Good morning!!!!

Good Afternoon Paul,

Scott, that church would occasionally have a German service once in awhile, usually at the request of some of the older members.

Thanks for the explanation! I was curious, we do have one Lutheran church by us in Ct, but im pretty sure the service is in English!

My parents raised both myself and my sister under the Episcopal faith !
It’s a small parish but the parishioners are all friendly !

Too cold here today to do too much of anything! Yesterday I cut out the two patterns for the rocker back spindles, side and front profile. That was about it !

Either this spring or summer, I plan on ripping up the PT decking in front of our family room addition and installing Trex decking ! That will be quite the project!

Hope all have a good afternoon!

My last toboggan run was a bit eventful. Nice hill behind scoutmasters house and a bit icy, very fast. About 2 miles from home. We had to shoot a gap in the stone wall about 1/4 way down. When I got pushed off, someone accidently got me started at an angle. Missed the gap and my right hand smashed into front of toboggan breaking both bones in my wrist. End of my tobogganing that day.

19°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 45° today. Supposed to warm back into the 50s this week.

The mud had started to firm up a bit the last couple of days. There is rain in the forecast for this week. Not looking forward to that.

Scott, that church would occasionally have a German service once in awhile, usually at the request of some of the older members. But, the standard service was always in English. The church my Grandmother attended had both every week. My Mother's side of the family were all German farmers, and many still spoke German when they didn't want the kids or grandkids to know what they were talking about. When they found out I was studying German in high school, some were proud ... but others were disappointed, as they could no longer talk aloud about the "langhaariger junge."

Good morning, gents.

Na ja. Das ist traurig für die älteren Leute.

I mentioned to my BIL who owns a small excavation company that I wanted to rent a backhoe to take out the stumps
in my lawn, and would he operate it?
He came over and said they had a Kubota KX40 with a thumb that could take the stumps apart and his son could come over some weekend to do it.
Free is good! though of course not free, have to put couple hundred bucks in young man's pocket, at least.
Then landlord will send over their landscape helper and possibly after I get a load of dirt from Sparks,
the helper will clean up the mess. Long overdue for three stumps in front yard, and I have a new dwarf rose tree planned to go in the area where the
tree stumps were. Hopefully will look much better, I'm tired of putting flower pots on the stumps.

sunny and nice out but cold, particularly if you get out of the sun.

I spoke with Ted. Situation not positive, he's doing his best as is she. Prayers sent.

David, I would imagine a busted wrist would end the fun for that winter.

Good Afternoon Buppies,

Got up to 43 now on way back down 37 and falling

Well Buppies, you did way better than Vermont temp wise ! It never made it to 20, close but no cigar ! My grandson had a ball sliding down the field in the south side of our property ! That is until he went into the briars at the bottom of the field ! . Couple of scratches on his face but he is Ok ! With the cold temps, the snow was ultra fast ! I took one trip down on the tube and couldn’t get my fat butt out of the tube before it was too late ! It was a rough stop !
