Update from the North

We're having a heatwave...really! things are melting all around us, but cold is on the way again soon. I hear we'll be back in the icebox by tomorrow. Dad (Len) turned 87 two weekends ago. Sometimes I think he might outlive me! He never changes, it seems. Steve G's finger got crushed and broken by isaac's powerful wood toss the other day. Stevie was embarassed in the ER because mommy accompanied him in the ER room and big sissie, tamie followed shortly. I am sure the nurses were giggling at that big strappin man with women hovering over him. Steve said Isaac felt really bad about it of course, but then later was able to say "that's for teasing me so much and making me cry when i was little." Gotta watch out for those quiet ones, i guess! So, Bennie...you're in luck...time for the Christmas bonus...we need someone to come up and put up the rest of the wood for the furnaces. I can see Steve try to do it with a gimpy finger. You be must sick of the warm weather anyway in FL...it's time you come up here in the winter and check out the ice fishing! We promise not to throw you in the spearing hole. Not right away, anyhow. Miss you all-Sara
