 NB>> Replying from the Pond, on July 14, to be uploaded when I return home.
 RH> that's OK--we got home last Wed. night and I'm still trying to get
 RH> caught up on Fido. Catching up on other stuff, I tend to let Fido go
 RH> and catch as catch can for a bit. Things are settling down tho so I'll

Catching up is always fun...  ;)
 
 RH>> Probably not, they're going to be travelling in the same time frame we
 RH>> are, plus the kid has other activities scheduled for over the summer.
 RH>> School starts again in August; IOW, not too much time for button
 RH>> sewing unless on a sporadic basis.
 NB>> Pretty safe, then... :)   Of course, the sewing might come along on
 NB>> the trip, just in case idle hands get bored... (G)  I brought along
 NB>> some mending, but so far haven't done anything with it...  (G)

 RH> I doubt any sewing was done. I brought some hand work on our trip but
 RH> didn't touch it.
 
Sometimes there's extra time available, sometimes really not, or no
energy left with the little bit of time...  :)
 
 NB>> Nowadays, we probably would, too... Back when we bought the house, we
 NB>> didn't need the inspection for the type of mortgage we got, and as I
 NB>> said, we didn't even really think of it...

 RH> It's required in a lot of places now, probably Rochester, but you got
 RH> in before the law was passed.
 
Exactly...  probably is the law now...  :)

 RH>> Probably when we get home; it'll be an easy do first night back
 RH>> supper.
 NB>> When I get back home, I think we'll be eating at Wegmans as part of a
 NB>> grocery shopping trip...  (G)

 RH> We had scrapple & eggs the first night back. Had Chubby's bbq pastrami
 RH> for lunch; we'd stopped there in May but the pastrami was new to the
 RH> menu since then.

Was the pastrami any good...?   Scrapple and eggs sounds like a nice
simple first supper back... :)   As it turned out, we did do a grocery
run, and did eat at Wegmans...

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

 RH> Today was humid but not that hot, and wet. I spent several hours
 RH> making salsa (3 1/2 pints) and had a fan going in the kitchen. All the
 RH> major stuff (tomatoes, peppers & onions) came from the famer's market.
 
Nice.  :)  We're getting a couple of really nice cool days... high 60s,
low 70s for the highs, and the lows dipping into the 50s at night...
won't likely last, but it's a welcome break from the heat.  :)

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

 RH> But now we have each other's e-mails so catch up should be better.

One can do some keeping current by email, true... and it might make
planning future get-togethers easier as well...  :)
