Greetings to all! Just a note to let dear ones know what's happening! It's been nice and cool up here the last several days and I see the forecast says highs of about 68 deg here in Nutri. We haven't had a lot of rain but it comes and goes; we are really Dry! But, the fishing is great. I've had 2 30+ days in a row at Canero! I brought home 2 yesterday of nice size and had the typical imnpromptu dinner party, and tonight I'm going over to Nick and Judy's for dinner. I will bring them 2 nice Rainbow as well. Except for a pretty constant stream of friends, fishing, and time spent sprucing up the yard and house, nothing outrangeous has happened yet! There's the usual leaving the water on and running out, however, and one of the little kids who showed up for dinner the other night apparently turned on the gas barbecue...luckily we caught it after not-too-long! Speaking of sprucing up, I did just about have my first heart attack! Who remembers that little yellow wooden articulate Snake that used to be up in the loft?? Well, now that I think about it, I have not seen it for a while..anyway, I was on my hands and knees out by the Oak tree cutting all those little oak trees that shoot up, when all of a sudden I see this very real looking Snake looking at me all coiled up!! It moved when I accidentally hit a nearby plant, and I about died. Now Who do we supposed took that Snake outdoors and carefully coiled it up??? Hmmm? Not to mention When..Doesn't look too bad so maybe it wasn't all that long ago? Anyway, I am fine, heart rate declining nicely. Over to Nick and Judy's with the Chipmans' this evening, and tomorrow will just sleep in and see what the 4th brings! Kind of supposed to get to Chipmans' for the fireworks but we'll see. Miss everyone! It is a fun time, wish you were here! Love, DAD/UR
