Folks...,

May 1st was so full of blessings that it's hard to fully fathom at this time, the outpouring of love and honors for our friend and brother Peter Nap and his family, and the message to all of us at his memorial service was most gratifying. There were blessings bestowed that came from the true heart of your brothers and sisters, and now it is up to us to use them as best that we can. If it's one thing that you learn from being around these folk, it's that they are a truly caring sort, have many talents, and the courage to share from their hearts and souls as well as their time and talents.

Thank you all again.

Solus...,

it was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely wife yesterday, I'm sorry that we didn't have more time to talk, I spent some time down South working on the railroad, i have many, many fond memories of friends and family there, and the cuisine too! Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to come so far and be with the family, and also for your generosity, I am humbled.

Double Tap...,

you're an amazing lady, your natural beauty is overshadowed only by the beauty of your generous heart and soul. I'll say as I have many times before..., that Grapeshot is a blessed man, and thank you again for sharing your love and blessings so generously.

the early hours are usually the most physical, and more relief is needed then because until the chunks of potato start to break down and some of the edges start to round off its sort of like stirring blocks of wood in big bowl. A couple of years ago, it was only me and a 70 year old member of the church there to do it, and it dang near killed us until some help showed up an hour and half later!!! It can be a back breaker without good help, but this group proves themselves over and over again, and it seems that we will have a number of folks to be there @ 5, so thank you Tess, for whenever you'd like to be with us!!!

Well, if 5 is when I'm needed, 5 is when I'll be there. See you then.

Add one more quart for me = five + the one for Skidmark which I will deliver.

Now I have to figure out how to send one of these to the state of Washington - yes, I'm serious.
