Eden Haiku: The Queen is still on our money, coins, post stamps...
Eden Haiku: I like her hats though and she is a charming old lady :)
Adams Rubble: we get to see Canadian coins show up in our change all the time :)
Adams Rubble: Why is george washington wearing a hat....Ohhhhhhhh
Eden Haiku: I felt rock's heart leap pout of joy when I first went, on Saturday :)
Eden Haiku: out of joy, nor pout :)
Adael: Did someone say typo?
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: :)
Riddle Sideways: welcome, Adael
Eden Haiku: hello Adael sweet heart :)[the being on Adams' shoulder had said it was hot and humid in New Jersey]

Eden Haiku: It's one of the oldest colleges in the world isn'it?
Adams Rubble: yes cool there but different sweatshirt :)

Adams Rubble: they still have reunions :)
Eden Haiku: They do?
Adams Rubble: yes, some alumni
Adams Rubble: down the shore
Riddle Sideways: on the site of the defunct buildings ... now strip malls
Eden Haiku: True, they can keep the spirit alive, as we do at PaB:)
Adams Rubble spouts a Jersey phrase
Adams Rubble: the academic part of the old campus was taken over by the East Orange High School; the residential and library was torn down for a housing development
Eden Haiku: Sad...
Adams Rubble: It helps when one has gone to other schools that are thriving
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: not all your degrees in one basket
Adams Rubble: hehe
Riddle Sideways: :)
Adams Rubble: hmm, not all your course notebooks in one basket?
Eden Haiku: smiles
Adams Rubble: do people still use course notebooks?
Riddle Sideways: stored on old computers
Eden Haiku: Saw my first deer of the season yesterday. She says hello :)
Riddle Sideways: that don't boot naymore
Adams Rubble: wow, the first
Riddle Sideways: hi dear
Riddle Sideways: welcome to the country
Adams Rubble: :)
Eden Haiku: We have been in the country house for just a few days, so we were happy to see our offering of carrots and apples pleased her.
Adams Rubble: we are overrun by deer
Eden Haiku: They eat your gardens?
Adams Rubble: yes and everyone elses
Adams Rubble: have to be careful not to hit them when bicycling
