Hi Kathi. Yes, it's been unbearably hot here, but today it's a little better. My nephew and his wife were here for 5 days (the ones who got married in Israel in August). They were on a month-long honeymoon--Alaska to Canada to Las Vegas to Los Angeles. They liked the nature places better than Las Vegas and L.A.! We had a good visit with them, and then yesterday I took them to the airport and picked up my parents. So we're busy, but it's been fun.

I like seeing my Springfield friends when I'm in Vermont. We didn't have a lot of time this time, but at least we got caught up on what's new with everyone and laughed a lot!

Lori, it was great to see you last week! Thanks for including me in our friend lunch...its always entertaining when we are all together. Makes me feel like a kid again! haha. I hope that you made it home safely and that you are enjoying your family visiting. Heard that it was 113 out in LA today.....much too hot for me! Stay cool and stay in touch!
