Hi Hap,

->  hn> how will your leg/foot do with stairs?

-> We'll see; the cast came off today but need to schedule a CT scan.  As
-> I'm wearing a regular shoe on my left foot for the first time since
-> sometime this spring.

 hn> Don't let the new Doc's push you too hard! You only have those two
 hn> feet and they have to last you a bit more time!

No I won't.  This guy has more years of experience than the ones I saw
in HI.  He said that usually he handles stress fractures in the foot
with wrapping in an ace bandage and having the person use a cane but
that obviously I need something more.   At the same time, he's not
wanting to go in with a bone graft and plate unless he sees it's
warranted by a new CT scan.

-> Their advertising is cute and the basic sandwich tastes better than a
-> hamburger IMO.  I had it a few times before Steve went into the Army
-> when we lived in NC--didn't know I'd be missing it until we started our
-> travels with the military.  I've pretty much stopped eatig fries,

 hn> I only ate at the one, and they don't have em out here in the wet west
 hn> so I remember the billboards more than the meal! (Grin)


The billboards do get the attention, that's for sure! One opened up in
Surprise, AZ 3 years ago and does a lot of business.  I've been in it a
couple of times and it was busy both times.

 hn> Does Steve like to hunt or fish? You are in a great area for both!

No, he's not into either.  I guess he did a bit when he was younger
because his dad was into it but just wasn't that interested as he got
older.

->  hn> How are the girls by the way, and the grandbabys? What kind of car
 hn> did
->  hn> you get?  How did your foot/leg do with all the travelling?
 hn> ->
-> The girls are doing well; Rachel and family are settled in up in Las
-> Vegas.  Robert goes to the preschool associated with the private school
-> where Rachel teaches 3rd grade.  David works at that campus and the

 hn> So David got out of the Airforce? (I probably missed that!) When Anne
 hn> and I go to vegas we stay off the strips at a holiday Inn and use
 hn> Vegas as a center of operations for all the other neat places that are

 hn> hours west, and the Grand
 hn> Canyon is about 5-6 hours east....and Valley of Fire State Park is

Ever go up Charleston Mountain some 30 miles north of the city?  We did
with the kids and a family from Challenger Schools--some spectacular
scenery!  David left active duty in June; he was hit by a reduction in
force.  (Air Force didn't know they let a good guy go.)  He'd done a lot
of advance work and had lined up a job with Challenger; they also hired
Rachel as a teacher.

 hn> just north of vegas. LOTS of good scenery for a photo junkie like me!
 hn> We did remember to go to the casino's once while we were there but we
 hn> had more fun things to do than give our money away that fast!

-> Deborah keeps quite busy with her job and keeping after her puppy in off
-> time.  She's still with the AZ National Guard, over in the Mesa/Tempe

 hn> Deborah has her bachelors in teaching yes? Does she have a specialty?

Deborah doesn't have a degree yet; Rachel has her bachelors in
elementary education and is about half done with her masters.


-> My foot did OK on the trip; it was a bother getting about with the cast
-> & cane but better than a non walking cast & crutches.  We bought an 07
-> Ford Focus SES (wagon); it held all our stuff nicely.  We picked up a
-> nothing completly unreasonable.  We can fill the gas tank a lot cheaper
-> than we did in HI. (G)

 hn> A LOT cheaper!

When we left, it was $3.13/9 a gallon on post.  We did pay under $2.00/
gallon in South Carolina.
