Over the River and Through the Woods


Some time in the next 2 hours, we will depart for Grandma's house. I am looking forward to seeing Marilyn's Mom and the farm.

She's been busy making improvements over the last couple of years. The old pond has been rebuilt, the picturesque but decrepit brooder houses have been removed. The dirt floor in the machine shed is now concrete. The old pond that was full of cattails (and at one time, catfish) is gone, and turned back into pasture. It will be good to visit with her and see her latest crafts. She's a world class quilter, and a pretty fair hand at china painting, too.

I know Sam is chomping at the bit waiting for us to show up, and Sandy is running around like a headless chicken doing all of the last minute stuff that seems to be necessary before a road trip. Marilyn is busy doing her getting ready, and I'm dreading the drive, but looking forward to the trip.

I'll post again tonight or tomorrow morning and let y'all know about our progress.

Stay well, and keep smiling.
