And here I thought you were just Limburgering up. By all means keep punning, they just Edam up.

If you think I Emmental impressed - you're right. You're obviously no tyro at cheese prose. You're a veritable Cheez Wiz. I admire your Kraft. Now that all this dairy talk has given me a Havarti appetite, I'm gonna say Later, Jack

I have been meaning to write to let you know how our house building went but absolutely nothing funny happened. The builder came monthly with a bill that was always much greater that I expected. He came last month with the last bill which was much bigger than expected and gave us a calender. Somehow this all seemed so anticlimactic, no official handing over of the keys, just the calender and the bill ...then he walked away. I now have my husband to continue on with the building, somehow that is much better. He never sends me any bills and he always gives me the impression that I am getting my own way . Has anyone on the thread ever laid terra cotta tiles and is willing to admit it? If so I would love to know what you used as a finish thanks janet

I talked with Barb Loucks last night. We may get to meet next week as she will still be in Pennsylvania then. She told me some tales of the ice storm which were amazing and scary. She lives in one of the worst hit areas. They are losing all their trees, probably, including a big old elm that was a particular favorite. There was concern that it might damage the house. When they drove south, they found that absolutely nothing was open - no gas stations, stores, restaurants. The exits on the interstates were even closed. Naturally there wasn't any traffic. She said they were glad they had a small car which could travel a long way on a tank of gas. I can't inagine what Franconia looks like (where my father lived and where I still have land.) I heard a report on NPR this morning where a forester estimated that there would be a loss of 40% of the trees in the White Mountain forests. Sounds like some of the tech stocks in recent months...
