A few weeks ago I discovered that my tiny remembrance of walking in Spain had fallen off of my neck chain. I think that I described it as small than a dime. Well, I found the little silver shell on the carpet in the living room last night. I felt like throwing a party! See it really pays to cut down on vacuuming all the time.

In the corn news, it is supposed to rain today which we really need badly. I am managing to keep up with the weeds barely. And the deer are letting me know that they are still around.

If you are coming to the Veranda in August we were hoping that you could get your RSVP in by June 15th which is coming up. We need to have a certain amount of facilities and supplies on hand so we need some kind of rough headcount. I am expecting around fifty folks and that would be great if we could get that many.

I have a friend Sui who walks here as often as possible and lives and works in Seattle. She has connections with Taiwan. And there is a bishop there that is intent on coming to visit the ranch and walk with us. How about that? We haven’t had a bishop yet.

Just a few more minutes, maybe I can squeeze in one more news item. Our Catalina, Kate Barush, the Art Historian for the documentary is coming to the Veranda. We are assembling some heavy hitters.

Just saw an eagle soar by the window, a nice omen for our day loves, Felipé.
