It's safe now......almost

Peter, it’s safe to come down now, you’ll be glad to know that Dick has almost all the wood chopped up. In fact, he said that he was going to leave when he finished with it, so we had to go out and get more wood today.

Actually I wanted to take him to a place that he hadn’t been to before, so we went to a place called Major Moore’s. I’m not really sure if the good Major was a friend or a foe but he sure lived in a pretty location. It’s on the north fork of the Smith River about 25 miles off Hwy. 101 on a gravel road. It was pretty cool. Dick said he wanted to see lightening and thunder while be was here and although we didn’t see any while we up there we did have rain and snow. On the way back Dick probably felt what it’s like to be on the Jamaican Olympic Bobsledding Team…without the bobsled. Yes, I was in a little bit of a hurry.

We had to wait until we got back home before we had the lightening and thunder. By that time Dick was just happy to get back home. I think he may have lost interest in the thunder and lightening. Don’t worry though, it was still a successful day; we got wet. No, Dick didn’t find a suitable place to bathe himself, but he still got wet.

Yes, Sandi and I didn’t celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary last week even though our 30th anniversary was on Tuesday, March 17, we worked. We were going to take the day off, but decided that it would be too much trouble to make up sub plans. Andrew and Rachael came over looking for some sage advice on what it takes to be successful in a marriage. The only thing I could think of was, “Be around in 30 years so you’re there to enjoy it.”
