 NB>> I'd not expect them to be getting snow... Arizona and Nevada,
 NB>> right...? and not in the mountains...  ;)

 RH> About a half hour's drive from Rachel is Mount Charleston; it gets
 RH> plenty of snow in the winter (visible from where they live). She has
 RH> also sent pictures of her kids playing in the snow down in LV.

Even with snow visible it wouldn't necessarily be much snow where they
were...  :)

 RH> OTOH, Deborah doesn't get much snow in the just south of Phoenix area
 RH> but other parts of the state get it. We had it every winter in Fort
 RH> Huachuca, in varying amounts. The Flagstaff area has enough snow that
 RH> they have several ski resorts.
 
When our son lived in Phoenix Valley, he'd kinda tried to get us to at
least think about moving out there, citing the northern part of Arizona
as being closer to what we'd be happy with, especially their snow...
Didn't fly, of course... and he's no longer living out there anyway, so
it wouldn't have been that good an idea after all, even on that aspect.

 RH>> She may have saved you some pie--that's an early hour to eat. Did she
 RH>> do the turkey before or get up really early to put it into the oven?
 RH>> Steve smoked ours on Wednesday; we ate about 3:30 yesterday.
 NB>> There probably was pie left over, true... and had we gone down later,
 NB>> probably would have been able to have some.  She might have put the
 NB>> turkey in the oven the night before, dunno... I didn't ask her.  She's
 NB>> got a fancy oven, though, so it could have started the cooking middle
 NB>> of the night, for all I know..  :)

 RH> So you could have, but just chose not to go for left overs either. I
 RH> don't know if I would have left a stuffed bird in an oven set to turn
 RH> itself on several hours later. It sounds like a case of food poisoning
 RH> waiting to happen; I'd have gotten up early or stayed up late to put
 RH> the bird in. Either that or scheduled dinner slightly later in the day.

She might well have gotten it started late the night before... I'm not
sure how late she'd normally be up...  :)  I think this is the earliest
she's ever scheduled dinner for, but I might not be remembering other
years...
 
 RH>> We're going up to a seafood place in Rolesville for supper as
 RH>> yesterday was the 40th anniversary of when Steve proposed, then
 RH>> took me out for seafood.
 RH>> (Later)
 RH>> Instead of going up to Rolesville we went to the NC Seafood
 RH>> restaurant at the NC state farmer's market.
 NB>> Still seafood, though... :)   What caused the change in plans...?

 RH> Steve wanted to go to Harbor Freight in Raleigh. And, I figured as
 RH> long as we were out, I'd check out a specific sale at Belk's.
 
Ah.  Combining trips is a good thing... :)  And it sounds like you found
yourself another winner for your list, as well... :)
 
 NB>> Sounds pretty good... :)   And with all the work you are doing,
 NB>> probably the extra carbs didn't do much damage at all...

 RH> No, my morning readings have been really good the last few weeks,
 RH> what with all the packing activity. I was kind of heavy carb pushing
 RH> last Saturday but readings were still decent.

Your body is doing a lot better at adjusting for different
circumstances, sounds like..   :)

 RH>> On the way home we stopped at Harbor Freight for Steve to get a work
 RH>> bench (and a few odds & ends,), then at Belk's. I was going to get
 RH>> one pair of (dress) boots but at $19.95 each, I got 2.
 NB>> Anniversary presents...?  :)  Useful things, for sure...  :)

 RH> Things for the house, alternative to dress shoes (which I'm having
 RH> trouble finding) for me. I'll find the shoes eventually but right now
 RH> the boots will look good with winter weight clothes.

Now that you'll be settled for a while, it makes sense to invest in a
work bench, after all..  And taking advantage of a sale makes a lot of
sense, too, when one needs something...  :)  Boots are a good idea this
time of year... come spring, you probably will find the shoes you
want...  ;)
