I got a new cell phone the other day which has lots of bells and whistles some of which I will not use but it is really nifty - even has conversions for currency and temperature. I had an old klunker which was only two years old but the technology has really changed. My excuse for getting the new phone was so we could have international access in Europe - my old phone company doesn't have it so I had to change companies.

We're looking forward to meeting our new friend and very, very distant relative, Gunda, when we go to Germany - we have been emailing in English and German and comparing notes on our gardening activities among other things. We're having some great garden veggies right now and there are huge Cushaw squashes growing thanks to seed from a friend. I have no idea what to do with Cushaw squashes - make a bunch of pumpkin pies, I guess.
