Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> And a pretty interesting area...but still quite out of the way in
-> ->  hn> terms of locale!
-> 
-> -> Yes, but we ended up really liking the area and hope to retire out
-> -> somewhere out there eventually.
-> 
->  HN> It is an interesting area, one Anne and I like to visit in the winter
->  HN> for a spot of dry and warm sun to offset our typical wet and grey
->  HN> winters! I
->  HN> don't know that I could live there year round, but it's very nice for
->  HN> a week or so!
-> 
-> Southeast of Tucson (in Cochise County) is the best part in our opinion.
-> It's cooler than Tucson or Phoenix and has drop dead gorgeous scenery.
-> Can't knock the food either--southwest, Mexican, beef.........
-> 
I can't argue with you one bit on that! We really liked the area around Bisbee 
and Karchner Caverns, but the Tucson area is very nice as well. And for the 
short time that we go there Tucson is as good a basecamp as we could want!

-> -> -> We had regularly funded magazines (that we still get) and had both
-> 
->  HN> You can always go to www.sunset.com and have a look at it online!
-> 
-> True, and I might do that after we get back from our trip.  Lots to do
-> before we leave but projects are getting done, bit by bit.
-> 
Same here, we leave Thursday for a short visit down with Amanda...Anne 
decided that we "needed to go see her" (read that as ANNE needed to go see 
her, I'm just along as the driver {grin}) So I am running around getting all
the 
little errands done before we head out. 

-> -> And they wiggle!  I'm basically running around the house without the
-> -> cane--sure is handy working in the kitchen without having to grab it all
-> -> the time.  I can use 2 hands instead of one or "Steve, come here and 
get
-> -> this for me, please".
-> 
->  HN> Yeah,  but it's still fun to have him come in and help!
-> 
-> If he's home and not busy elsewise, I'll yell for him. If he's wrapped
-> up in the computer or television, it's easier for me to drag out the
-> step stool than thry & break his concentration.
-> 
Hmmm, Anne just throws something at me...I usually respond by the third or 
fourth shot (grin).

-> ->  hn> is a "make up" day for the teachers because one of their "work 
days
-> 
-> -> Such is life.  And, if she's like most teachers, she will spend a good
-> -> bit of summer working to make sure thngs are in order for the first day
-> -> of school.
-> 
->  HN> Oh yes! (grin) Anne's mom will be coming out in July/aug and the two
->  HN> of them will spend days and days out at the classroom getting it
->  HN> ready...lots to do this summer as Anne changed rooms again!
-> 
-> And are you going to try & get a quick trip back to the east coast in
-> over the last week end of July?
-> 
Nope, sadly not gonna happen, Anne's mom will be out here for her yearly 
visit and we'll be busy running hotel hap till the second week in august.

-> ->  hn> then....I hope! I'm not helping this year because I'm scheduled to
-> ->  hn> work every ball game this month and will be at the ballpark almost
-> ->  hn> every day till the end of the month.
-> 
-> -> Such a hardship! (G)
-> 
It's a tough job but somebody has to do it (grin) The M's are on the road now 
in Kansas City and Anne and I have a little time to ourselves!

->  HN> The boston series was great! (we took all three games) Now Toronto 
is
->  HN> in town and then I'm off to Californy!
-> 
-> I usually don't pay that much attention to AL teams--except when the
-> interleague play is going on.  My team is doing well this year, leading
-> the division by several games.
-> 
We took all three against Toronto as well! Great baseball! 

-> ->  hn> to "her own life", but it's nice to be back to just Annie and me
-> 
-> -> Yes, I know what you mean.  Last night was our first night "in" this
-> -> week.  Had a change in plans.  BTW, Steve took a couple of casseroles
-> -> over to one of his fellow troops; his wife is bedridden, expecting twins
-> -> in 3 weeks.  They were appreciated (more so by the wife I think) but
-> -> Steve found out this guy is a certified (whatever that means) Italian
-> -> chef. I told him I could be certified crazy some times. (G)
-> 
->  HN> Only SOME times? Heck I am pretty sure I would qualify MOST of the
->  HN> time! (grin) I wish our freezer were bigger so I could make and save
-> 
-> Probably hitting more of the time than not so these days.  Keeps life
-> interesting. (G)
-> 
Yep! Interesting can be er...well interesting! (grin)

->  HN> cassaroles for the "busy" days....but it isn't so we make do!
-> 
-> I know the feeling but I also like having meals ready for if I don't
-> feel like cooking or have had a busy enough day and don't want to cook.
-> It's also nice to have something available for quick give away as
-> circumstances warrant.
-> 
We like to do that as well but with a smaller freezer it takes a bit more 
planning.
chat with you soon
