<DIV><SPAN class=855275616-31122003><FONT face="Century Gothic" size=2>What a
shame! I so enjoyed you being there last time! I haven't laughed so hard in a
long time! Sioban will want to be there to see my new decorations. My mom is a
collect-aholic and since she can't display these collected things at home, she
buys them and gives them to me... like I need help collecting more stuff! She is
quite fond of collecting the movie posters from the LOtR series... there are 3
in Christopher's room, 4 in the "scribal room" and 2 of those puzzles you can
hang on the wall without having to glue them together... plus she got some stamp
thing and a 3-D puzzle of the Hall of the horse king... can't rememeber the
name, but I think it's from Rohan. She also buys me beanie babies, most of which
are in boxes in the basement.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=855275616-31122003><FONT face="Century Gothic" size=2>I have an
update. I have placed a LARGE Northkeep badge in my front window (bay style
triple windows, it's in the middle) so it will be more obvious which house you
are looking for. And to intice you... maybe... I plan on serving a WONDERFUL
soup to anyone who can make it (show up early if you like). Now I am not one of
those supersticious people who must have black-eyed peas, black beans and rice,
or lima beans on Jan 1 to have good luck in the coming year... but my mom did
have a tradition of making this soup and when I thought of it the other day, I
thought "WHY NOT?", so I am making it. Heck, come for the soup and leave, if you
like, I don't care!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=855275616-31122003><FONT face="Century Gothic" size=2>Have you
ever hated certain foods on their own, but when they are mixed together, somehow
they become delicious? I was amazed when it happened to me. I hate green
peppers, cooked carrots, celery and DESPISE black-eyed peas... but my mom made
this soup once and all these ingredients are in it... and it is the most
wonderful soup I have ever eaten... and the recipe makes enough to feed an army,
so I'll be eating this stuff for a month if you guys don't come have
some.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=855275616-31122003><FONT face="Century Gothic" size=2>If you
don't want to try the soup, because you, too, hate black eyed peas, then you
don't have to eat it, but I do hope you will come, anyway. I will not check my
e-mail after I leave here tonight, so if you have any questions for me this
evening or tomorrow, please call me @ 583-1588.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
