Hope you guys get some quality time with your families and have safe trips.

With the lack of family around, i'll be having dinner with my friends and neighbor. I've lived on this property for 42 years now and my next door nieghbors have been here another 7yrs before me. Guess i'd call them family. 🙂

My brother flew home yesterday, made it safely home. I got to spend 27 days with him. He got my garage/ house projects done, important papers found. I can't explain the quality time we spent together. For 20yrs it was just my little brother and I.

What i didn't mention was that he was suppose to be here a month earlier. 2 days before he was to leave, he came upon a firey crash at night on a desolate highway. The gal was upside down and on fire. After a very difficult time getting her out, he drug her to safety just moments before the gas tank blew throwing gas all over. She is still in bad shape, but alive. The stress and smoke inhaullation caused my brother to have a heart attack, he got one stent and needs a few more. He post poned his others till he got back from helping me.

With me on a rapid decline and him facing more surgery, you never know if either of us will ever see the other again🤧 Ahh, the love of brothers, seems mighty lonely around here today
