Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> I wasn't prissy either...   Not that tomboy-ish, either,
 NB> though...

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

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

We only owned a quarter acre but the neighbor had several acres
surrounding our property that we had pretty much free run of.


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

 NB> I just try not to be too messy...  

Can't be helped sometimes.

 NB>  NB>> the almost "window" of not as much downpour happened) they
 NB> closed  NB>> ALL the roads in Oswego County for a few hours due to
 NB> flash
 NB>  NB>> flooding.... Any route I might have taken takes me through that
 NB>  NB>> county....  When I did go home the next day, things were pretty
 NB>  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.

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

Good--we've been hot, humid and dry.
