Just regular folks.

This morning, after breakfast with Robert (our classmate’s kid), I headed back to Pittsburgh. On the way back, I dropped by our neighbors at the farm. The area has changed a lot and there is a new neighbor called Thompson. He just built a $650,000.00 house on the same road of our farm – Timber Ridge Road. His lot is about 22 acres and his house is same type as ours on Sheets Farm but a little bit bigger. Well, his house is good for our investment. Hope there will be more of his. The neighbor just across the street, called Charles, just recovers from colon cancer. He is fine right now. The neighbors raise deers, and the one raises trukeys were not around.

Well, can’t wait to see you folks (Donald and Martins) on July 4th weekend.

I can’t recall what I did before I was married and had kids. I had a pretty boring Sunday by myself. I am looking forward to coming home at the end of the week. I went out wandering a few times, but, it seems people get off to a late start here on Sundays, and I found things closed down and uninteresting. So I have been listening to Prarrie Home Companion and reading the Sunday NY Times on the internet. What did people do before the internet?

The Singapore Lionfish Mascot thing, with my hotel (the tall one behind the water stream) and the Durian shaped concert hall.

Edda learning to to stand up.

Thank you Ms. Stricker for the Sponge Bob PJs and the farting book.

Well, after ate breakfast with our university classmate’s kid, he went apartment hunting and I worked on the yard, mowing the lawn, trimming the trees, picking the wild grasses, putting back all the stones for erosion control and power washing the side door and garage. It looks great right now until next time.

Aunt Jane and Carrie stayed here for 4 days last week.

Our classmate’s kid will stay a couple of days and our old friends, a couple, plus her sister and brother-in-law will stay a couple of days starting next Monday. Her sister needs surgery to remove a lump in her lung. They are old conples and driving back and forth to their house in the country side is just too much for them. So, they usally stay with us. This time, not them, but her sister needs someplace to stay. We are glad that we can help.

Well, I heard Mom is putting two cherry trees in our house at Washougal. I also heard that over there, to buy a house now, they need to lineup and sleep over at the office door. Just like Las Vegas when I was there. Crazy! Imagine, when bubble bursts, what will happen. And a lot of people just bat the opposite. Interesting!

Donald, did you get the tickets yet?
