==================================
Hi Nancy,

 RH> And we're back in the low 70s, maybe not quite that tomorrow with mid
 RH> to upper 40s at night. Yes, it's NC, not NY I'm talking about. (G)

 NB> At least you're a Little warmer than us... ;)  We've been running the
 NB> furnace in the morning to chase the chill...

We're warming to the upper 80s, maybe low 90s for the next couple of
days, then back down to the low 80s, maybe upper 70s for the week end.
Nights will be nice--not quite hot enoungh for the AC to run constantly
but not quite cool enough for the heat to kick on either.


 RH> It was a nice day for the farmer's market. I think the coffee roaster
 RH> was doing a brisk business; he also has several large thermal pots of
 RH> the various blends brewed up to sell by the cup full.

 NB> Cool enough to have people thinking coffee to warm up with, eh....?

Yes, and I see quite a few people with a cuppa coffee in one hand,
market bags in the other.

 NB> like you  NB>> headed out for NC on Sunday, then...?  Or was it
 NB> Monday...

 RH> Sandwiches with chips & cole slaw for the meal with Mom.

 NB> Still, it was the whole family with Mom... so, that consititutes a MD
 NB> dinner... of sorts... ;)

First one we've had as a family probably since before my older brother
graduated from high school.


 RH> Headed back to NC after church & lunch on Sunday, also ran up to see
 RH> Mom. We drove to just north of Martinsburg, WVA before calling it
 RH> quits for the day.

 NB> Sounds like Steve did ok with the driving for the trip, then...

Overall, yes tho he said he had a few uneasy moments. He'll always have
those now but he's glad to be back behind the wheel.

 RH> Stayed at a Holiday Inn Express--the breakfast the next morning was
 RH> decent (better than most places) but not gourmet. I did have some
 RH> lower carb/fat choices available.

 NB> A lot of the chains are putting a little more thought into their
 NB> breakfast buffets... not always everything I might want, but at least
 NB> enough to make it worth checking it out....  Recently I stayed
 NB> overnight at a Quality Inn in Syracuse, there for a meeting, and was
 NB> able to get something I didn't mind eating for breakfast...

We've seen a lot of places that offer "breakfast" but most of the time
it's only cereal, pancakes or waffles, pastries, etc. A lot of high carb
stuff that I like to avoid, especially first thing in the morning. HIE
had omelettes, bacon, hard boiled eggs, turkey sausage and other good
for my carb count stuff in addition to all the high carb stuff. They had
a sign over their pancake machine "Bet you wish you had one of these at
home" to which Steve said "Nope".
