Al: A day late, yesterday never really ended, what with finding all the necesities of life. Found my tooth brush today, been without that one since Thurs. The young folks got a wee bit carried away here late yesterday, taxed the water system a bit too much refurbishing the flower gardens. Just about the time everyone was ready to have a shower and turn in, the pump lost it's prime. Sand point and it wasn't coming in as fast as going out. I worked until midnight, no luck, then back at it at 4 am. This time paid off. Today the young folks left for home, Marg. and I planned on taking it easy, yet found ourselves looking for something at every turn. Now, for the tale. A former neighbor, died in 1956. I remember him quite well, claimed he fought in the war of 1812. Not quite sure he was that old, however he claimed he got hit in the abdomin by a fired cannon ball. When asked if he got hurt, He said, "It knocked the wind out of me." That is as good as I can do tonight, not sure which was the biggest lie, his age or the cannon ball.
