Very troubled

[Frank_Pender]

Well, folks, I got a reply from the person that was sent the blocks of wood.   Now, you must know, I did not attatch any strings to the boxes, the offer was from the other end.   I did not request an object in return, it all came from the other way.    For those that suggested that I bag the whole thing, I had, until a couple days ago, when soemthing triggered the sending.  I did not beleive that I would cause such a collection of responses. 

We all get busy, I know.  I had a brother-in-law die in the arms of my wife (his oldest sister of six girls and then he being the ungest boy of six boys)  last Saturday morning at 2:30am..   Service on last Weds. and he will be placed here on the Tree Farm in the near future.   Took Wife to hospital this morning for four hours of special surgery.   More problems that the folks thought and took another hour longer. 

Please, no comments or well wishes.  All is ok as of this hour and the prognosis is fantastic at this time. 

Sop, you see, I know how things that cascade and accumulate to where we all let things slip, or put aside with the best intentions.

I did not mean to stir a hornets nest over such an issue. 

If some of you really knew me, you would realize that I pretty well fit all of the descriptions mentioned and then some.  Sometimes we do not know the pebbles under anothers moccasins, let alone the mud that may already be ooozzzzzing through their toes.

Then, to top of my evening, I was honored with the presence of one son, one doughter-in-law and two grandchildren for my birthday.   The brought pizza, cards and snicker doodles.   After chowing down, we all took a tour of the Tree Farm in a gator.  What a delicious day.
