Hiya Ruth!

-> 
-> -> We were in TN last week & tried a Smoky Bones.  First time but I 
thought
-> -> it was really good.  I know, it's a chain but IMO, better than Sticky
-> -> Fingers.
-> 
->  hn> Never been to a Smoky Bones...but I like BBQ!
-> 
-> It was our first time but we enjoyed it. Steve thought the turkey was a

-> best we've eaten (outside of my home made) in a long time.
-> 
Homemade is the best, most of the time!

-> -> So true.  My younger brother lives across the street from my parents 
and

Yes indeed!

-> 
-> -> Sounds like you enjoyed the slower pace of living for a bit.  Only down

-> 
->  hn> Not this time, but when I was a kid it was

LOTS of other food, and some of my favorites.
I behaved myself and did not over indulge. I've 
gained some weight back since my knee problem,
and surely didn't want to add to that problem.
I see the surgeon this week to discuss the MRI
results, and most likely schedule a date for 
surgery on the knee...maybe both...and a shoulder
too. Seems like I am all of a sudden falling to
bits!
chat with you soon!
