Chris rob and Dan came up. Went out Fri and a camp fire Sat. Dan dug up another flower bed and moved some lillies into it. Went to the Chapel with Rob. Also looked for seeds and found a number of flowers down the road which he'll pick seeds off from soon. Chris and Rob kicked back and read. Dan stayed Sunday night expecting to get up early and head to work. Looks like he'll be late. Oh well.

8/11 - 8/13

Mike was here with Mom, Dad, Mark, Monica + Muncher. Had a good weekend. Mom freaked out at the Chapel + thought someone was going to kill her + leave her body in the middle of nowhere. Flatlanders. Anyway, I am taking 4 tires downstate to see if I can get rid of them. Did some more cleaning in the big shed. Dug up a couple of huckleberries for native plant garden at work. Anyway, even though Dan won;t leave logs anymore, he was here last weekend and did an excellent job of cleaning the place up. I am not just saying this to smooth things over, but am being honest. - MIKE
