 NB>>> Even with snow visible it wouldn't necessarily be much snow
 NB>>> where they were...  :)
 RH>> No, they just got a dusting--enough that Robert and Sarah had a taste
 RH>> of playing in it tho.
 NB>> About what I figured...  ;)

 RH> But they've both been up to Mount Charleston to play in deeper snow.

Being close enough, that makes sense, too...  A nice experience for
kids...  ;)
 
 RH>> And you seem pretty well settled in NY. Did you ever visit him out
 RH>> there just to see what it was like?
 NB>> We flew out there twice, once in Feb or March, and the other time
 NB>> in November, I think...  different years...  We'd not want to live
 NB>> there, it was ok for a visit.   :)

 RH> I'd rather not live in the Phoenix area; I'd rather live in the
 RH> southeastern corner of the state (in the area where we did live). Got
 RH> some good restaurants down there. (G) It's also about 15-20 degrees
 RH> cooler than the Phoenix area, year round.

The heat of the Phoenix area is what finally convinced our son that he
didn't really want to stay there forever...  ;)
 
 RH>> My grandmother and mom would usually have the meal around 1:30-ish.
 NB>> I think Richard's mom set it for about 2...  that put dessert at
 NB>> about an early supperish time...  :)

 RH> We always had it right after the meal, which doesn't make a lot of
 RH> sense unless you wanted to get all the dishes washed up at once. I
 RH> think that was my mom (and grandmothers) reasoning.

I'd help Mom with the dishes after the meal... and we'd do the dessert
dishes after everyone else had left..  :)  There was no point in trying
to eat dessert right away, since everyone was full to the gills, and
things needed to at least settle, to say nothing of digest...  ;)
 
 RH>> Overall, yes. I'm going to treat myself to a Krispy Kreme doughnut
 RH>> tomorrow morning and work the carbs off all day.
 NB>> Somewhere along the line, I lost my taste for doughnuts... when I
 NB>> finally had a chance to taste a KK, I wasn't terribly impressed... :)

 RH> I'm not impressed but they are sugar fuel for these days I've been
 RH> putting in a lot of work. They've pulled the machinery out of most
 RH> stores now so they aren't as fresh/hot off the line as they used to
 RH> be. 

Never had one fresh off the line... that might have made a little
difference...  ;)  I know that the chinese doughnuts fresh from the
kitchen are the best they can possibly be...  ;)  Those are the only
ones I eat any more, when at all...  :)

 RH>> I'll probably look during the winter too. The boots aren't really
 RH>> snow boots but will work if I'm on cleared paths. I do have some
 RH>> snow boots, actually bought them at the Dick's Sporting Goods shop
 RH>> up in one of the malls in your area 4 years ago.
 NB>> And in Wake Forest, you don't have much need for snow boots generally
 NB>> anyway...  ;)

 RH> There are times..................................but I got them
 RH> mostly for the times we head up north during the winter months.

You'd more likely need them then, true...  :)   I know, sometimes you do
get some snow, and it's better to be prepared...  :)

... The only people who find what they are looking for are fault finders.
