Thanks, guys! I missed you all. It is so good to pop in and see that you are all still here. Barb, it has been a real roller coaster since I saw you, but things are settling down a bit. Mom's hallucinations are subsiding and she is not flying about the house searching for little people with her flashlight. It had gotten pretty wild there for awhile.

I never got the second coat on the deck I was staining when we met, but hope to get up there soon to finish it. Mom swears she is going to help and considering that she was always a good painter I guess I'll let her. When she is over this I will get up there again and we'll have another visit. Sully is so gorgeous in the fall. I had hoped to go to the outhouse races in Dushore this weekend, but cannot get there. I collect outhouse stuff so seeing that race is right up my alley! Maybe next year! I cannot remember whether I asked you if you have ever gone to one.
