Hi Hap,

Got them well trained? Of course you have to be really quiet to get some
nature shots; do you use sign language? (G)

->  HN> museum, or even an interesting cafe for
->  HN> tea and coffee.

-> Steve's not all that into art so it would have to be a park or museum
-> that interested both of us, with a stop at the cafe afterward to rest my
-> feet.

 HN> We stop to rest our feet too!
 HN> A nice glass of ice Tea and
 HN> a shady spot to watch the
 HN> world go by is a great way
 HN> to spend some time together.

And it can be really intersting people watching. I used to (don't do it
as much any more) like to observe what people put in their grocery
buggies; there could be a lot read into the contents of one.

->  HN> Sounds interesting and fun!
 HN> ->
-> It was, the rub was St. Louis style tho, not Memphis. We went there for
-> supper last night. I had the pulled pork with the Lexington sauce,

 HN> What is the differences you noted between
 HN> St Louis dry rub and Memphis dry rub?

I'm not sure, have to do some research on the spicing of them. But,
these are the squared off ribs.

->  HN> places specialize in sculpture, some in

We still know a lot of folks in the area. Steve sent one, a cat lover, a
link to an internet clip of a cat piano today. Should be interesting to
see how the area has changed since we were last there in September of
06. Savannah had (in the area where we "ran around in) quite a few
changes we noticed when we stopped briefly in January, first time back
since August of 09.


->  HN> to enjoy. As far as restaurants go, we also

-> We might do that too, especially if a menu is posted so we can check it

 HN> For a one time excursion we say
 HN> forget the wallet. A new experience
 HN> is often worth the price!

We still like to keep things to a reasonable level for the most part.
Right now, trying to save up for a move by not doing a lot of travel
(much as I'd like to get out west to see grand kids again) and paying
off credit cards completely.

->  HN> If I remember correctly the Phoenix
->  HN> Zoo is in Papago park, which is sort

-> I'm not sure on the location; we went after dark and I didn't catch all
-> the landmarks. Deborah was living in Mesa then, actually about a 10
-> minute drive from the zoo, IIRC.

->  HN> Mesa, and Scottsdale. It's hard to tell
->  HN> when you leave one and enter another!

-> If that isn't the truth.....................

 HN> Oh lordy yes!!

And add in Gilbert, Queen Creek, Peoria, Glendale, etc, etc.

->  HN> it and gives you a lot of chances to

-> Lived there, done that. Actually, Fort Huachuca was high desert, main
-> parade field flag pole was just about a mile in elevation. We did visit
-> the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson also.

 HN> We enjoy the Sonoran Desert museum as well
