Hi Hap,

->  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.........

 hn> I can't argue with you one bit on that! We really liked the area
 hn> around Bisbee and Karchner Caverns, but the Tucson area is very nice
 hn> as well. And for the short time that we go there Tucson is as good a
 hn> basecamp as we could want!

Yes, it's good for short term stays but for living, I'd rather be in
Cochise County.  Did you ever go thru Karchner Cavers?  We did, in
summer of 2000, and were somewhat disappointed in several aspects of it.
BTW, if you go to Bisbee again, check out the Killer Bee honey store.
Saw them on the Food Network a while back.


->  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.

 hn> Same here, we leave Thursday for a short visit down with Amanda...Anne
 hn> decided that we "needed to go see her" (read that as ANNE needed to go
 hn> see her, I'm just along as the driver {grin}) So I am running around
 hn> getting all the

Admit it, you want to see her too. (G)  Enjoy your trip.  I'm a day
behind in things as I got floored by a migraine again yesterday.

 hn> little errands done before we head out.

Yes, we did some of that today.  Got a bigger cooler for the car so we
can carry more munchies, also took advantage of some sales at Hancock
Fabrics. (G)

-> 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.

 hn> Hmmm, Anne just throws something at me...I usually respond by the
 hn> third or fourth shot (grin).

Kinda hard if he's upstairs and I'm downstairs or vice versa. This place
is big enough we lose more in the up/downstairs dead zone anyway--much
more than we did in HI.

->  HN> Oh yes! (grin) Anne's mom will be coming out in July/aug and the two

-> And are you going to try & get a quick trip back to the east coast in
-> over the last week end of July?

 hn> Nope, sadly not gonna happen, Anne's mom will be out here for her
 hn> yearly visit and we'll be busy running hotel hap till the second week
 hn> in august.

I knew you were thinking abut coming out for the week end--guess you
couldn't get Anne's ticket from her.

-> -> 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)

 hn> Yep! Interesting can be er...well interesting! (grin)

Better than bored.

->  HN> cassaroles for the "busy" days....but it isn't so we make do!
 hn> ->
-> 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.

 hn> We like to do that as well but with a smaller freezer it takes a bit
 hn> more planning.

For sure!  My freezer is quite full now but I can find room for a few
more things if I do some re-arrainging.  OTOH, the fridge freezer is
almost empty.
