A NEW SEASON

Summer is upon us all.

We have closed the Northern Camp…visiting the Holy Land of the North occasionally this year…
Leland/Traverse City to visit and Copper Harbor to visit and to attend an Iron Man Triathlon Dear Son is participating in.

We will be staying in familiar places but not in our camps.

The particulars of the closing are not important, but suffice to say we will be catching up on downstate needs…and they are many.

The koi pond is reclaimed with new statuary and landscaping and fences are being replaced.
Since reclamation, what I will call a toad or two have taken up residence and are singing their hearts out, swollen throats and all.
Superb!

An oft-retained tree company will undertake tree modification throughout our modest property.
And we will paint and varnish and prune and attend to our modest downstate affairs.

Spiritual beverages and cigars have never tasted better…and they will help us find our way.
As will fellowship with friends.
And book club and dinners in and out will also ease the pains of labor [not labor pains].

And all the while we look out upon our world.

b.o. confounds his military over Afghanistan and pleases his base.
Mrs. b.o. is in Africa.

New York redefines marriage.

Lybia defies understanding…a b.o. war of choice.

msm fixates on polls…as it is now accustomed to doing…and largely ignores the gritty details of important issues which few of us understand …

b.o. seems to be a part of most reporting on msm…
We wonder if the person of the President was always so oft mentioned in days gone by.

The nation's news should not really always or even largely revolve around the person of the President or the institution of the Congress.

Fixation on the national government diminishes the locals ..... and there are consequences.
Do you know them?
Does anyone care?

Rain is expected tonite…
Dear Grandkids arrive in morning for the day…an unexpected visit…

They will accompany us on our errands.

Dear Lord, we will be busy this day.
We may forget thee.
Please do not forget us.

Take good care.
