Well, I'm not the younger generation, but I don't go to the library much
these days. What with being able to connect to the largest library in the
history of the world from my home. *grin*

I *do* still buy books, but our local public library just isn't all that
great and generally speaking, the sorts of things I used to go to the
library for I can do better on the internet now anyway. I just prefer
staying at home.

But I can cook.

Mine lived on Long Island, I lived in Alaska, guess who moved?

I should have never left the islands, but I rented, he owns a home - seemed
like the only logical thing at the time. He loves his job and I had my own
business. I moved, but I hate it now.

Glad to hear that you stayed in Alaska. Good girl! That's the only state
in this nation I haven't seen yet; would LOVE to go.

You'd probably like Alaska. Plenty of great seafood, and in the summer, the
wildflowers are like a colorful quilt over the state. I know what you mean
about Florida being flat. There is never a view! The highest point in the
state is probably a highway overpass.

My windows look out over the airport to the ocean beyond. From my perch at
1200 feet or so, I can see for miles. To do that in Florida, you'd have to
climb a TV tower.

Sounds like your place is wonderful, Rich. I have a view of some
dilapidated apartments where crack dealers live. :-( Wanna trade?

Heh, DH is from central Pennsylvania. I lived there with him for
a year or so -- it has its charms, but given the choice between
there and coming home to my beloved Puget Sound region of WA State,
PA lost out..

I'd love to move to Seattle, (my father, step-mom, step-brother, cousins and
great aunt & uncle live there) but my hubby is a Southern man and he wants
to stay in the South. I'm a West Coast girl and I feel completely lost
here. You're lucky that you could move.

Mine lived in developer-infested southern California, I lived in
beautiful, god's country Colorado...guess who moved?

Date: Wed, May 4, 2005 (Rich)WROTE:
I am going to a family reunion in August, a pot luck in a public park.
What to take is the question. This is problem of logistics. I will be
flying to Florida, then driving my mother in her car to Missouri for the
reunion, a two day trip. We'll be staying in motels, so no kitchens will
be available. I think Mom has an old Coleman gas camp stove, but I coubt
that it has been lit for years. We both have reputations as good cooks,
so just taking something from the supermarket deli or some KFC chicken
doesn't feel right.
Any ideas for a pot luck offering that could survive two days in a
cooler or could be improvised in the motel or in the park?
Thanks---------------------------------------------
RESPONSE: Seems people are asking a lot to expect some one who has flown
to Florida picked up their mom and then drive two days staying in motels
and still expect for you to bring something nice prepared in a motel
room because you two are known to be good cooks.
That is one family reunion that would be minus me. Good Luck.

I quite agree, Kili. Fortunately, we flew out here to get married
while still living in PA, so he got a taste of the area and was all
for moving. After 15 years here, he says he'd never go back...
