Ann--I have had tremendous success with Centipede. I started my new home with nothing but sand...trucked in dumptruck loads of soil (which almost immediately washed away in the wettest winter in decades). My Centipede survived all: dry, humid, wet...sun and shade and is thriving. It is invasive, but easy to pull out of areas you don't want it in. Flat, low growing, lots of blades per runner (not like skinny Bermuda). It's the 3rd year for my lawn, and it's the envy of the neighborhood.

My DH did the website and maintains it for the kids. My son is the chef, DIL is a chef but does all the wine stuff and is the manager. I am the hostess and do all the PR and DH is the "Jazz Man". He has played jazz piano, "straight ahead" jazz ever since I met him in 1970. He does parties and receptions and the kids restaurant every Friday night and all the wine dinners. The wine dinners are all archived in the special events section. My son is really something. He was cooking locally and then went in the USMC and then went to NECI in Vermont and completed his training. He spent a lot of time in the NW in Oregon and WA. He will stay here always near us, he says, and we are glad of that. I am pleased you like the menu...it is even better than it sounds. He would welcome you all , as would we, anytime. c

I've never understood how "Editing" would work. For instance, if I say something and a few minutes later decide I should have said something else, then go back and change what I said, many others have already responded to the original, so doesn't that upset the apple cart? We need to be our own Editor. I do type my message in Word if it is a long message and then C&P it into the thread. Also, if you use your Spellcheck feature, you will see there is an error and can fix it, which BTW, eliminates the need for the SP? thingy I didn't see Pattie's error either. Sorry I missed it if it was humorous. If you are prone to typos, take a minute to correct it. What bothers me the most is the lack of punctuation, which makes a long message hard to decipher. I think we are fortunate to have this FREE, no ads, Forum. Sue

Sugar, Sugar by Tommy Roe, Unchained Melody by Righteous Brothers, Who'll Stop The Rain - CCR, Teach Your Children Well. Has anyone heard "Crusin" by Huey Lewis and Gleneth Paltrow? It's great.
