In all seriousness I had a hellava summer, and I am thankful I am here typing this! When the fall season is done, and the fish and fires are gone, I just want to sit on my couch,catch my breathe, and read a good book.

Ten Words

We figured you were out there and was hoping you would pop in. Thank you for all you do. You could type "fire" ten times and that might suffice
