| You make a living by what you get, but you make life by what you give. Winston Churchill |
| If you find yourself ashamed of your friends; perhaps it is because you have ceased to be one. |
| Do you ever wonder if exercising your right to speak obligates you to listen? |
| To my guests: You have not made me what I am but you do contribute to what I will become. |
| I would rather be hated for what I am; than loved for what I am not. |
| May 21 2004 Good Weather is here now and with it the Garden. This morning I went out early and picked strawberries for breakfast and now I'm picking cherries so I can bake pies this evening. This should last into next week as long as the birds don't get too many. I'll try to keep them at bay but once they see me picking they get to work too. Any falconers out there? |
| Well the sun has set on the cherry season here in Bluffton but thanks to Mike,Josh, Zack and Lynn the trees are clean and the cherries pitted. I've got enough juice left for two pitchers of banana cherry smoothies and enough cherries for a dozen pies. Wonder who will get here in time? |


| Riding the Lewis & Clark Trail |
| Then |
| And Now |


| These bikes (riders too) have been around! And they still come back! |

| I'm Looking at either this boat or one similar as a floating B&B Would appreciate feedback on interest. Ride the Erie Canal during the day and stay on the boat at night. Bike around Door County and stay on the boat at night. How about Land Between the Lakes? Great River Road? St. Johns River or Okaloosa Bay in Florida. The Keys In February, Not Cheap but....... |
