Hi Ruth,

-> The 3 year old will be a big brother in another month or so. Guess he
-> was getting some practice playing with a younger kid. (G) Didn't get to
-> last night as church was again canceled for weather conditions.

 RH> Ice ice, baby?

Snow, sleet, freezing rain all in one day, followed by more snow the
next day. We're warming up now and the snow is melting fast. Yesterday
Steve and I walked to a local Italian place for lunch and the snow was
turning to slush.

->  RH> I know what you mean.  I had some really pretty stone beads here
->  RH> shaped like stars.  Mom "cleaned up" and threw them out on me.
->  It wasn't the value that irked me, it was that something I'll never
->  see again went into the trash.

-> Whoops! I know better than to try to do any clean up around Steve's
-> computer stuff and he knows the same about my sewing room. I'm presuming
-> trash as in it was out of the house before you knew what had happened?
-> Bunner!

 RH> Exactly.  No way to ever find them again, along with some steel guitar
 RH> parts.  She threw $30 in the trash, and that was just the outlay.

Sigh! Could have been worse, I suspect, but I know (the hard way now)
about losing irreplaceable items.

-> -> These were the sheets, not noodles. I think we'll go back to regular
-> -> noodles, whole wheat, of course.

->  RH> Good idea.  They're OK, but not if you're used to whole wheat.

-> These were whole wheat also but just didn't taste as good. Must be the
-> bronze plates the box said they were made on. (G)

 RH> I tried the Hodson's Mill(?) version last night.  Not a real winner.

Hodgeson's Mills? OK but not super great. Beats the Ezekial 4:9 stuff by
a coountry mile tho.


-> -> Got the rest of my "Vs" done, (there were a total of 12, not 10)
 RH> instead of watching tv.

->  RH> It's all pre-recorded anyway, which takes half the fun out of it.

-> Too many "backstories" and commercials--we liked watching them on German
-> tv better when we were over there. Less filler, more action.

 RH> I end up flipping channels to get away from the ads and the chatter.

I just keep it turned off. Got another shirt done for Santa that way &
chipping away at other sewing backlog.


-> (black olives)
-> -> -> I'll eat them, but not seek them out. Steve usually gives me his
 RH> if we're out somewhere and they come in the salad. I'll mix them
 in with some Mexican things I make but chopped up fine.

-> ->  RH> They're OK as an ingredient, but not by themselves.

-> -> That's basically what I use them as, and finely chopped.

->  RH> They're also the classic pizza olive.

-> Yes, and I usually get most, if not all of Steve's if he gets a slice of
-> pizza with them on it.

 RH> I'll bet if one comes with kalamatas or some other good olive, that
 RH> doesn't happen!

I've yet to see a pizza with any olive other than the standard black but
if it did have kalamatas, it's a "given" that Steve would keep his
share.
