Hi Nancy,

 RH> It's about a 15-20 minute walk from the new place; I think closer to
 RH> the latter figure. We may walk on nice days but not in bad weather and
 RH> not for Wed. night service when it gets dark early. During the summer,

 RH> the Life Group meal, we take the car for that.

 NB> So not close enough to do on a regular basis, but still possible.. I

It was very handy to live so close then. We walked to the farmer's
market and other places in old WF but getting out to Wal-Mart or Target
was going a bit too far.

 RH> We usually have parts of the meal to bring over and bring home. Steve
 RH> usually brings part of it over the night before. We may continue to do
 RH> that as it saves room in my fridge and less to remember Sunday monings.

 NB> Makes a lot of sense.  Fewer trips out to the car at once, too... or
 NB> risking dropping things by carrying too much at a time...  ;)

Very true,tho I've usually got things packaged up well enough to avoid
drops. We've stopped sometimes on our way home from picking up
components for the meal to leave some at the church from time to time,
all labeled for our group.

 NB>  RH>> I think Dad waited until all danger of frost was over; I don't

 NB>  NB>> He probably had a pretty good sense of how early was likely safe

 RH> Pretty much so--he grew up in North Tonawanda so he was familiar with
 RH> NY State weather. He did have to adapt a bit to the Catskills but IIRC,
 RH> lost very few plants to late spring frosts.

 NB> Some plants are hardy enough to withstand a late spring frost,
 NB> especially if the ground has warmed up some already, and the plant is
 NB> pretty well established...  :)

If the ground is warm enough and the plant hasn't broken thru, it'll
probably suvive also.
