 RH>> We didn't use the texting until we moved up here, then Rachel said
 RH>> she'd send pictures of the kids that way.
 NB>> Didn't know that was possible... probably isn't with my phone,
 NB>> anyway....  ;)

 RH> Depends on the phone; you might be able to. Does it have a camera?
 
A camera...?  On MY phone....?    (G)  Nope, mine is a dumb phone... :)

 RH>> Went from that to smart phones and the rest is history. Initially,
 RH>> Steve had wanted a phone that just made calls, nothing more, until the
 RH>> smart technology came out. Then the techno-geek changed his mind. (G)
 NB>> Some people just have to have the newest techno stuff...  My uncle
 NB>> tended to be that way...  :)

 RH> I tend to be a generation or so behind, unless Steve gets me the
 RH> latest & greatest, then makes me learn it "sink or swim". 

Richard isn't so much a techno-geek...  He's usually up on the newest
technologies, but doesn't think he needs the newest and greatest...
content to use older technology.  And I'm content with whatever
technology lets me do what I need to do.  :)

 RH> We got 2
 RH> identical net books a few years ago when he thought he was going to
 RH> deploy, thinking that if something went wrong with mine, he could
 RH> figure it out on his and send me instructions on how to fix it.

That makes sense.  On more than one level...  :)

 NB>>> Ah...  So, if I'm going to keep an eye out for it, it needs to
 NB>>> be in your area...  ;)
 RH>> Yes, so when are you headed to the east central NC area?
 NB>> Nothing anywhere near even tentatively planned... ;)  Maybe in a
 NB>> few years if/when the finances ease up a bit, I can plan a genealogy
 NB>> trip, but that costs money we sure don't have now...  ;)  If by any
 NB>> wild chance you're still around the area by then, I could try to
 NB>> touch base then...  ;)

 RH> IF we're still in the area. Steve is going to be sending out resumes
 RH> shortly; we'll see what comes of that.

Exactly what I was thinking...  :)

 RH> You're still welcome to come and check out the ice cream. (G)

If/when I get there, I probably will... whenever/whyever...  ;)

 RH>> I don't want to try to bring any to the picnic, and no guarantee
 RH>> he'd have ginger at that time anyway.
 NB>> True... One would probably have to pack it in dry ice to keep it
 NB>> frozen... ;)  I wasn't even hinting at that at all...  :)

 RH> I know, we're debating going part way on Thursday, finishing on Friday
 RH> & don't want to try to keep ice cream that long. Steve has an afternoon
 RH> appointment in Durham that Thursday so we can't leave before then.

I know how that goes... :)  A familiar juggling act...  ;)

 RH> Do plan on some goodies tho, from us.

Ok.  :)
