Diesel, Yep, we got it too. Up here on the mountain we usually get it when the valley still has rain. Forecast for tomorrow is freezing rain, sleet and snow.

Well, it's here already. We have an inch of snow on the ground, and more on the way. Dot, you must be getting some of this white stuff also? Your a few miles north of us. Crazy weather for this time of year. Can't ever remember it snowing this early in the Pocono's. Diesel

Marie, LOL My husband was fast to tell me that guy was from NJ. Then they traced his origins back here to New Orleans/Baton Rouge area. Pat

Jerilyn, I loved the poem. A lot of truth in that. Yes, I remember "baby dolls" and loved those, also. They were my favorites. People used to comment about my mother's wash everyday, when the lines were hung with diapers and baby clothes. My mother had twins when I was twelve. That was before pampers. Also, liked scrapple when I was young. Used to eat it at my aunt's house. I think she fried or browned it. Long time ago. Although she may have bought it I really think her mother in law made it. In- laws lived on a farm. I always called her in-laws grammy and grampy. Only when I got into genealogy did I realize that her mother-in-law was my grandmother's first cousin(on the other side of my family). Small world that we reside in. Pat

Judy, I don't think they taste exactly the same. I think Oronoque Orchards is a little lighter and more delicate. I tried Mrs. Smith's once and, although it was okay, I went back to the other. However, if I can't find Oronoque I use Mrs. Smith's. I have a very good recipe for pie crust if you would like. I just can't be bothered with all that mess when I can get these frozen ones.

Do you know if there is a difference in taste? They don't carry Oronoque Orchards here but if the taste is different I would ask the manager to special order some. I never been able to make a good pie crust so I stick to the store bought variety. I think making crust is a real talent, which my mother had. I think it skipped my generation and passed down to one of our daughters who makes an excellent crust. She is the one, of course, that won't eat pie crusts!

Lee, Nice picture of you and Ken. Mistakenly sent it to my friend down here. She thought you were a couple. lol. Take all the compliments you can get. Norma ----- Original Message ----- From: Rose M To: franor Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 12:51 PM Subject: Re: Lee & Ken Who are the nice looking couple? Rose

I will never forget when Tom and I were first married,he was stationed at Bainbridge Naval Base in Port Deposit ,Maryland.The first week I washed after our wedding,I was the only one in the whole Mobile Home Park who had a lineful of beautiful new nighties...some were even "baby dolls".Remember them? The washers in the wash house were wringers,good thing I had had experience using them before my parent's bought their new Kenmore Automatic washer when I was in 6th grade! Jerilyn The Clothesline Said So Much.......... The Clothesline A clothesline was a news forecast To neighbors passing by. There were no secrets you could keep when clothes were hung to dry. It also was a friendly link For neighbors always knew If company had stopped on by To spend a night or two. For then you'd see the fancy sheets And towels on the line; You'd see the company table clothes With intricate design. The line announced a baby's birth To folks who lived inside As brand new infant clothes were hung So carefully with pride. The ages of the children could So readily be known By watching how the sizes changed You'd know how much they'd grown. It also told when illness struck, As extra sheets were hung; Then nightclothes, and a bathrobe, too, Haphazardly were strung. It said, "Gone on vacation now" When lines hung limp and bare. It told, "We're back!" when full lines sagged with not an inch to spare. New folks in town were scorned upon If wash was dingy gray, As neighbors raised their brows, And looked disgustedly away. But clotheslines now are of the past For dryers make work less. Now what goes on inside a home Is anybody's guess. I really miss that way of life. It was a friendly sign When neighbors knew each other best By what hung on the line! author unknown

Although scrapple is not actually a staple of the diet of a New Jerseyian ,many of us who were reared in the Delaware Valley across from Philadelphia appreciate it.Like oysters,liver,or spinach,one either likes it ,or detests it. For those who are in the former category,I found a web site for the delicacy,complete with recipes and where to buy the product outside of the Delaware Valley. www.habbersettscrapple.com Here you will find : Baked Scrapple Aloha Scrapple Tomato Scallop Scrapple Dotties Hannah Habbersett's Apple Scrapple Aunt Sue's Scrapple Biscuit Roll Best Ever Scrapple Sticks Poached Eggs on Scrapple and Peppers Stuffed with Scrapple There are enough scrapple recipes for a lifetime!

Yes lee, I remember Fantasy Fest. It's a wild, crazy, outrageous party. We never went to it though. All I really know about it was what I used to read in The Herald. I believe a few years agao the city wanted to get rid of the Fest due to the rowdy, drunken and often naked (at least now they use body paint) people. Since that time, I believe they have cleaned it up quite a bit although it is stilled called the "homage to excess" by The Herald. You must have gotten an eyefull! Was this your first time or had you gone before?

By Gum Diesel you've hit them all. Now I am really homesick for Jersey, but I can't go home again. Probably break my neck next time. I will have to be content with the Yam capital of the world along with the Bubba Barbeque's Home. Only good thing is the Calabash Seafood now that is something to brag about.

Hi Dot, Oronoque Orchards and Mrs. Smith are both Flower Bakery products. Do you know if there is a difference in taste? They don't carry Oronoque Orchards here but if the taste is different I would ask the manager to special order some. I never been able to make a good pie crust so I stick to the store bought variety. I think making crust is a real talent, which my mother had. I think it skipped my generation and passed down to one of our daughters who makes an excellent crust. She is the one, of course, that won't eat pie crusts! She will eat a top crust to get to the filling but never eats the bottom. :-) Judy mailto:kilkee@attbi.com Dorothy Borne wrote: >Norma, > Have you tried Oronoque Orchards frozen pie crusts?
