Re: Mushroom flies, red wine and cool pix
I live in Kennett. ?Funny you should mention mushroom flies. ?Right now we just happen to have a ton of gnats, but I’m not sure they come from the mushroom industry. ?It is the first time in two years that they have been a problem in our apartments.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I like both red and white wine in stemmed glasses. ?Doesn’t seem like wine otherwise. ?However, it is a pain in the neck to wash the stemmed glasses.
Good looking couple in the pix! ?But I don’t remember a Bob Blake.

My local library has a device that permits me to transfer the 8mm rolls of film to digital. Somehow I inherited almost 30 tapes that run about 3 minutes with no sound.

The screenshots I took on my computer I’m adding?below has a postage meter date of June 25, 1954 with handwriting on it saying Bob Blake’s wedding. Anyone know who he was? If the date stamp was close to the wedding date, at 2 months, where the hell was I?

Re: Mushroom flies, red wine and cool pix
I’m with you on the stemless wine glass—it just tastes better!
And your parents look amazing here. Like movie stars.

Know nothing about those pesky flies. Luckily they don’t bite.
Bob Blake is ringing a bell softly. I think he was a friend of Mim’s in D.C. If only Lonie were here . . . On Oct 17, 2024, at 4:29 PM, Steve Ruggieri via < sjrugged@...> wrote:
