Hi Shawn,

 SH> I don't blame you.  That's a lot of fake cheese to eat in a short
 SH> amount of time.

Especially since our girls were small (toddler and preschooler) at the
time so didn't eat a lot. Steve and I ate most of it. To this day we
refer to that kind of cheese as "plastic cheese" because of its
consistancy.

 > stuff was used up. I don't think it was too long after that that
 Steve > enlisted in the Army.

 SH> GOod call!

Quite so--thought he'd only do 4 years and we'd go back to civilian
life. Then at about 9.5 years decided to go for 20 and the retirement
but at about 18.5 the chance to go to Hawaii and a promotion while there
put retirement at 26 years. Found out after he was well into the
retirement process he could have stayed in for 3 more years but decided
to stay with getting out then. Travels because of the Army really
broaded our horizons--living in various place in the US and Germany
(also Korea for Steve) introduced us to a lot of new foods and friends,
some of which still remain a part of our lives.

 SH> I've been off a bit too... Due to my wife cleaning up.  NO more tables

 SH> books, video games, all gone. :)

 SH> I think she's getting us ready to move into a RV full time in a few

 SH> medical degree of some kind.  Hoping this one will work out.)

Still, how do you function without at least one table? We've got several
scattered thruout the house--kitchen, living room, computer/ham shack
room, sewing room............... Probably keeps the excess papers from
accumulating tho. (G) At one point Steve was thinking of RVing full time
but I'm just as glad we're not doing so. Met some folks in TX that are
doing it but I like having a permanent locaation where I can keep
projects set if if I want to. I'd also have to give up a lot of my
kitchen stuff that I've acquired post Army life. (G)
