Hi Nancy,
NB> NB>>> Or you're too young for him to be that old! 
NB> RH>> That's more like it.
NB> NB>> I know the feeling well... (G)
RH> I think most all of us on the ehco are of the same feeling.
NB> At least those of us that aren't youngsters anymore...
Which is probably most all of us regulars.
NB> RH>> Quite so. Another family had #2 (#1 was born before they moved
NB> RH>> here) just a few days after Audrey was born. He turned 8 in
NB> RH>> April, just a few weeks after becoming a big brother to #6.
NB> NB>> Reminds one of the song from Fiddler... Sunrise, Sunset... 
RH> One of my favorites. I saw the movie for the first time (but not the
RH> last) while in college.
NB> I've seen it a few times also... and listened to the soundtrack
NB> recording many more times...
Same here--some good lines in the movie but our favorite song has been
Tevye and Goldie's duet "Do You Lov-a Me?".
NB> RH>> They both were, and both gone now so I'll be making another pie
NB> RH>> tomorrow. This time it will be with local (We know the grower.)
NB> RH>> blueberries. Got some more cherries but I think Steve is going
NB> to RH>> try drying them.
NB> NB>> A worthy experiment... has he done that before with the
NB> NB>> cherries...?
RH> No, but we've got the resources to tell him how to do it and they
RH> dried nicely. I could (almost) eat them like candy.
NB> Probably just a little bit healthier for you than candy, at least...
NB>
They came out well--the jar is in the pantry. So far I've resisted
digging into it. Guess I ought to put it in the back so I won't see it.
(G)
NB> is NB>> perforce rather busy for me... I didn't get home from the
NB> Pond
NB> NB>> until Wednesday late afternoon, and so lost a day for getting
NB> NB>> ready for going off on the Elder family camping week which
NB> starts NB>> Saturday....
RH> So you should be at camp when this comes in; my Fido was out of
RH> commission for a few days, probably because of Barry. Hopefully you're
RH> having fun, eating lots of goodies and catching up with everybody.
NB> I was indeed at the family camping... this set of messages was in the
NB> huge packet I downloaded when I got home... We did have fun,
NB> catching up with each other... not really so many goodies this year...
NB> fewer people showed up this year than in other years, and of those, a
NB> fairly significant percentage only came on a day trip, or to drop off
NB> their kids to be there (under grandparent supervision)...
Good to see everybody, even if it is just for a short time.
NB> NB>> Got a week's worth of Fido etc messages read yesterday, starting
NB> NB>> in on replies now... what doesn't get done goes with me to work
NB> NB>> on there...
RH> I only had 3 days of back mail, plus today, so not that bad to catch
RH> up on.
NB> I took about half of it with me, and, as you saw, I uploaded those
NB> when I got back from Selkirk Shores.... Now, I'm tackling that
NB> week's
NB> message packet.... At least I'm not planning any more trips for a
NB> few weeks...
We're not planning any until September but will be working on odds and
ends around the house until then. Baby showeer is August 9, got the
quilt pieces cut yesterday for that.
RH> We cooked for LG yesterday, ended up only being 2 others besides Steve
RH> and me. Did a taco salad with blueberry cobbler (local berries) for
RH> dessert. Cobbler was enhanced by vanilla ice cream--yummy!
NB> Had you known ahead of time how few people there were to be there...?
NB> Sounds like a fairly simple and easy meal... Did you have lots of
NB> leftovers....?
We knew one family wasn't going to be there, found out 2 more people
couldn't make it at the last minute. We were able to adjust the cooking
so as not to have a lot of "use right away" left overs--extra beans into
the pantry, greens into salad, tortillas into the freezer, etc. Nice
flexible meal. (G)
