“ Whew...you guys have really been busy ! We appreciate your information about Helen, cause we had no idea when, or if, she'd be here. If she gets here that soon, we shouldn't have to re-clean everything we cleaned before Jody and family got here.

Fletcher and Ivy are spending the night with us. I asked Jody and Dave what they were going to do for the evening..they looked at each other blankly - or looked blankly at each other. Then they decided they'd probably just drive around and look at the changes that have occurred in the area.

Tomorrow it's the 4th of July at Pioneer Park until it gets so hot we get grumpy and wanna come home...we figure about noon.
Sunday it's the movie, "Up."
Monday J & D are heading home.
Tuesday or so, H. arrives.
By then we will have made it through our 6th "official" day of retirement.
We'll see y'all sometime in August. But don't bother cleaning for us !!
Please give your family our love...They're an interesting lot.
Oh, speaking interesting lot, Wally and Eric pulled two drunken sots from a burning trailer house.
Love to you all !!!!
Di and Carol”

** THIS IS WHAT I WROTE TO THEM **
I think that Wally & Eric are heroes because of what they did.

How about we give half your love to good ol’ B.O. and give half
of ours to him as well. Then divide the rest between children
of siblings. ( who’s siblings, it doesn’t matter ).
Sounds like Wally & Eric are heroes. They’ll probably get
rich. But with that kind of money that disappears ( the kind
that is put in pension funds. )
I’m watching one of the InstantWatch movies that Netflix
has for the web - Southland Tales. It’s a sci-fi ( of sorts ).
actors I recognize from SNL and the lady who played BUFFY
THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. It’s a B-movie, but I’d make it a B+-
movie.

How was UP ?? The trailers ( previews ) all look pretty good.
And I liked all the Pixar films.
I found WALL-E on NETFLIX InstantWatch recently and
swallowed my surprise and watched it ( it had come highly
recommended ). ( I’m such a cartoon guy ! )
Maybe UP will show up ...

Did I say that I think Wally and Eric are heroes ? I think
they are. Tell them to watch out for propane bottles. Don’t
put such between you and the ‘get-out’ place. Either that,
or be like me - real lucky ... Wow !!!

The ‘gutter-guy’ ( Bob or Mark or Bill ) is putting a few new
gutters and connectors and corners up. There was a
cancellation or something, so we will get all our stuff done.
It will probably still rain here, and the sun won’t shine like it
should, and Connie still wants to move to a warm place in
Europe - or any place with more warm and sun. Me, I, too,
find that warm is very attractive, and sunshine makes me
happy. But I’m looking at the future availability of drinking
water. Which may be looking too far ahead.
Helen left some pictures here. I think CF has mailed them
to you.
love you,
