Muddlin' through

 
The lease has been signed; the electric and water will be turned on tomorrow. As soon as I can get internet, I will be ready to park my butt atop Berry Ridge. The address is 465 Berry Ridge Rd., Jonesborough TN 37659. We won’t have a landline phone but I will accept collect incoming semaphores. To better emulate Mark’s new house, a busy RR track is located a few hundred feet behind the place. Y’all come!

It finally rained a bit this morning and threatens to do it again; I hope so as our drought continues. Without a lot of rain over the next few weeks, the mountain forests will be tinder dry and autumn will bring many fires, some set by natural causes or carelessness by people, and some will be caused by cowardly arsonists.

Jeremy is flying in with Courtney today; she is getting a few days back in Atlanta before leaving again Sunday to Chicago to begin radiation treatments for six weeks. I have a feeling that their parting Sunday will be one of the toughest moments of their lives. They will take the dogs when they leave here today or tomorrow and we will miss them; we have all bonded and become one big hairy family. Remy is 10 years old and I hope I get to see her some more before her doggie days are over; Bubba is only three and acts like a big baby tough boy. He thought he was going to be a bad-boy bully one day when Carolyn let them outside; he spotted a small poodle tied up in a neighbors back yard. He took off running toward the other dog just as hard as he could with his tail straight up in the air in his “threat” demeanor but when he got there the poodle promptly nipped him on his butt and Bubba came back home even faster with his tail between his legs; he kept looking over his shoulder to make sure he wasn’t about to be devoured by the ferocious, silky-haired white monster.

Sammy just came in … I gotta go!

Have a sweet Thursday, my friends.
