Hi Hap,

->  hn> We went into "the city" occaisionally. Mostly
->  hn> the effort. Anne has gone into the city many
->  hn> more times than I...but her opinion is pretty

-> I wouldn't mind a trip or 2 in, with specific plans for what I wanted to
-> see/do.  Otherwise, I'd rather stay away.  Even smaller cities can be a
-> big pain getting in and around sometimes.  One advantage of them tho is
-> that the restaurant choices are wider.

 hn> I think the restaurant choices in NYC are
 hn> as close to infinite as I can imagine! I have
 hn> friends who love to go to "The City" and stay
 hn> on Manhattan the whole time. I just don't find
 hn> large cities that enjoyable. Seattle is an
 hn> "almost large" city (grin) and at times THAT'S
 hn> too big.

I hear you there!  Raleigh is our near by "big city" and too big at
times.   We've only gone to small parts of it--where we needed to for
medical appointments, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's, computer and
fabric stores--you get the idea.

->  hn> My sister in in Charleston this weekend. Evidently
->  hn> there is a tea plantation near there now...didn't
->  hn> know we had tea growing in the americas!!

-> I think I first read about it give or take about 15 years ago in the
-> Smithsonian magazine.  I wouldn't mind a tour--in cooler weather.

 hn> My sister, loves the heat and I mean LOVES!
 hn> It seldom gets too hot for her tastes! I can not
 hn> imagine me going to Charleston in July...I've done
 hn> it  before and have sweltered through (too) many
 hn> South Carolina summers. I would not mind visiting
 hn> in say March, when the weather is actually rather
 hn> nice! Same for October...mostly!

I know; we visited Charleston several times when Rachel & David lived
there.  Summer was hot and sticky but March was really nice.  Last time
we were there was May of 02 for their college graduations & David's
commissioning.

-> -> Yes, and most anything could be a treat.  While we were at my parents,
-> -> we got some sparkling flavored water. Robert wanted a taste one night

->  hn> Have not had any of them in a great while
->  hn> and generally prefer water, coffee, or tea
->  hn> when offered.

-> We hadn't had any in a long time either.  These were Polar brand; we
-> used to buy them when we were stationed at Fort Devens.

 hn> When Amanda was here, we picked up two small
 hn> (17.2 oz) bottles of "Cascade Ice" sparkling water.
 hn> 0 calories, sodium free lemon lime flavored...basically
 hn> carbonated water with some flavoring added. Not bad
 hn> but at $1/bottle, I would have been just as happy with
 hn> regular water, and perhaps a twist of lime (grin)

But worth the treat since Amanda was with you. (G)

->  hn> her visit! yesterday we set up a wifi
->  hn> network here at the house so when
->  hn> Annie comes home she can do wifi
->  hn> right here on the couch!

-> Spoiling both of your girls. (G)  How's Annie's back doing?

 hn> She's in New York so she's suffering mightily
 hn> through the heat! She's being careful with
 hn> her back and one of her cousin's who's going
 hn> to be visiting today is a Doctor so he'll keep
 hn> her on track if she needs it (grin)

Good; the heat is supposed to break today & be really nice tomorrow.
We're in western NY until Sunday, then take off for PA and south.

Catch you later,
