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

 NB> want it. The master bedroom/bath is  RH>> pretty well set up now.
 NB>  NB>> Master bedroom/bath... kitchen... the two most important rooms
 NB> coming  NB>> together...  definitely progress...  :)

 RH> Yes, we can sleep, get cleaned up and cook (basically) & eat. We can
 RH> also clean up the cooking/eating dishes.

 NB> Got the basics now...  ;)

Basics, and some of the little nice touches. Two towel racks in the
master bathroom now instead of one. Some Christmas lights and grenery on
the front porch, another pile of boxes building up to go out back......

 NB>  NB>> That can feel like at least the beginning of the home stretch..
 NB> (G) By  NB>> the time I'm halfway home from a long trip, it certainly
 NB> feels like  NB>> I'm getting into the home stretch, even if I still
 NB> have hours to go  NB>> before I'm actually getting near...  :)

 RH> Sort of like getting past Syracuse when headed to western NY from the
 RH> Catskills. (G) Getting there but know you still have a ways to go.
 RH> OTOH, turning off I-10 in Benson, onto State Route 90, means we're
 RH> almost to the Fort Huachuca/Sierra Vista area, only about 30 miles, but
 RH> it feels like we're coming home. We get some of the same feeling when
 RH> we get off I-85 on to US 1, heading towards Raleigh. (I can just see
 RH> you digging out your Rand McNally, checking out the routing.--G--)

 NB> Actually I could easily picture all but the Arizona scenario fine.. ;)
 NB> But, yes, that's the sort of thing I had in mind...  ;)

The AZ one is the one we thought would be the one we'd be living, until
the life track took a different turn than we'd anticipated.

 NB>  NB>> Pretty much basic choices.  :)

 RH> Yes, I needed something with protein or I might have gone for their
 RH> spinach salad and a side of garlic bread. I've done that in the past,
 RH> several times.

 NB> I haven't eaten at Applebee's too many times, and pretty much every
 NB> time I have trouble finding something that fits what I want... but
 NB> then I apparently have weird tastes and dietary concerns...

Sometimes nothing sounds appealing, there or other places, so I have to
really do some looking to find something I'll be happy with. Sometimes
I'll see something that looks really good, then I'll check the carb
count and it's astronomically high (Rats!). Then it's time to regroup
and figure out what else might be good. Other times I'll have a pretty
good idea of what I want and it's a reasonable one, carb wise. Then I'm
a happy camper. (G)

 NB> same
 NB>  NB>>> motel that went out...
 NB>  RH>> Everybody was in a chocolate mood? It was a toss up between that
 NB> and  RH>> the strawberry cheesecake; we may go back some time to try
 NB> that.
 NB>  NB>> Apparently... they were out of a lot of things, particularly
 NB> dessert-y  NB>> things, that night...  It seemed like, from what the
 NB> waitress was  NB>> saying, that they'd had a much heavier than
 NB> anticipated patronage that  NB>> night, and were out of a lot of
 NB> things...  IIRC, butter was one of  NB>> them...  ;0

 RH> You sure it wasn't some holiday where everybody goes out to eat, like
 RH> Mother's Day or Valentine's Day? Sounds like they really got slammed
 RH> with customers.

 NB> The last is probably true... but it wasn't anything special that I was
 NB> aware of... it was the weekend after Columbus Day weekend...  But it
 NB> was a Friday night, so that might have had something to do with it...
 NB> :)

It's possible; we half thought that everybody in Savannah went out for
Italian food on Friday nights. Had to get to OG or Carrabba's before the
crowds came, about 5:45 or so.
