well, there haven't been any appropriate jobs for Mike posted for there! But
our 3 most serious job possibilities right now all come with 4 bedroom
housing, leaving lots of room for guests.  And this job north of Buffalo is
only about 25 miles from Niagara Falls!

Wester NC is our goal for retirement, but first Mike has to put in enough
years for health insurance to be included in the pension.

Better take a couple of snow shovels with up there!
Or you could just hibernate for the winter.
LOL  (that can mean lots of love, too)

Well, the town near Buffalo actually *isn't* in the big Buffalo snowbelt -
that is Buffalo and to the south, Lockport is to the north.  That said, we
own 4, count 'em four snows hovels now!  We had one for each car, though the
Toyota just reached the end of its service this week.  And we have 2 for home
so we can shovel together, but also with different blade types for dry or wet
snow.  These are things i never learned about growing up in north Florida!  
LOL  I shoveled yesterday, Mike did today, we expect a couple more inches
tonight......

sure!  this morning the overnight snow was quite dry, making it easy to
shovel.  Of course, it was so dry, because it was quite cold.  (now, at 3:30
pm it's finally reached a toasty 15 degrees F!)  I wasn't even getting warm
until I'd finished our drive and done half of our neighbor/friend's drive
(she truly can't shovel, so we often do hers if she hasn't already been
plowed).  It was such nice snow to shovel, I even did our other elderly
widowed neighbor who we don't really know beyond saying hello to.  "bleak
midwinter" is much more meanngful to us these days!  Still, snow shoveling is
good exercise and does help get the blood flowing.  Just don't tell my RD how
much of it i do.

Please don't do so much at one time Nann.  If you have a gas powered blower,
its one thing but that shovel has killed lots of people but you know that
and I am wasting my breath. :-)

It's a good point that's always worth remembering, Harv.  Lately we've been
having dry snow, which you basically scoot off to the side.  No strain there,
We have to pace ourselves and watch though with wet heavy snow - such as we
expect Monday pm and mos of Tuesday.  That's when our neighbors often have to
pay the plow as our drive is all we can handle.  Might do Phyllis's (the
neighbor/friend) if both of us are shoveling that day - her drive is much
shorter than ours and easier to shovel.

Bellingham is having snow right now. It's SO pretty out there! And I'm
so glad that I'm retired and don't have to worry about driving in it
tomorrow!

I was supposed to take Dundee to the birdie store tomorrow, but we'll
have to wait till Thursday when this is all cleared.  It's his birthday
(well, actually his hatch day :)) tomorrow. He'll be 8 years old which
is still young for a cockatiel :) He's such a sweetie. We have to go to
the birdie store to get him some new toys :))  Is he spoiled??  Hell,
yes :-)))

I live in Columbia with my Mom on the northeast side of town, right at the
intersection of I77 and SC12 (near I20 and I77).  It makes it easy to tell
if the rain is going to hit us!  My oldest son is the service manager at
Best Buy in Myrtle Beach.  He lives there with his wife, Cyndi, and step
daughter, Emily.  I've not been to Beaufort, though.

Cyndi's family, the Lowes, are from Conway.  Many of her relatives still
live there.  Her mother just died a couple of months ago - Flora Lowes.

DeeTee and Bob Taggart - 18 Jan 2008 18:32 GMT
DeeTee is okay. I actually stood up a while ago without using my hands! That
was a milestone as far as I'm concerned. I'm getting lots of rest each day
just as I am supposed to. I see the surgeon for my follow-up on Jan 29th and
am SO looking forward to being released back into the wild. If he says it's
okay, I am going to start back on the treadmill. Cindy showed us how it's
done.

Yippee!!!  I fully understand the joy of getting up without using your hands.
After that biopsy, for the longest time I had to do convoluted things to get
up. It was interesting getting up from exam tables at the doctors' offices!  
The best way to get up had some of them fearing I'd fall off and hurt myself
more!  LOL

Truly excellent to hear you are sleeping better - most likely healing better
for that also.  as for the images evoked by the thought of releasing you out
in the wild again........  well, I won't go there.....
