==========================
Howdy Ruth!

Our temps have been down to the high 30's at night 
and we've even had a few days when we had frost!
Nothing into the 20's yet though!

->

->

I just find Phoenix to be too crowded, Tucson is 
much nicer with a "small town" feel to it and a 
whole lot easier to get around! 

-> 
-> -> Surprisingly. Savannah doesn't get hit as hard as a lot of other places

-> 
->  hn> Amen!
-> 
-> And we will be out of the area before summer of 09.
-> 

AND you'll be able to CHOOSE the next destination!!

-> ->  hn> A combination of factors. lack of funds

-> 
-> -> Oh well, if you really wanted to go back, you'd deal with it all. (G) We

->

-> 
-> I can see where that would. I'd feel the same way with Steve.
-> 

Yup, Not many things are as much fun without
Annie there! When we were first married we 
had our first three months in Hawaii, s for us
it's a  very special "us" place. 

-> ->  hn> a drought going on the air is still so humid you can't dry off

-> 
-> -> I know the feeling--too well.
-> 
->  hn> You'll be able to choose your roost one of

-> 
-> Right now it's still a dream--but a lot closer than it ever has been.
-> 
-> 
and closer every day!
