 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... ;)

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

Wow... that's a long time ago... definitely overdue..  ;)

 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...

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

One can adjust to that... I'm sure he is glad to be back driving,
though...  :)

 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...

 RH> We've seen a lot of places that offer "breakfast" but most of the time
 RH> it's only cereal, pancakes or waffles, pastries, etc. A lot of high
 RH> carb stuff that I like to avoid, especially first thing in the morning.
 RH> HIE had omelettes, bacon, hard boiled eggs, turkey sausage and other
 RH> good for my carb count stuff in addition to all the high carb stuff.

The place I was had the hard boiled eggs, some sort of flat sausage
patties, along with the waffle maker, various pastries/bagels/muffins,
cereals (including instant oatmeal packets)... I didn't pay a lot of
attention to some parts of it...  Coffee and fruit juices, too, of
course...  no omelettes, though... and all self-serve...  although there
was someone that was regularly refreshing the supply of items...

 RH> They had a sign over their pancake machine "Bet you wish you had one
 RH> of these at home" to which Steve said "Nope".

chuckle...  :)
