Beautiful weather we are having; nicest day of the week, I think. But the nineties are to return soon . . . More of the same in the store; today we wrestled with 60 new boxes of Christmas cards and related stationary items. Where to put all this stuff? . . . Visited Diane and Tom Neiper (the kids' grandparents) at their Camp Hill home this evening. JJ had to show me "his" garden, "his" fish pond, "his" hot tub. But I was most impressed with the civilized quiet of the place. Didn't hear a single blaring car radio . . . Just leaned that the Historic Harrisburg Association hopes to get $18 a pop for tickets to its annual candlelight house tour in December. That is nearly a 35% increase over last year--more than the new rates for electricity, in fact. Think this is a short-sighted move in the face of the economic recession/depression we are in. One wishes that the association showed a bit more respect for its long-time supporters . . . That is Bill Campbell's "Waterfall" bowl in the picture. $38 . . .
