Sounds good....the more the merrier! The humidity was gone today. High 80s with a little breezy. Rain showers in early am. Have a great weekend everybody. Happy Thoughts.......

Patti and Kathi, we may have another friend at our reunion! Karen (Vatne) will be in town at that time. I told her she should come!

Hi Karen, glad you made it home safe and sound. Hopefully Rich let everyone share the driving!
It was great seeing you. Remember how hot it was that day we went to lunch, well, today is hotter with tomorrow being forecast as even hotter. I didn't really do much today. I am helping a friend make Bat Matzvah invitations and need to emboss some gold stars but I am really not in the mood to start up the heat gun! If I have the fan on then the embossing powder goes all over the place.....such decisions to make. Its 82 here at 7pm. Not complaining just telling! And Karen, my elbow is so much better! I wish I had done the cortizone sooner! We are finally picking a few things from our garden. A few cukes, squash, cherry tomatoes...hopefully, this warm weather will push stuff more. The garden was very late in starting with all the wet weather we had at Spring time. Maybe by the time Pat, Lori, and Janice come over there will be plenty! Nothing like fresh picked veggies. Everybody be safe and Happy Thoughts!

No, I can't hear the bombing, Patti. It's up north, not where I am. I go back and forth between Tel Aviv and the kibbutz where my parents and sister live (which is about 2 hours south of Tel Aviv). I go from house to house, trying to see everyone as much as possible--my parents, my 2 sisters, 5 really good friends, and a few of Avi's relatives in Jerusalem. Yesterday I had another mini-reunion--a friend and I got in touch with the ex-husband of another good friend from university days here. It was really good to see him.

Okay, I'll be waiting for your call!

Lori are you still in Tel Aviv and can you actually hear the bombing? I certainly don't mean to minimize the experience, but it must be unnerving to say the least.

In answer to you email question, I do still have your phone number and will call you during the week of the 13th to check in with you. Dave and I will be arriving at the Towne Place Suites in Williston (Tafts Corners) early to mid afternoon Friday the 18th. How does that sound?

I've been working between 8 -10 hours a day since last Thursday at the Fair. A day or two in the Fair Office and the rest going to next Sat. at the State Street Gate selling tickets. Once again, I'm a Carney Chick and proud of it ! What a life................

Too bad we missed you for our "reunion," Karen, but it sounds like you had a really good trip. I'm still going from house to house here in Israel, visiting family and friends while rockets and bombs fall in the north. I hope it's finally winding down....

I don't know when I'll get to that area, Roland, but there probably are a few other Vermonters down there!

Kathi, that sounds good. I have a picture in my mind of your house and garden, but now I'll be able to see the real thing!

Richard, Patti and I were wondering if you want to meet with us when she's in Burlington?
