Hi Nancy,

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

 NB> Dry is always nice when grilling.... 

He'll be out with the VFW Chuck Wagon tomorrow and grilling for the
church again on Sunday. Hopefully by then we'll be down into the low 90s
and heat index backed off a bit.


 NB>  NB>>> (And with no internet access, these will not be uploaded until
 NB> I  NB>>> get home finally... first priority is getting his Jeep up and
 NB>  NB>>> running...)
 NB>  RH>> Looks like you made it home. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Yup... for the moment.... (G)

 RH> Busy summer of travel?

 NB> Pretty much.... Made more so with the kid being finally home for a few
 NB> months....   June 14-21 for that first trip to get him, July
 NB> 3-8(or9) for my Annual Meeting at the Pond plus 4th of July fireworks

Sounds like fun. Other than the above mentioned for Steve, I think we'll
make it a quiet 4th. Try out the new grill with some burgers probably.


 NB> and more
 NB> running around for the kid, July 13-20 for my family's camping week at
 NB> Selkirk Shores SP.... then a break from travel (probably) until the
 NB> Picnic at the end of September.... and then the Fall Meeting over
 NB> Columbus Day weekend... Possibly other trips to the Pond since the kid
 NB> is there....

Sounds busier than we were last year. (G)


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

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

 NB> I'm sure it will...  

It did; I was washing dishes while someone else dried. New faucet was
very much a help.

 NB>  RH>> Got things so that we can finish pulling projects together
 NB>  RH>> during the week. The week after VBS we'll do a reset, getting
 NB>  RH>> things pulled together for VT.
 NB>  NB>> Good....   It's all falling into place now.... 

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

 NB> That's good.... You do have a good knack for them...   Did you find
 NB> any that needed tweaking for VT, once you actually did them with the
 NB> kids....?

They seemed to go quite well this year. No major tweaks needed. We're
completly reset for 3 days in VT, partially for the other 2. I've still
got to write up the instructions tho, good job for tomorrow.


 NB>  RH>> started cleaning out a cabinet, etc) instead. Got one full and
 NB>  RH>> part of a second block done.
 NB>  NB>> Sounds like a lot was accomplished over all, though... 

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

 NB> Making good progress on those projects, I see...  

Getting there, got 2 more blocks made today. Four more to go but before
we begin the assembly of the top, I'm going to get a baby quilt made.
Taking time now, before working on supper, to chill a bit.


 NB>  RH>>> Agreed, just have to work on the flex for more RoM.
 NB>  NB>>> And hopefully that will work out soon...  
 NB>  RH>> It's coming, bit by bit. Got an exercise to help my back (and
 NB>  RH>> indirectly the knee) on Friday.
 NB>  NB>> That sounds good... 

 RH> A definate help!

 NB> You've got a good therapist there.... 

A couple of good ones, actually.


 NB>  RH>>> them. Problem is, our figures would suffer in the
 NB>  RH>>> experimentation phase. (G)
 NB>  NB>>> Quite likely, unless you hit on it in the first or second
 NB>  NB>>> try... 
 NB>  RH>> Not likely this summer tho. Did get a batch of cherry preserves
 NB>  RH>> made yesterday, instead. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Probably a better use of the time... (G)

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

 NB> Both sound very yummy...  

The cherry pie was good; blueberry will be subbed for peach. I'll do
that tomorrow as the schedule is less busy than today's was.
