouver area in
-> late June, and again, early July next year.  May get in early or stay
-> late to visit friends in the S-T area.

-> Saw that the Mariners didn't do so well against the Mets recently. (G)

 hn> Mets? We haven't played the Mets!

OOPS!  Told you my reading had been sort of gee-whacky lately; I guess
I've been reading the newspaper the same way. I'd like to see a Mets &
Mariners game but I guess it'll only happen in my imagination right now.


-> But could you have served as a microwave for a bit afterward? (G)

 hn> No...but I didn't let any pregnant
 hn> women sit on my radioactive knee!
 hn> (grin)

I'd be rather surprised to hear if you did. Did you call the doctor on
Monday and get results?

->  hn> I try to get in every day, but
->  hn> when I'm working at the ballpark
->  hn> it often gets to be every 2nd or
->  hn> third day.

-> I saw that you will be calling tomorrow (Monday).  I've got to call and
-> reschedule a double appointment tomorrow--was supposed to be in July
 hn> but
-> found out the one doctor will be gone so..................  It's over in
-> Chapel Hill so I want it taken care of before classes start.

 hn> It's 8:30 am here and I'm going to call right after
 hn> 9am. Lots to do today, day off from the ballpark!

And hopefully I'll catch up to it before long.  I got rescheduled for
Friday of the same week as the original appointment, effectively
changing our plans to head to Savannah that week end.


->  hn> We used to do all that too. Now we
->  hn> seldom drink juices or soft drinks, mostly
->  hn> water and tea or coffee (me).

-> I like a big (12 oz) glass of orange juice in the morning so we still
-> buy the concentrate.  For years, I only had juice in the morning, with
-> an occaisional mug of tea if it was cold.  Now it's both the juice and
-> tea; when I was going for radiation (early am appointment), I'd have the
-> juice and yogurt before going.  After getting home, I'd have tea and
-> whatever else I wanted for breakfast.  Kept up with having both even
-> after finishing treatments.

 hn> I like tomato juice, grapefruit juice
 hn> and even the occaisional orange juice,
 hn> but seldom have them as a regular
 hn> addition to any meal.

Just as a drink now and then?  I drink other juices from time to time
but orange is one that I usually only have in the morning.  Sometimes,
if I happen to have everything on hand, I'll mix ginger ale half and
half with apple OR grape juice.

-> -> tomato) relish but doesn't do pickles. She also does a (wimpy) chili
-> -> sauce that I've made a few times--but made hotter. (G)

->  hn> and "bread and butter" pickles. We
->  hn> sometimes had a green tomato relish,
->  hn> but my dad was not overly fond of it

-> We had it as an alternative to ketchup on some things. It was always one
-> condiment on burgers--ketchup, chili sauce or pickle relish.  If you
-> didn't like the cook's choice, you ate a plain burger.

 hn> Pop liked catsup..but he made his own
 hn> version of it which was much hotter
 hn> than any commercial product.

Did he give out the recipe before he passed away?  I've seen a few
ketchup recipes and would like to try making my own some time if I could
get a good deal on tomatoes.  Just another use of the semi truck load
full we were discussing a few months ago. (G)

->  hn> It will be a year on father's day, been a
->  hn> VERY rough year for Mom. My youngest
->  hn> sister's husband passed away on the 14th
->  hn> of June from bone cancer. He went very
->  hn> fast and was in a LOT of pain. Mom's still
->  hn> in Knoxville recovering from her broken hip
->  hn> and could not make the journey back home
->  hn> for the funeral.

-> Our sympathy--hope next year is better as your mom continues to
-> recouperate.

 hn> I'm hoping, and keeping my fingers crossed!

Kinda hard to type that way, isn't it?


 hn> Summers in the southeast are hot humid and
 hn> often have daily thundershowers. One of the
 hn> things I do miss here, we have showers but
 hn> seldom accompanied by thunder.

Those have been on the scarce side this summer.  (Actually, late spring
with extreme summer heat that's been our weather pattern for a fairpart
of May and June.)
