-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 06-27-19  14:35 <=-

 NB>>> Maybe she'll be both... just at different times...    IOW,
 NB>>> a well rounded girl....  (G)
 RH>> I never was the prissy type--preferred trucks and trees to
 RH>> dresses and hair bows.
 NB>> I wasn't prissy either...   Not that tomboy-ish, either, though...

 RH> I lived out in the country--lots of wide open spaces. Great for kite
 RH> flying, neighborhood pick up softball games, sledding............

We were usually in the city or on the outskirts... mostly, though, Daddy
bought houses that had good-sized back yards, so we always had plenty of
space to play all sorts of outdoor games....

 RH>> I do grab an apron for cooking some things now, but have
 RH>> never worn one as much as my mom did.
 NB>> I keep forgetting to grab an apron... (G)

 RH> It's still not an every day thing with me, usually just when I'm doing
 RH> something messy. Frying potatoes or peppers & onions is when I grab it
 RH> most of the time.

I just try not to be too messy...   
 
 RH>>> And we're in a hotter, more humid area right now. Had a dilly
 RH>>> of a thunderstorm last night!
 NB>>> Fun to watch....?     It wasn't too humid over the weekend,
 NB>>> for which I was truly grateful...  
 RH>> We were mostly inside, but driving back to the RV park, we saw
 RH>> some interesting lightning bolts. Back home now and the rain
 RH>> here has stopped, but before it did, it took out parts of several
 RH>> roads in the area.
 NB>> Sounds like things were pretty stormy there....    We had a
 NB>> monster storm up at the Pond the day I was supposed to be coming
 NB>> home... no thunder or lightning, but LOTS of rain.... I decided
 NB>> to shelter in place, and just as well... turned out that about
 NB>> the time I would have arrived at Oswego County (had I left when
 NB>> the almost "window" of not as much downpour happened) they closed
 NB>> ALL the roads in Oswego County for a few hours due to flash
 NB>> flooding.... Any route I might have taken takes me through that
 NB>> county....  When I did go home the next day, things were pretty
 NB>> much back to normal.... 

 RH> Was there any sign of flooding? On I-95 in southern NC/northern SC, I
 RH> could see signs (well off the highway) where Florence had flooded the
 RH> area last year. Some of it may have been left over from Matthew in
 RH> 2016 from the looks of it also.

Not really... Some of the creeks were a bit more swollen than usual...
Up at the Pond, though, the water was so high that it was covering most
of the docks... I've heard from RJ that it's receded some now....

ttyl       neb

... Two blokes walked into a bar. You'd think the second would have ducked
