Delay in Plans

I have decided not to travel north for a couple of months as there are other things I must do at this time.

I will try to make the trip around Labor day.

All is well here except it's been raining every day. All the retention ponds are full and the summer has just started.

Chris has moved all but his bike and birds. He will do that tomorrow. He hired a couple of guys out of the local labor pool and ended up getting a couple of homeless guys who work day labor. His comment on my previous post will fill you in about that experience.

Thanks again for those great emails that you all send me. My friend Kelly in New York City just returned from Europe (the dog) and I do envy her. Wish I could make a trip like that myself one of these days. I am going to try. I feel good enough but I want to get through this summer and then I will decide where I want to go. It's hot as hell here and with the rain it's is more than humid. I am staying inside somewhere all the time. I don't enjoy outdoors in the summer months.

It's Emily's birthday today and we are getting together tomorrow to celebrate. I'll talk with all of you again soon.
