Hi Richard,
Fox Brothers were o.k. I think it was a little too canned for my taste. they did a lot of joking between songs and it didn't come over as very spontaneous even though the obligatory "potato" stuff was thrown in. the music was pretty good though. The crowd really got into it when they closed with some upbeat Christian and Patriotic pieces. the fireworks afterwards were terrific! so was the fried bread dough with powdered sugar. Yumm.
I told myself I'd lose 20 lbs. by the time school started and that's probably too lofty a goal. (we go back the 26th of Aug.) As it is, all my clothes fit better and I'm wearing things I haven't warn in several summers. I'm sure glad I didn't clean out my closets!! I'm pretty happy with the way things have gone. Certainly I feel better and healthier. Congrats to you on your weight loss also. It's a tough thing to do. I was such a skinny ****** in school, thought I'd never have to worry about weight!

Tonight is The Fox Brothers at the Northern Maine Fair with Fireworks to follow. Except for the rain it should be a great evening. I can already taste the fried bread dough. We like to go early in the week to the fair while the fat is fresh but didn't make it so we'll take our chances tonight!
In between rain storms I've been working in my gardens, playing a little croquet and refinishing furniture. I've even lost 12 pounds! For me, it's ben a very good summer.
Got a note from Eileen Hongisto yesterday. She said she missed the reunion because she was having back surgery. She'd love to see photos. I have none so if someone could post a few or send something to Eileen it would be great. Thanks.

Jerry, What do you like better- watching the race or watching the people watching the race? This weekend was party time here. I went to a friend's birthday party Friday, an annual garlic party at Arnold's (a Ben & Jerry's taste developer) house Saturday (do you know the difference between Italian, French and Bulgarian garlic?), and then last night with the same 4 couples that we have dinner with about every 6 weeks (for the last 17 years) for Mexican seafood at our house (first time I had a seafood taco- yum!). Be good & have fun to all! Today is going to be a long one. People are losing their jobs where I work and, like they say, "You never know when your going to go!"
