Welcome Sue! Good to hear from you again. I guess all this talk of VP makes you crave the stuff. Last Friday hubbie & I stopped at VP for a few pieces. Got talking with one of the waitresses and grilled her about the ingredients, etc. The cheese is mild white cheddar & they have changed the type of oil they use to prepare the pizza. Seems to be less greasy than what I remembered as a kid. It was weird though, it was Friday nite at 9:30 and there were only 2 other people in the place besides us. Is this normal? Since I wasn't able to make the ice breaker on Friday this was the first time I had their pizza in probably 20 yrs. Kinda crazy when it's right in your back yard and you don't take advantage of it and people in Colorado are trying to duplicate it. Marylil - sounds like you survived the fair. Didn't get down this year. Been extremely busy with work and home - and to top it off - my mom fell and broke her foot. Now I get to try and run two households. I need a vacation!!!!!! either that or the bridge!

The weather is turning cooler although its been an extremely warm fall. In Sept. we had temps in the 90's. Global warming???? Today is more seasonal - 63. Have to dig out my halloween decorations - most people around here have had their decorations up for weeks now. I'm still trying to hang on to summer and people keep talking about Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. I hate rushing the seasons. Speaking of Rush, Lee, they were here- right in our little valley during the summer and played at Montage Mt. -missed that one since we were away on vacation that week.

Ann Marie, are you still with us?

Is Sister Heloise on retreat? I truly enjoy reading her advise - or at least it's a break in a very hetic day - a bit of comic relief - if you will. Thank you Sister Heloise - whoever you are!
