Re: Twirlies

I'm glad all of you are OK - been a rough year already w/ twirlies.  We had
the oddest front come through last night, very high winds and dust!
Reminded me of my days in West Texas.  A duststorm yet!   I was out there in
50 mph winds trying to stand up while I watered in my newly planted lasagna
bed and all the fill in spots where something croaked from the
drought.  Wild evening.  Finishing up today now that the Sears guy has come
and gone.  A real stove, w/ 4 working burners and an oven - WOW.  I feel
real uptown now.  Just in time for Jesse's visit next weekend.
LOL
