Ärende: Earthquake
==================
Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> BTW, the Hawaiian bread was made before we left here in late
 NB> July. I'd  RH>> frozen it, then Gail had it in her freezer until the
 NB> picnic time. That  NB>> Someday, I'd like to try the fresh version of
 NB> it...  :)

 RH> I'll have to remember that next time we head to western NY, whenever
 RH> that will be.

 NB> That would be nice.  :)

AFAIK, the next trip will probably be next summer--but don't bet the
barn on it. Remind me whenever I do start mentioning plans to head up
that way, to bake some to take with us.

 RH> Good, I'm glad it was OK. I wasn't sure how well it would hold up for
 RH> the picnic since it was made so far in advance. I guess having it
 RH> toasted is the next best thing to fresh.

 NB> It also was fine with a short (a few seconds) heat in the microwave,
 NB> just to freshen it a bit... :)

That usually does the trick. I ought to get our loaf out so we can munch
on it.


 RH> We're OK; the earthquake did shake me a bit (Steve was in class) but
 RH> I'd been thru one in California back in 1984. I was sitting at my
 RH> sewing machine--after a few seconds I figured out what it was & put on
 RH> radio for official news.

 NB> We had little tremors up here in Rochester, too... but I didn't
 NB> actually feel it, though a friend had indoor windchimes suddenly start
 NB> to chime.

There was no doubt in my mind what it was as I felt it.


 RH> The Outer Banks are due to get hit later this
 RH> week by Hurricane Irene. Depending on how far west the eye goes, we
 RH> will get wind and rain. To paraphrase Carole King--I felt the earth
 RH> move under my seat. (G)

 NB> Crazy weather...  How did you guys make out with Irene?  We were far
 NB> enough inland that we didn't get anything more than wind whipping
 NB> leaves and branches on trees...  I know other parts of NY nearer the
 NB> coast were a lot harder hit than us, though... not sure how far west,
 NB> but friends
 NB> of ours a bit west of Albany got flooding in their basement.  How did
 NB> your parents fare?

We got steady but light (with stronger showers from time to time) rain
and moderate wind with stronger gusts. Elsewhere in this and other mail
packets I've described some of what my parents had. Water was about half
way up the "hill" (part of the mountain) where they live.
