Ärende: Thanksgiving
====================
Hi Hap,

-> Yes, and we're considering doing Thanksgiving here next year. Ran into
-> the same problem on I-75 last year (but 301 was clear) so this year we
-> "bailed" at the first possible exit.

 HN> It's good to know the "alternate" routes!

Very much so!  Even tho the "widget" (our name for the GPS) didn't
understand until we hit the Detour button. (G) At times that thing is
helpful as all get out, other times, it's very annoying. It has been a
big help but other times I want to throttle it. (G)  It still wanted to
put us back on I-75 several times.

By getting off the road, we stopped at a souvenier shop/gas place for a
rest stop.  Picked up a jar of orange butter to try--turns out to be a
slightly less bitter (and smooth) version of orange marmalade. Not at
all whatI was expecting taste wise, especially since they had samples of
fresh, sweet, juicy oranges at the check out.

->  HN> at least) and no matter where I go, I'm

we want -> to resettle in southeastern AZ. HN> ->

Definately!  And knock your socks off sunsets!  BTW, I got a fantastic
shot of one here last night.  Steve called, told me to look outside and
if I could, grab a camera.  I got our older digital and shot several
pictures, shot a few more a few minutes later. When Steve got home and
took a look at what I got, he was amazed at one, especially.  It's a
once in a lifetime sunset in GA shot--want to see it?


->  HN> We had a nice quiet day, it was wonderful!

-> In retrospect, the calm before the storm?

 HN> Yep indeed! But she's fine now and I'm a happy
 HN> camper! She just got home from work and is
 HN> still feeling good...and her stamina is fine!
 HN> Has two doc appts on Wednesday so we'll see
 HN> what happens from there!

Hopefully all will be fine. I have to see my pulminologist tomorrow (and
fill him in on all that's transpired since I saw him in early June), my
regular doctor on Thursday (routine) and my orthopedic doctor a week
from Friday.  Regular, 10 months post surgery follow up there.  I've
come to the conclusion the foot will always be a problem; as far as I
know, nothing more can be done and it still gives me trouble.
