Well it is Oct. now we have some of the leaves changing the weather is turning football is being played, clouds have been red, life is great.
We harvested our garden this last week. One plastic bag of potato's, some peppers, squash, tomato's, onion, and carrots. Won't grow underground stuff it doesn't grow and what does has lots of bugs.
We have lots of cactus on the place so I decided to just cut it down and skin it. it's pretty dangerous and easy to stalk except when the wind is blowing the limps start to jump around and I have to be quick to keep from getting stuck, lot's of fun though.
I got to talk to a man yesterday that had at the age of sixteen joined the army to fight in WW II he had a lot of good stories to tell of how they had to melt out the enemy as they were in the great white north. He was from Kansas I think I had been through his town when we used to visit my grandparents in KC MO. He also fought in the Korean conflict said it was colder there than Alaska I don't know.
As I got ready to leave he looked at me and said he was Mormon too joined in 58 hadn't been active for along time. I asked him if he would like some one to stop by and talk about that and he said yes he would.
Ya never know who, or where you might meet someone so it is best to be good and not have to say your sorry for not being good.
Love Dad

It is a good story. And I am glad he spoke with you. You're a good person to speak with.
Like Sheila, I enjoyed the pictures!

Beautiful pics. I think it's a valid concern you raised, Uncle Larry. Maybe when you get home we can both be trained by the master.

Great story! Careful with that jumping cactus, it will get you every time!

I love the photos, but can't read the font--it's too light. I hope you'll rethink the pink font. Hope you're doing well.
