JUNE 8, 2007

This has been a difficult summer for me. As we are climbing the ladder to old age, it seems to be more difficult than ever to get to the "Shaggs" on any type of schedule. It is hit and miss, one thing after another pops up.
And things that should be done on a regular schedule are set aside, and then have to be done the next time we make it down. This is no one's fault in particular, I just feel that this period of our lives should be doing the things we want to do, when we want to do them, but as I am reminded, we have responsibilities.
After 2 years of mowing prairie grass at III, I have now sown grass seed, hoping that it will soon take over. I don't mind mowing weeds, but grass will be much better and easier to control.
We have the new shower set up, and combined it with the pressurized, and heated shower head we previously used, to make one heck of a nice shower.
We have found that no matter which place we are, the tool we need is at the other place, so one after another, tools and equipment are added to each place. When we are gone, someone is going to hit the jackpot, if they like tools.
We had carpet left over from the Creston house, so we took it to II and installed it, along with a new couch. The little old cabin looks pretty cozy.
One of my projects this year is to screen in the porch at II. I have hauled every tool I can think that I would need for the project, but I know something will not be there when I need it.
All fo now

Speak for yourself, ol' man. I ain't climbing no ladder -- I'm running the other way! Well, okay, maybe I am treading water . . . the other side
