Hi Ruth,

-> We don't see a lot of breads on the mark downs. If there are any, most
-> often it's ones we wouldn't buy anyway.

 RH> This week it was just the white bread, something I don't eat except in
 RH> the stuffing on Thanksgiving.

About the same here unless I get down to Whole Foods Market & get a bag
of their whole wheat stuffing bread.


->  RH> As it should be, since you no longer have child-sized cart motors
 RH> in
->  RH> residence.

-> Unfortunately, no, they're all out west. When Steve was in Korea, I'd
-> give the girls half the list. Since they knew what brands we used, they
-> could do some of the shopping and save us some time.

 RH> Worked.  You need to hire some kids.  Or borrow some.  Their moms
 RH> might appreciate the kids being given supermarket lessons.

We're just shopping in small increments for now. Getting the basics we
need and stuff to round out what's in the freezer. A couple of weeks ago
I grabbed some R.W.Knudsen's veggie juices as I was almost out of V-8;
after the first glassful, I told Steve that I didn't want to go back to
V-8. The regular has a tang to it but the spicy has quite the zing to
it. There are also little bits (chips?) of veggies as opposed to the V-8
pureed into complete smoothness.

->  RH> Yep - he's pushing.  Latex doesn't bother me, oddly enough.

-> Never used to bother me but I understand it can pop up at any time in
-> your life.

 RH> True.  My grandmother wasn't allergic to even poison ivy until she hit
 RH> about
 RH> 50.  Other allergies can disappear.

Mine have gotten worse, not better but not to the point where shots are
needed.

->  RH> mornings.   I'll fight you for the whole wheat tortillas though!

-> For 100% whole wheat or multi grain, yes. For ones with any white flour
-> and/or preservatives, they're all yours.

 RH> No thanks on the latter.  I don't even like them much.  The white
 RH> flour ones
 RH> can be good, but I won't buy them.  I let myself have the white flour
 RH> stuff on Sundays and not the rest of the time.

I'll get some white bagels from time to time but not on a regular basis.
Got some "everything" and cinnamon raisin in the freezer with the whole
wheat right now.

-> Don't know how many texts I've sent since we activated it 3 years ago. A
-> lot more than you have tho. (G)

 RH> Wouldn't take much. Like two.(G)

-> -> materials for but that's about as far as I've gotten,

->  RH> If God doesn't let you die until all of your assigned tasks are
 RH> done,
->  RH> both of us are borderline immortal!

-> Pretty accurate summation. Had an e-mail yesterday about the family
-> quilt project from mom of original contact, daughter of intended
-> recipients. Wrote her back that I'm still willing to do it if she's
-> willing to wait a bit until I can use the rotary cutter again.

 RH> Not to mention a scissor, sewing machine, safety pins....  I use my
 RH> cutter right-handed because it's easier.  Scissor too.

I've got a Martelli Ergo 2000 (left handed) rotary cutter. My Olfa one
can be used with either hand so we generally keep it set up for right
handed use. Scissors are all right handed. I used the sewing machine
this past week to make the diaper bags (finished last night). No big
projects, just a number of little ones. Plus helping a bit more in the
kitchen.

Catch you later,

...  I'm clinging to sanity by a thread. Hand me those scissors.
