Good morning Chairman, everyone!

lysie, I was missing you! Did you make a lot of progress outside with the clean-up??

Good morning Molly. Prayers continuing.

Good morning, Molly! I got another section of the yard cleaned yesterday, plus planted some hosta. I wish I had been able to do more, as it is RAINING today, but at least I am making progress. I do not want to look out there in June and say "Why didn't I get that stuff done before it got away from me?"

I notice on the News side that now that the war is winding down, all the single-issue people are reappearing, to tell us why Bush has lost there vote forever. Bah! I do not want to engage in this silliness so soon after such a stirring victory. Late last night someone posted a painting they had found of President Bush. I am going to go find it and post it here. Back in a bit.

Molly, it looks like a disaster area here...still. We have about 6 stacks of limbs(not burned yet)...8 feet tall and more coming. I might borrow my uncle's chipper shredder. I hate burning all this stuff. Seems like such a waste.

I think this one project will take us to the beginning of winter if we want to do it right.

The trails where Sarah rides Playboy are covered with downed trees. I estimate about 200 on our property. Good news not all will have to be removed. Some we will just let rot.

Molly, the previous landowner...RR??? I finally was able to track him down. I wrote a letter to his brother's address in California that RR used one time....The brother moved, but had a mailing service so it was forwarded. The brother contacted RR and RR called me. RR was very pleasant and we talked about the war and protestors.

He will sign the release and have it notorized.(sp) :-) The waiting is killing me. :-)
