Peter...thanks for the offer but we have already made arrangements for it to go to refrigerator heaven.....I think we got our money's worth out of it...$400 / 42 years = $9.52 year!!!!! Here in Canada they are trying to get you to replace any refrigerator older than 10 years.

I also found it pays to do research on the web....the online price was $60 cheaper than the retail price in the store....because I had printed out the info on the fridge I wanted...they honoured the online price...woo hoo!!!!

OK, Elaine. just thought I would Offer ! I always have a couple things going on there.. It is amazing what folks will get if the price is right.

Have it down to a science Dont even have to leave the house !
Except if I run out of Priority mail Boxes..


It is entirely up to you.

Peter

First time out of Florida we arrive at the Maine turnpike and see a sign that says FROST HEAVE when we get to a Toll Booth Lamar asks the attandant. "What's a frost heave?" Never did get an answer. I guess this is what you might call a FROST HEAVE

Cause Originally, frost heaving was thought to occur due simply to the freezing of water in soil. However, the vertical displacement of soil in frost heaving can be significantly greater than the expansion that occurs when ice freezes. In the 1960s, frost heaving was demonstrated in soil saturated in benzene and nitrobenzene, which contract when they freeze.

The current understanding is that ice crystals forming in soil draw water from the surrounding soil, in a process similar to freeze-drying. Heat generated by the freezing process prevents lower levels of soil from freezing as well. Depending on the amount of moisture available, a significant amount of soil displacement can result.


The photo is when the river Crested 10 feet over flood stage !
in early April ! Rain rain rain !!

Thanks Kborn,
I appreciate your offer but we are driving down that Saturday, too. I was just trying to decrease the amount of carry on items.

That sounds good!!!

It should be in the mid 80s to 90s the entire trip. Sunscreen required!! That is my hope ! As JB would sing "I want to go where it is warm". Although it is 90 degrees in Alabama today.

 

[Scott H]

That sounds good!!!

I would expect the highs in the lower 90's and the lows in the upper 70's, kinda the average for the cruise.

 

[Q's My Princess]

Thanks!!! Sunscreen is always on the packing list for this red-headed, freckled girl!!

A couple of weeks ago I mailed our old home videos (VHS) to a company in TX that transferred them to DVD. We received them yesterday. They really turned out great! I would highly recommend this for anyone, like us, who no longer has a VHS player! Q & I watched Michael & I's wedding DVD! She was so excited!

Oh, I almost forgot...yesterday, after school, Quincy (DD), was in the car looking through her Oriental Trading Co. catalog, when she said "Mommy, look at the coconut b**bs. I couldn't stop laughing (silently, of course!)
