Mi Margaret,

You don't have to have a memebership to shop at REI.  If you do have a
membership you get a percentage of your yearly purchase back at the end of
the year.

We are all as well as can be expected for a household with two teenage boys.
My oldest turns 15 yrs. old tomorrow and stands a shade over 6' tall.  The
younger is 13 and fast approaching my height.

We did have a septic system installed last fall so this summers project will
be to add on to the bathroom and install a toilet and a closet, a big, big
closet so I can store linens and cleaning supplies.

I hope all is well in your household.

Terry

Hi, Terry.  Good to hear from you again.  Don't you have to have a
membership to shop at REI?  We don't. I've heard of other people who use
that kind of cap too.  I've had some pre-cancerous bizzards removed from my
face, so I'm more careful now than I used to be.  Hope all is well with you
and your family. Do you have indoor plumbing in place now?  Best, Margaret L
