Right now the place looks worse inside but better outside. The handy-dude's got stuff strewn about inside that's kindof in the way.
Here's Rosie at the computer getting caught up :~D
In a bit here we'll walk over there and see what's going on and show Rosie what she's in for. The handy-dude's over there again now.... bangin away on something!
Pippin looks like he's wondering just who that person is sitting at your computer!
*waves to Rosie*
Hey!!! Yippeeee!! Welcome home, Rosie!

Look out! Pip is sneaking up on you!
Glad you made it. :D

The knife you sent on Tuesday arrived over the weekend and it is just phenomenal! Moved by your letter - denoting such a beautiful knife only goes to those in the line of fire - and in the interest of Paying It Forward, I have given the knife to CAPT Robert Pleak, USMC. Rob deploys to Baghdad this weekend for the next 90 days to work in the [redacted] supporting [redacted] in their efforts.
I thought you would like to know the knife has gone on to a true warrior going into certain line of fire. My staff duties will keep me firmly planted in Tampa at [redacted] where the only combat I see is in finding a suitable parking space!
Thanks go out to you and your fellow patriots at Hobbit Hole. We, the men and women of your military, appreciate your thoughtfulness and efforts.
Sincerely,
Mark
