Hi Nancy,

 RH> We finally broke into the sun north of Ocala on Friday. Had some
 RH> storms here, since getting home, but overall not bad ones except for
 RH> Thursday night. That one did some straight line wind damage north and
 RH> west of us.

 NB> We only had one really strong storm... and that one was mostly heavy
 NB> rains with some somewhat strong winds, but nothing really bad, and not
 NB> a thunderstorm...   It did, though, keep me at the Pond for an extra
 NB> day at the end of the week...

We're dry again here but in the low 90s. No major chances of rain until
next week. Steve will be hot, but dry while grilling hot dogs tonight
for VBS.

 NB>  NB>> (And with no internet access, these will not be uploaded until I
 NB> get  NB>> home finally... first priority is getting his Jeep up and
 NB> running...)

 RH> Looks like you made it home. (G)

 NB> Yup... for the moment.... (G)

Busy summer of travel?

 NB>  RH>> think there may be a presentation by the pastor also (don't know
 NB>  RH>> for sure because I'm working downstairs then).
 NB>  NB>> So, the evening starts with the program and then procedes to the
 NB>  NB>> cookout...?

 RH> They have the opening worship time, teaching time and then go into the
 RH> program. The first 4 days end (for students) at 8; the last night goes
 RH> a bit longer as families like to linger and visit over the hot dogs and
 RH> chips.

 NB> Ah... Sounds nice....

Usually so. Having the new faucet will help clean up go easier this
year.


 NB>  RH>> Had some brainstorms a few nights ago and came up with all of
 NB>  RH>> the craft ideas for this year. Shouldn't take too much time to
 NB>  RH>> pull things together next week.
 NB>  NB>> Very good... 

 RH> Had a good 3 hour work session with my assistant this afternoon. Got
 RH> things so that we can finish pulling projects together during the
 RH> week. The week after VBS we'll do a reset, getting things pulled
 RH> together for VT.

 NB> Good....   It's all falling into place now.... 

Yes, now it's all done but for the VT reset. Kids really enjoyed the
crafts again this year.

 NB>  NB>>> company, though.... 
 NB>  RH>> Yes, it was a good time. She said that she and her daughter
 NB>  RH>> work that way also.
 NB>  NB>> I'm sure it would make the time go quickly... maybe another
 NB>  NB>> time, you could change off periodically... or take breaks for
 NB>  NB>> you to get up from the machine so you don't stiffen up...

 RH> I made sure I worked out the knee more often. This week we didn't get
 RH> as much done as we did other things (watched a video, started cleaning
 RH> out a cabinet, etc) instead. Got one full and part of a second block
 RH> done.

 NB> Sounds like a lot was accomplished over all, though... 

Quite so; we finished the one block and got another done this week so
we're half done with them. Also got the majority of the cabinet cleaning
done so next week we'll have very little to do on that to finish. Might
get two blocks made also as the next ones look quite easy to assemble.

 NB>  RH>> Agreed, just have to work on the flex for more RoM.
 NB>  NB>> And hopefully that will work out soon...  

 RH> It's coming, bit by bit. Got an exercise to help my back (and
 RH> indirectly the knee) on Friday.

 NB> That sounds good... 

A definate help!

 NB>  RH>> them. Problem is, our figures would suffer in the
 NB> experimentation  RH>> phase. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Quite likely, unless you hit on it in the first or second try...
 NB> 

 RH> Not likely this summer tho. Did get a batch of cherry preserves made
 RH> yesterday, instead. (G)

 NB> Probably a better use of the time... (G)

Much more so! Steve and I worked together yesterday to make a cherry pie
that turned out absolutly yummy. Peaches are in season, all over the
place, so may do a peach pie next week.
