I apologize to the May's and to Meg for not meeting them. See I was informed of your arrival just be for you folks got in. I knew something was up, because Vicki got really weird just before you folks arrived. See, she does that when something is happening and she does not want me to know. She said that our break up was all my fault, well to defend my self this is not true. It TAKES TWO TO TANGO and I feel I have been doing the Tango by myself. Vicki hates my son Joshusa becuase he takes some of my time. She was all happy when he informed us he was staying with his mom this summer. She left me not long after he came back. Hmmm, She once told me I was the only man that stayed with her over 5 years and I see why. Don't get me wrong I love her all my heart and would have married her, if she would have accepted that there were three people in a family not just two. Thats enough enough from me. I am sure that you folks find her a wonderful person and so do I but there is a darker side that will come around and hurt your heart as it did mine.

Its reclaimed dessert like where you are. I don't know about the water. The ground water from around here is slightly alkali but the water they use for irrigation is from the mountains and I don't know about it. They are planning on letting water into the canals pretty soon. Right now they have runoff in them. They are pumping the water from the floods off the farmlands into the canals. You should see the almond bloosoms. They are gorgeous. The trees are white with them. I'm surprised that there isn't going to be a ride through them (really between them on the canal banks).

VN> Gosh, for YEARS I have been taking lessons and practicing, VN> practicing, practicing so it would LOOK like I had a natural seat! Can VN> you tell that I am ENVIOUS of you? ;) Come to think of it I might have been taught once how to ride, but this was years ago when we lived in Jacksonville, FL. I was between four and six years old then. My brother worked at a riding stable and when he would excersize(sp) one of the horses he would ride it over to our home which was only about a mile or two through the woods from the stable. He'll put me and my older sister on the horse and lead the horse around a bit. He had learned to ride on our grandfather's farm. I'm 38 now so it's hard to remember back some 32 or 34 years. I was about 16-18 when I had rode my uncle's horse. I'll always remember that time, flying over his head and landing on a concert driveway with the reins still in my hands. For sure sounded like he was laughing at me.
