Hi Dave,

 DD> Les is the guy I'm nominating for the "First Citizen" award. He's an
 DD> amazing dude.

He does sound quite amazing. Let us know if he wins the award.

 RH> shopping during the storms; I think he stayed at Wegman's until the
 RH> worst of the first wave let up. We got a bit over 1.5" of rain in a
 RH> couple of hours.

 DD> My brother says we got 2 inches in about an hour. Then it was done.
 DD> We're not supposed to see 80s until mid-week.

Had some drizzle yesterday morning and then it cleared up. Today is
nice, low humidity and a temperature of 76. Steve grilled a steak last
night and burgers for lunch today. I'll pull chicken or something else
out of the freezer for him to put on the grill tomorrow--take advantage
of this nice pre fall weather.


 DD> I may go back to a flip phone since I have no desire to play gamez, or
 DD> do "social" media on the fly. Jitterbug sells one that is compatible
 DD> with the modern telecom practices.

 RH> I've not upgraded in several years but will, probably next year. I have
 RH> a hard time finding a phone that feels comfortable in my hands; most of
 RH> them are too big so I like to keep a phone that fits, as long as I can.

 DD> I dunno who your carrier is - but all of the ones I have experience
 DD> with will work with you .... not least bercause they want to keep your
 DD> business.

We've been going with Google Fi for the past about 5 years; they work
well for us after having issues with all the major carriers.

 DD>       Title: Home Canned Spiced Peaches (My Grandmother's Recipe)
 DD>  Categories: Fruits, Spices, Preserving
 DD>       Yield: 7 Quarts

 RH> Rachel gave us a jar one year, said her family didn't care for them. We
 RH> liked them so the next year I put some up as part of using a bushel of
 RH> peaches we'd bought in Pennsylvania. Also canned some "as is" and made
 RH> peach butter.

 DD> Peach butter is a nice change from apple butter.  Bv)=

Yes, and like all butters, it's easy to do, just takes a long cooking
time to get it thickened without burning. Years (decades) ago when we
had an over abundance of sweet potatoes, I made sweet potato butter. I'd
never seen a recipe, just had the idea that it would work--and it did.
