Hi Hap,

-> -> other minor ones; Karchner was disappointing.

->  HN> I'm sure I'll eventually get the chance
->  HN> to see the caverns. We'll be going
->  HN> back to visit AZ one of these days..
->  HN> right now we are in Sandy eggo and
->  HN> will be here for the rest of the week.

-> I know you like to go to the gem & mineral show in Tucson so you should
-> be able to get to Karchner Caverns. Maybe by the time you do, we'll be
-> in the area & can get together.

 HN> It is on the list for the future. If
 HN> we get down there and you are in the
 HN> area we'd sure  try to get together!

For sure! as you know, there's lots of choices of places to eat in
Tucson, even more in the surrounding area. Last I knew, Don Teodoro's
was still going in Tombstone. Had my first taste of tortilla soup there.
->  HN> What can I say...he's been nuts for
->  HN> a long time! He does make some spectacular
->  HN> instruments though!

-> And you've shot pictures at the luthiers convention & otherwise, I
-> presume.

 HN> Of course!

Not at all surprised. (G)

-> -> Sewing/quilting stores are my coffee shops. (G)

->  HN> My mom used to make lots of quilts..
->  HN> but she's not steady enough to do that
->  HN> any more.

-> Can she run a sewing machine & do them that way?  Haven't heard any
-> updates recently so I presume she's doing well. Planting a garden for
-> putting up?

 HN> I'n not sure her hands are steady enough
 HN> to run a machine anymore. She's on oxygen
 HN> 24 hours a day now and is much more frail.

That's too bad--if she's like most people, in her mind she can't see
that she's slowed down but her body knows. Can she hand piece if someone
threads the needle? I'm not thinking of tiny little pieces, but
something like 6" or so squares might work.

-> The not so fun part of growing up..................

 HN> We are currently being reminded of
 HN> that...Anne's back went out while we
 HN> were walking in San Diego...and we
 HN> are spending more time in the hotel
 HN> room than out exploring.

But, you're together, and away from home. (G)
