Hi Dave,

Good to see you're back home after giving all of us another scare.


 DD> I guess I'm just used to the Seven League Boots driving from being a
 DD> long haul trucker. But that had its pitfalls as well.  Bv)=

 RH> Long haul truckers are used to spending hours on the road; we prefer to
 RH> do the shorter trips. We also stop more often, just to move around a
 RH> little and get the circulation going. Hopefully that will prevent any
 RH> more long haul sitting possiblities of another stroke.

 DD> Got to do what you can to shift the odds to your favour.

Yes, and that includes regular check ups with a cardiologist. He had one
yesterday and all went well. Scheduled one for next year so it's on the
calendar now.

 RH> found it and stopped in back of us just after Steve finished the change
 RH> to let us know he had it.

 DD> I asked Phil what he was going to do with the old Winnie as he was
 DD> providing transport for me to come home from hospital. His comment was
 DD> "It's too good to junk and not worth spending a lot on." He's going to
 DD> enquire among the extended family.

Somebody may want to take it and make a get away room. Steve is again
looking at sheds; the one that came with this house is so full of tools
that he has to work outside. A friend suggested getting a big
one--letting me have half as a sewing studio. I'd rather extend the back
wall of the house another 10' or so, so I could do other things
(laundry, work on meals, etc) without running back and forth from a shed
to the house.


 RH> We did well in that the tire that blew out on the camper was the
 RH> passenger side and the shoulder was wide enough that we could pull
 RH> completly off the road.

 DD> Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.

We pulled in at the next rest area and checked for other damage. A bit
of cosmetic damage but nothing serious. There was quite a prarie dog
colony at the rest stop--fun to see them in action.

 DD>       Title: Pioneer Woman Million Dollar Dip

 RH> I've seen a few of her tv shows, not really impressed. Also seen her
 RH> line of kitchen/cook ware in the stores--have yet to buy any. (G)

 DD> I wasn't overly impressed with any part of that marketing exercise.
 DD> Still, the base recipes are decent. But keep in mind a million bucks
 DD> isn't what it used to was. Sometimes it's just all green and wrinkly.

It spends, and often gone before you know it.

 DD>       Title: Million-Dollar Chicken Casserole
 DD>  Categories: Poultry, Dairy, Cheese, Breads, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 8 servings

Now this one I might try.
