Replying from the Pond, on July 14, to be uploaded when I return home.

 RH>> I think her mom was going to put her to work sewing on buttons at

 NB>> As long as Mom doesn't overdo it, so that it becomes a drudgery... ;)

 RH> Probably not, they're going to be travelling in the same time frame we

 RH> School starts again in August; IOW, not too much time for button
 RH> sewing unless on a sporadic basis.

Pretty safe, then... :)   Of course, the sewing might come along on the
trip, just in case idle hands get bored... (G)  I brought along some
mending, but so far haven't done anything with it...  (G)
 
 NB>>> tell us not to have a 2nd floor waterbed...  ;)
 RH>> Except maybe the inspector before you bought the house. Post housing
 RH>> was concerned about the weight of the bed on the floor, also problems a
 RH>> leak would cause.
 NB>> What inspector... ?  ;)   Ok, maybe an inspector wouldn't have been a
 NB>> bad idea, but we didn't even think of that back then... :)  We bought
 NB>> a sturdy old house... and haven't had any major problems with leaks...
 NB>> generally caught them early enough to prevent any major floods (that

 NB>> water, too)...

Nowadays, we probably would, too... Back when we bought the house, we
didn't need the inspection for the type of mortgage we got, and as I
said, we didn't even really think of it... 

 RH>> Most of it is gone now; I think there's a couple of hamburgers and
 RH>> rolls yet. We finished the ice cream tonight.
 NB>> Another time for the hamburgers...  ;)

 RH> Probably when we get home; it'll be an easy do first night back
 RH> supper. 

When I get back home, I think we'll be eating at Wegmans as part of a
grocery shopping trip...  (G)

 RH>> We had one today but been busy with getting odds and ends taken care
 RH>> of before taking off. Yesterday was a bit cooler too, but we were busy
 RH>> with church related things most of the day.
 NB>> Always something...  :)

 RH> Seems that way. 

Eventually it'll be cool again... maybe even sooner than you think... :)

 RH> Had supper tonight at Cracker Barrel with our friends;
 RH> did a fair amount of catching up but still a lot of gaps to fill in.

That's the way it is when it's been that long... seems sometimes like
there never will be enough time to fill in all the gaps... :)
