Anna, Dear Sister.... it is wonderful to hear from you again. I have been thinking about you.

It sounds like you are doing well in your journeys. I am anxious to learn about your book and hopefully read it, Anna.

Hey, folks. I am here for just a short while today...had to get an article submitted.

I will be back here on Wednesday the 27th. Have fun!

Phyllis left me a strict list of chores to do while she is gone. Such a taskmaster.

Okay, Debbie, deadhead the flowers and put up grain for the horses.

Beetle, you are on granpappy duty and making sure the still don't blow up.

Burt, we need you to gut the fish you caught and smoke em over the mesqite.

AKLisa has the veggie garden and memorial orchard to water.

Anna, get cooking in the kitchen! Jenny, you help her. Anyone else who shows up gets latrine duty!

I'm on guard duty on the porch swing with the hound. Ahhhhh.

Naw, just kidding, I meant, PARTY! hehehehe

You go!, Jilly Girl.

Gotta go now....wish I could party with you all.

I'm in the mood for a party, Jilly. Let's do it!

Have fun, Phyllis. See you soon!

yepper I have 'em filleted and grilled in a jiffy !!

We can always count on Burt!

Not sure about Granpappy & the still. He was eye-balling the firecrackers down at the fireworks stand. Got a feeling he plans some trickery.

Goodness, Beetle. Granpappy needs a full-time chaperone!

<<Hands behind back .. staring down at feet ... drawing circles in the dirt with big toe>>
I did chaperone him along the path that just happened to go by the fireworks stand. I didn't stop ... but mighta slowed down a bit to let Granpappy catch sight & let the mind absorb what he was seeing.

Maybe I'm a bad influence on him... NAW!!!!
