Hi Hap,

 hn> I have a garmin but I seldom use it while I am
 hn> driving it's just too distracting...of course it's
 hn> not a "talking" one so I have to look at the screen!

It does help to have this one talk to Steve.  It has several different
languages programmed in, with a male and female voice for each. We
generally keep it on the (American) English guy.

-> 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

 hn> Lots of neat things off the beaten path!

For sure!  Found some good ice cream in western NY 7 years ago. (G)

->  HN> Much closer to the grandson and both daughters!

-> Definately!  And knock your socks off sunsets!  BTW, I got a fantastic

-> 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

 hn> they are all signed and numbered and ready to go!

You should have the picture before you get this message.  We've been
working on our Chirstmas mail out; it includes a picture of one of my
quilts this year.

->  HN> Has two doc appts on Wednesday so we'll see

OK, sounds like you may have to ease off on the carbs and sweets for
her. She sounds sweet enough that she shouldn't need too many extra
ones. (G)

Sounds like the way I was with singular back in Feb, 06.  My
pulminologist in HI never thought I'd react the way I did (nor did I as
far as that goes) but in retrospect, he wasn't too surprised.  He'd been
working with me for 5 years at that point.  Had a great check up with my
pulminologist out here yesterday, a so-so one (change in one med) today
with my regular doctor.

Meanwhile, keep Anne on good food, lots of rest and lots of support.
Can't say one is more important than the others, but all 3 will work
wonders for her.
