No, Patti, no man! Avi didn't come to Israel with me. He may decide to come to Vermont, but not for sure. No definite plans right now. He's not into traveling as much as I am.

Lori was there a man you were planning to bring along?? I wasn't having Dave come because he doesn't anyone except Janice. It's not history. I think he's thinking of a day hike.

No, that's not the name of a town. It's more like a small community, usually agricultural--a communal way of life.

So no men are allowed on the trip to Springfield, Patti?! A day for women only! Fine with me.

Thanks for the info Lori. Been following the "happenings" via the net, wow. Stay safe. Oh, are you in the town of Kabbutz or is it a "way of life" commune thing?

Hi there.

yes, Lori I'm referring to the weekend of the 19th. So either Sat or Sun whatever everyone else wants. Dave is coming over to VT with me but he is not invited to Spfld. ")

Either day is fine with me. You are welcome to come to my house....I am so enjoying summer. Today is another perfect day...not too hot, a little breeze and so quiet. Did some yard work this morning...was going to do the trimming but couldn't get the trimmer started. Oh well! Happy Thoughts..............

Patti, I'll be arriving in Burlington on Aug. 12. You're talking about the following weekend, right? I think either of those days will be okay for me. I didn't talk to Janice about specific dates, but she does know about my plan to drive down to Springfield with you. Will Dave be coming, too?

I was thinking the same question Kathi. About Lori heading into VT. I still haven't gotten ahold of Janice yet. I keep getting distracted by other things and forget to make the call. I don't know if we're going down on Saturday or Sunday. Either is fine for me, which is best for you two? Lori? Kathi?

Are you flying straight to Vermont after Aug 11? I can't believe how fast the summer is going by. Weather yesterday was a typical beautiful summer day. Warm, clear blue skies but a breeze. Just right for sitting out in the lounge chair reading a book! Have a great day everybody. Happy Thoughts........

I'm here until Aug. 11. It's a mess here, but I'm okay. Having fun despite the situation.

Pat, glad you had a good time camping. It is hot here too. I went to a friends house today and lounged in her pool. I could really like just floating around all day! We haven't had storms but they are predicted tonight. It is cloudy now but still in the high 80s. Like I've said before, I don't like to complain about the heat because I dont' like being cold. Need to start doing some more crafting things now that my elbow is feeling better. I had a cortizone shot in it last week, which itself didn't hurt, but for 4 days after I couldn't bend my hand up to my mouth to eat. Luckily, hahah, I figured out how to eat left handed really fast. It was actually quite painful...of course, only 1 out of 5 have a flare up or whatever they called it. Just parts wearing out. I helping a friend make Bat Mitzvah invitations for her daughter...if I could just get the printing in the right place on the card....sometimes the computer doesn't listen to me! My son's girlfriend sent me a link from dummies.com for Microsoft word on how to print them correctly....I probably need the whole book. Anyways, Lori, be safe. Everybody else enjoy the nice weather...it will soon be cold again! Happy Thoughts..........

Hi everyone, I'm home for now. Camp was great but I really do love getting back home. It's hot as heck though, so muggy. Storms today 3 or 4 times but until now the temp hasn't gone down. It's almost 10 at night. Sure beats Winter!!

Lori you be careful over there. When are you coming back to the U.S.?
