Dear Diddyriddick,

Thank you sir!

I am staying safe at home--don't want to be tangling in traffic with the rush on sales and such. LOL

Respectfully submitted,
M. E. Wolf

That is well-advised, M. E. I wish I had that choice.

Spent four days at our vacation cabin in Meiggs County, Ohio, on the exact trail Morgan's Raiders took through Ohio on their way to the Battle of Buffington Island during the Civil War.

Cooked out, swam in our pool, took walks in the small creek with the three grandkids and spent cool, summer evenings sitting on the front porch talking with my daughter, son-in-law, and wife.

Wonderful time.

Hope everybody had just as good a time and stayed safe.

Sincerely,
Unionblue

Dear UnionBlue;

Welcome back home.

Will we have a 'report' on the trail of Morgan's Raiders in Ohio? Humm??
[Hint, hint... ..]

Just some thoughts.

Respectfully submitted with a smidge of wit,
M. E. Wolf

Nice post David. Back atcha. I fixed some stuff on/in the house, and made a list of stuff yet to be fixed...hoping to pass it off to some unsuspecting stranger. Got bitten by skeeters and little bugs called "turkey ticks" that are worse than skeeters. Currently applying calamine and some hydrocortisone.
