Hi Shawn,

 RH> We have a yard service; he'd not come in about 3 weeks and the grass

 SH> One chore I hate with a passion is cutting the grass.  Thankfully my
 SH> lawn is small so it doesn't take more thne 15 mins,

We own about .28/acre, not really enough to justify buying a riding
mower but takes a while to do with a push mower. Your lawn sounds like
the one we had in Savannah; I don't think it took even 10 minutes to
mow.


 RH> woods on a long term basis?

 SH> We're in a seasonal trailer park so Mother's Day (Can) to Thanksgiving
 SH> (can) are when we're allowed in.  Having said that when all the people
 SH> are moved in to the apartment, I'm probably going to be staying here
 SH> most days jsut so I have some time to myself.

I see; Steve's older brother/wife and sister/husband are in a
"campground" like that. Mostly long term RVs in it but a section has
cottages that some people have been grandfathered in for year round
living. My BIL and his wife are in one of those; her family has owned
the property for I don't know how many years. My SIL and her husband
spend 6 months of the year in Florida, the other 6 months at this
campground. We asked if we could rent a site for just a few days while
visiting in that area, got told "sorry, no".



 RH> We bought a chicken from Sam's Club and Steve grilled a rack of ribs
 RH> late last week so we're eating off of them, reheating as desired in
 RH> the microwave. Right now the temperature is only 75; I could almost
 RH> bake something in the big oven without heating up the house too much.
 RH> we'll work on left overs tho. (G)

 SH> Our Grandson came to visit yesterday so we had Hot Dogs last night. :)
 SH> I enjoy one every now and again.  Andrea also brought a nice store
 SH> made salad and fruit tray so we ate pretty darn well!  Left over dogs
 SH> will be used instead of Bacon with our eggs when the rest of them wake
 SH> up. :)

We've done that from time to time, cut up the hot dogs and scramble them
with the eggs. My parents did that when I was growing up, called it
"hupple pupple". Found a similar dish in one of my German cook books.
