 ML> Quite comfortable. Here, Boston suburbs, it was in the 30s last

The rain finally lifted, late this afternoon. We're supposed to be in
the low 70s for a day, then the 60s for several days, then back to the
low 70s by Monday.

Sounds like some of the Bread Alone breads I've bought. They're a small
bakery in Boiceville, NY--most of their breads go to the NYC area but
they sell some in their cafe and in local grocery stores. My parents
bought bread from them off and on, had some different times when we'd
visit. Now, since it's on our way when we come up by way of NJ, we stop
and get some, or get some in the local grocery in M'ville.

 ML> That's what happens. Once in a while the prices come with an

I'll buy some of their specials but it's not my "go to" store for
staples.

Sigh! I'm not sure what Lowe's is going to do. They've started making
their own brand of sausages; I bought some of the Italian once but it
didn't strike us as that impressive. Right now they're pushing a
halloween type, and one geared toward armchair quarterbacks.
