 NB>> I have a little more time nowadays than I've had for years... in
 NB>> the last year, two of the ladies I was managing care for died, 
 NB>> and the third moved to be with family in Arkansas... so now my
 NB>> calendar isn't filled with their appointments and needs...

 RH> Nice to have an empty calendar, isn't it? 

EmptiER, anyway...  ;)  Last week and this, I seem to have something
happening each day... mostly my appointments, but one is for my mom.

 RH> After I finished school
 RH> here, I thought I'd have a lot of extra time to catch up on projects.
 RH> Not so; it seems there's always something going on to take my time away
 RH> from what I should be doing. 

Yup... that's the way it happens...  :)

 RH> I'm taking a break from basting waste
 RH> canvas on a Double wedding Ring quilt--some of the inner circles will
 RH> have things like our initials, wedding date, etc stitched in them. The
 RH> waste canvas lets me do a neater job of the stitching.
 
That sounds like a nice project.  :)

 NB>> We certainly do have a number of Indian restaurants... in fact,
 NB>> there's three of them right around the plaza where Tandoor is...
 NB>> and at least two others within about a mile or two..  And another
 NB>> I often go to isn't that far away from that area...

 RH> Throw a stone, hit an Indian place? When we were living in AZ, it

Just about.  :)

 RH> seemed like there were a lot of Chinese places in Sierra Vista. When we
 RH> went back there earlier this month, it appeared some had closed. I
 RH> guess they were all similar enough that some had to give way so others
 RH> could make a profit.

Maybe the clientele population dropped... or maybe some of the owners
decided they'd had enough of the business.  One of the little Chinese
hole-in-the-wall places I sometimes do lunch with a friend at, the
owners decided to retire, turned the place over to someone else.  Then a
little while later, checking out a different place, lo and behold there
they were again.  They turned that one over after a while... and the
next thing I knew, they'd gone back to the original location... where
they still are.  :)
 
 RH> Tonight would be good to have the oven going for baking a pie (tho the
 RH> raisin pie is almost all non bake). We've had snow, sleet & freezeing
 RH> rain since late morning; I did have the oven going to roast some
 RH> butternut squash and beets.

That's nasty weather for sure!  I'll take single digits and light snow
over that hands down... [G]  I've been doing a few more oven-prepared
things lately, too...  :)
