Still here!

Three of the "Girls"
July 4th was the second anniversary of the onset of the symptoms which eventually lead to the diagnosis of my pancreatic cancer. Though I experience almost constant indigestion (belch!), I am content and enjoying my life among family and friends.

I sold the house in Sedona which provides me with the means to pursue my "bucket list". My brother and his wife continue to tolerate the neighborly presence of my fifth wheel in their front yard. Romeo is my constant companion and source of solace.

I receive visitors--most recently, Jane McHan, who was visiting her brother who lives nearby. I'm busy: I mow the six-acre lawn and just completed construction on a secure home for our new brood of eight Rhode Island Red hens. No eggs yet, but they are a delight to watch as they go about their peculiar chicken ways.

All things considered, due in no small part to your continuing support, life is good.

    Hi John,
    Say, do you need windows for the hen house? I know a guy whois a wizard at making window frames, who was mentored by a master craftsman who used to live at Stoney Creek. (He's even got a window frame that was dedicated to him, because of the excellence of his skills.) Just let me know!

      Hi JB!

      No windows, just doors. But no more than two... any more and it's a sedan, not a coup. :-)

    John, that was so good, it made me wince. Fast, too; the man is fast. (And clever, of course.)

    Looks like I'm outta work as a window-frame maker. Even Jennifer doesn't need windows for her dollhouse anymore. :(
