Hey Quentin, Your "newsy"letter is much appreciated. I know more about what's been happening in the recent - and distant - past of your life, than I have in a long time....even though we meet quite frequently here in Canada. (BTW, when are you coming around this side, next?)
About the salt and vinegar for wounds....Isn't that the way they used to treat/heal wounds when we were growing up? Salt, vinegar (sound like good antiseptics to me)and a bandage around the wound?? or is that what my dad used to use to make his absolutely delicious Pork Roast? Can't remember now! But....You better watch out....(in keeping with the season's song), you may be inadvertently healing peoples' wounds when what you really want to do is make them worse!!!!! Hey Quentin,you too bring back great memories of days gone by. "Lobi" (seven tiles) was one of the most fun games ever! (cheating made the game even better. If I remember correctly, you were a master cheater!) Too bad kids don't play it these days!! Take care, now. Love to you and the family, and to ALL THE SALIGAONETTERS - have a great Christmas and a very happy New Year...It's just 'round the corner, you know!
