Busy now, packing for an expedition with a woman friend. Countless lessons about packing from my Mother are informing and inspiring me today. More smiles now than tears. Stay tuned for news from Red Oak House on "Baldy" -- our volunteer cottonwood. We have a combination of shade and sun now, and occasionally spar over how many vegetables get how much sun.
