Good Morning,

I have been meaning to do this for quite a while, but I always think tommorrow will do. I opened and saw Larry & Dixie so decided it was time to act. I open this quite often but as I indicated I'm to lazy to contribute. Spring is, I hope, finally arriving in NH. Started work on the yard yesterday, which I dislike more each year, but it has to be done. It has been quiet here, no trips to see the kids who live in TX & NC. Lisa in NC & Jeff in TX. My big project this Spring is to tear down & rebuild the deck. I am debating with myself. Do it,with the help of my younger friends, or have it done. The tear down is no problem, just get out the chain saw have at it. The problems are the ledger board & the basic support structure which require more muscle than I have anymore.

We are hopeing to get to TX this Spring/Summer depending of Jeff's schedule. He will have his girls, who are with there Mother in Alabama, for about 3 to 4 weeks & we would like to see them.

Larry, we had a trip simillar to yours. We were in TN visiting Lisa & there was an ice storm. Came out of the motel & the truck was covered with an inch of ice. We drove on ice all the way through PA on Highway 81. Don't think I ever got over 20 mph. Trucks/cars all over the side of the road, but being stupid I kept going. Made it but like you I qualify.
