 NB>>> from Linda. She is still renting out the cottage... and happens
 NB>>> to have the 3rd week of August (16-23) still open...  So I told
 RH>> Sounds like it would be ideal for us. We finish our work in VT some
 RH>> time Friday, not sure if it's after breakfast or lunch, so would head
 RH>> that way by early afternoon at the latest. We'd have to find a place to
 RH>> hang out Friday night and Saturday/night before the official gathering;
 RH>> it would be a bit too far to go to M'ville.
 NB>> I can see if the cottage is available any earlier...

I checked, and likelihood is slim... So Sunday would be the earliest day
to get into the cottage, probably.

 NB>> another possibility would be to stay at my camp until picnic proper,
 NB>> although right now I don't know what sort of shape it's in, and it
 NB>> would certainly be lacking some amenities...

 RH> Things will work out but I'm going to need a place to do laundry on
 RH> Friday after we're done in VT. We'll probably find a laundromat and
 RH> fill several machines with clothes and quarters. (Memo to self, take
 RH> along rolls of quarters.)  It'll probably be a quiet night for us.

We can play it by ear as we get closer to the time...  At least now my
cell phone works down at the camp, so communication should be easier
than it used to be...  :) 
 
 NB>>> Boyd Pond is not all that far from VT, generally people with
 NB>>> major medical crises get sent to Burlington (rather than
 NB>>> Syracuse, for example), so it might make an easy trip over...
 RH>> We'll be in Waterbury--want us to bring some Ben & Jerry's ice cream?
 NB>> If you wish... ;)   Cherry Garcia is one of my favorites... (G)

 RH> Can't bring you Green Mountain coffee but don't know how well ice
 RH> cream would keep. We'll have a cooler but not a freezer with us so,
 RH> nice thought but probably not workable.

No, the coffee would be wasted on me... ;(  No fair teasing me on the
ice cream...  (G)  Considering it might be a couple days before you get
to the Pond, I suppose ice cream might not be all that workable.  Unless
they had some sort of dry ice containers for keeping it in... ;)
 
 RH>> We'll see how things play out as we get closer to the date but it does
 RH>> sound like a fun time. Steve is already thinking of one thing he wants
 RH>> to make, to get opinions from this group how he's doing on developing
 RH>> his gluten free, dairy free cooking.
 NB>> One of the joys of picnicking...  checking out things...  :)

 RH> He's trying out ideas now, so some of the folks at church can enjoy
 RH> the same basic goodies as the rest of the congregation. 

That's been behind Richard's trying out some ready-made gluten-free
items to bring to church dinners... There's enough good cooks in the
church that the desserts are pretty well covered, but bread isn't always
available, especially decent bread...  Richard's getting very good at
reading labels to figure out how good it will taste... and the gluten
intolerant kids are glad to have the bread they can eat... last couple
times it's been Glutino's english muffins... rarely have leftovers, and
when there are, we just send them home with the family with two gluten
intolerant kids and a gluten intolerant papa...  :)

 RH> BTW, just got word about an hour ago that the lemon pound cake was
 RH> well appreciated by the buyer and his sister.

Was there really any doubt...?   (G)

ttyl        neb

... A mind stretched by new ideas can never go back to its original size.
