 NB>>> are all from the 6th... :)
 RH>> So these replies are to messages over a month old. Travel and (I
 RH>> think) a glitch in the system...................
 NB>> Yup...  But they'll move to current soon enough, no doubt... :)

 RH> Yes, and be part of the big catch up. Done with some parts of it, not
 RH> others. 

Just have to keep plugging along... ;)

 RH> Made it to the farmer's market today (early, actually) and got
 RH> some spinach and carrots, as well as some other goodies.

Getting back into the normal routines... :)

 NB>>> headway on the eating things down... ;)  Good that you got the
 NB>>> inventory/defrost accomplished before leaving, too... one less
 NB>>> thing to worry about when you make it back home...  :)
 RH>> It saved us from having to hit the grocery store as soon as we got
 RH>> home. I'll be going to the farmer's market on Saturday to replenish the
 RH>> fresh veggies but we've been eating from the freezer some that I froze,
 RH>> as well as pre done meats.
 NB>> That worked out well... :)

 RH> It did; I bought some meats, taking advantage of the 25% off sale at
 RH> Lowe's last week. Last of those is in a pot of chili on the stove.
 
Any of those end up in the freezer...?
 
 RH>>> We're picking up an R-Pod this week.
 NB>>> Done, and shaken down pretty well by now...  ;)
 RH>> Somewhere between 5 & 6k miles on it already.
 NB>> Yup.  :)

 RH> And some improvements done on it since we got back home. Some of the
 RH> tweaks added more storage space, some improved what was already there.

Having figured out what was needed or could be improved... :)

 RH>> I've learned to make the small sacrifices over the past few years.
 RH>> Most often, turning down cookies and such like doesn't bother me like
 RH>> it did initially. Now, if I really want a sweet, I make sure I eat a
 RH>> good bit of protein to balance it, either before or after having the
 RH>> sweet. The offer of cookies, etc was late enough at night that my
 RH>> reading the next morning would have been high as I didn't want to do
 RH>> the protein balance then.
 NB>> It's less of a sacrifice when one weighs the risk/benefit ratio...
 NB>> and when one knows how to balance the indulgence, it's more a
 NB>> calculation, as well...  :)

 RH> Yes, limiting myself lets me enjoy a bit of something, without "paying
 RH> for it" with a super high reading the next day.
 
Exactly.

 RH>> Very much so, we were always been members of a church off post when
 RH>> Steve was active duty. Even tho some had a lot of military members
 RH>> in them, there were always some members that were older, civilian as
 RH>> well.
 NB>> That's how my grandmother's church was back in the day... in
 NB>> Annapolis, they tended to draw quite a few midshipmen from the
 NB>> Academy... but also drew from the faculty, among whom was my uncle who
 NB>> had been instrumental in getting the church started in the first
 NB>> place...  :)  And as well, there were others from the civilian
 NB>> population looking for a good church... :)

 RH> Probably a good number of churches started that way around military
 RH> installations. Probably a lot of single service members were invited
 RH> home for Sunday dinner afterward also. (G)

This one wasn't primarily for serving the military, although it ended up
as such... :)  And yes, quite a few midshipmen spent many a Sunday
dinner at someone's home... ;)  One of them married my cousin, even... ;)

 RH>> When we were in TX. I teamed up with the city attorney for
 RH>> Copperas Cove for Trivial Pursuit when our church had a game night.
 RH>> (We came in 2nd, fell down in the entertainment category.)
 NB>> Not all that shabby, all the same... ;)

 RH> No, and a lot of fun was had by all.

I can well imagine...  :)
