Hey Everybody,

You all have a good day.

Thanks Miss Wilma. I know what you mean. I love to be by the water too.
And Mary Jane, I am proud to have a husband who is not afraid to tackle projects. It wears me out a lot of time, but it is worth it in the long run.

That's a great story!
My dad is the one that started it. He's creative he called me "Linny the Schmoo" too!
Nice to be loved, huh?

Thanks Lisa and Linda.
Linda I can't help but laugh when I see Linder. I have 2 older sisters, Linda and Brenda. When I was little we were sooo country. Linda of course was Linder, Brenda was Brender. The good part was, I was Pameler. One day Linda came home from school and said we couldn't talk that way anymore her teacher said so. I still don't mind being called Pameler though. It sounds like home.

Thanks RoseMarie. We haven't had much time to enjoy it yet. My husband is on another project, getting the sawmill back in working condition. But I expect to be sitting down by the water wheel this weekend.

Thanks Karin and Janice. It is so peaceful to sit and watch it after all that work. We still hope to have the generator working some time this summer.
