Hi Jenny - I'll answer this in detail probably tomorrow when I have time, but here's my email. I don't mind posting it here; I decided to for Tina. It's somewhat frivolous or fantasy-ish.
It's kattgoddess@excite.comTake care - hope your washing machine doesn't go on strike!!.
Hugs, Kath
> Kath,

> Thank you on the knowledge compliment. At least it's one thing I can do right sometimes!

> > ...........What a good idea. I just tidied my patio off, swept it & removed various junk, so it now goes with my pretty gardens better! I have toads in my gardens & I love them.
> We have frogs when it rains, which isn't often. Now that my neighbors is weeded, the kids put out buckets of water with lillipads for them. I don't think they're too interested in visiting here in July, although it has been quite cool.

> > .................... I'd love to see your roses. Maybe we might even get "serious" enough to exchange real addresses & photos!!!! (Whoa - now THAT'S serious!)
> Sometime we'll find a way. Especially now that I have my digital camera. I haven't tried to email a photo yet. I'm technically inept.

> > ...........That's amazing (1600's). I'm pretty interested in doing mine but haven't done much at all in the way of it yet. Maybe someday.
> I definetly recommend taking a class. If I didn't do that, I never would have started.

> > .........I knew you were thinking of it - what's a conversion van? That license plate thing is quite something. Gives me the shivers. My husband & I usually forget our anniversary (July 24) & one of us will remember a week or 2 later. We have quite a laff about it. One year HE remembered (you know the jokes about husbands forgetting) on the day & I forgot.

> Do they not use the term "conversion van" in Canada? It's a van that has 4 captians chairs, and a couch in the back that goes down into a bed. Plus there is a TV/VCR for the kids up high between front seats and their own stereo all with headphone hookups at each seat so we don't have to hear their music or TV. Awesome for traveling...or just wandering around. I'm a wanderer...otherwise I sit at home and think about my panic and health stuff. We ran plates on the van and found that it was built in Canada! An omen perhaps?

> Happy anniversary? What number? Our 14th will be on 8/16.
> > What is Big Bear (or where)?
> It is a city at about 7,500ft elevation in the nearby San Bernardino Mountains. We set out for relaxation with our friends, but you know how that goes. We took 2 SeaDoos out on the Lake which is naturally freezing. One does wonder what the heck you are doing in a bathing suit when everyone else is in wetsuits! Needless to say, I never got very wet, but my friend was on the other one with his daughter and they tipped in the middle of the lake. Couldn't get back on, so by the time we got them out, they were a bit on the "hypothermic" side :) I think next time we'll go for the boat. We wanted to give them a run at a higher elevation before taking them to Lake Powell next month. Next time I think we'll stick to the ocean...much warmer!
> Next, the shower pipe started leaking in the cabin, so the guys ended up trying to fix that...and nothing was really open on a Sunday. So, our friends are still up there finishing up "leak repair" and I am down here doing 700 loads of laundry! We brought down everything in our truck, and of course the kids packed all the wet stuff in with it, so I've been washing for 2 families. I think I'm on my 14th load so far!
> >
> .........I'd like to exchange emails but how does one do it privately? Maybe one doesn't.
>
> I'm sure we'll find a way...or someone will post a suggestion. I all else fails, I'll just post it for you.
>
> PS: You two may forget your anniversary, but my family does this Lake Powell thing every year. When my kids couldn't swim, and my panic was unbearable, I didn't go. The first 6 years we were married, my husband was on vacation with my parents on our anniversary. Since then we have always said that the key to a happy marriage is separate vacations!

> Off to put in another load of towels! Jenny
