9:44 am

yes, very pricey....my mother used to make lobster stew every Christmas Eve....
9:46 am
cybernan
I wouldn't mind so much if we could get decent sized lobster, but the largest ones they ever get in here are 1-1/2 pounders and so much of it is shell
9:46 am
penquis
well i guess we are lucky we can get it....
9:47 am
penquis
i did not buy our lobster, so I don't know how much it was or how large the lobsters were....
9:50 am

9:53 am
penquis
i can here in the summer....not now....we do have a fish market here in town....
9:55 am
cybernan
yes - tht is where we get ours (Codfather's) but by the time they tack the air freight and middleman charges on it gets awfully pricy
9:56 am

We all got together in N Carolina for Thanksgiving. I didn't have to pay anything..... what a great early Christmas present, everyone together in a house in the Smokies, with nooooooo internet
7:57 pm
hokie carla
Bryson City?
7:57 pm
grannyrose
excuse my ignorance as geography was never my forte. Charleston is how far from Nashville.
7:59 pm
Sophie512
close to Banner Elk in North Carolina
7:59 pm
Sophie512
the drive was about 4 to 5 hours for each of us....I fly, so it's an hour from Nashville to Charleston for me...about 9 to 10 hours driving
8:00 pm
hokie carla
ah. we have thought twice in the last 3 years we might want to move there and then visited and decided we wouldn't like to.
8:00 pm
Sophie512
move where?
8:01 pm
Sophie512
Nashville or Charleston
8:01 pm
hokie carla
granny, no need to apologize for geography questions - you live in another country. I struggle with US geography and I live here.
8:01 pm
hokie carla
move to Banner Elk
8:01 pm
hokie carla
or Beech Mt
8:03 pm
grannyrose
thanx Carla. i'm pretty good with Aussie stuff as we have done a lot of traveling around this big island. also Europe, and the UK. been there twice. still haven't seen all i want to see.
8:03 pm
Sophie512
The Nashville fam is going to Beech Mt for their big Christmas present....... I will stay at their house, take my dog, keep their 2,,,,, fine with me, don't think I'm going to learn to snow ski at my age :)
8:04 pm
hokie carla
I hope there's snow for them.
8:04 pm
Sophie512
Ok, going to go zap something for supper. Night all. Enjoyed the game and conversation tonight! God Bless.
8:05 pm
hokie carla
I skied a few times at Sugar Mt. and Beech Mt. when I was a teenager. Grew up a couple of hours north.
8:06 pm
hokie carla
good night!
8:07 pm
hokie carla
granny, I have only been to Canada, Mex, & some Caribbean. would love to see Australia if it didn't take so long to get there and there weren't so many poisonous critters. 😠Would love to see parts of Europe.
8:09 pm
grannyrose
enjoy your evening Sophie. will you be back for the flip?
8:11 pm
grannyrose
Carla, i so wanted to come see the USA. but my health has been on a steady decline for some years. my mobility has almost completely gone. but i am back in the hot water pool, exercising, and slowly improving again. i am hoping a few more weeks and i will tolerate the gym agan.
8:12 pm
hokie carla
I'm sorry to hear that. my mom is having mobility issues too. I know it's tough.
8:13 pm
grannyrose
my pain doc says he has never met anyone so stubborn when it comes to my pain issues. he has to squeeze details out of me.
8:16 pm
hokie carla
well, squeezing details sounds painful too 😜
8:18 pm
grannyrose
lol...
8:19 pm
grannyrose
my hubby is, of course, my carer. he comes into consults with me, and i often catch the doc and him exchanging glances. lol....
8:21 pm
hokie carla
that's good you have him to help
8:23 pm
grannyrose
this may sound strange but i can only describe it as that he has a mother's heart. very nurturing. not saying men aren't nurturing. but there is a gentleness and forethought too in a mother's heart.
8:23 pm
hokie carla
that's sweet
8:33 pm
hokie carla
like slang for bad food? what it will do to your insides.
8:33 pm
hokie carla
oh, it's actually cheap liquor
8:37 pm
hokie carla
