Hi Dot and all, Except for Dot, I haven't heard from anyone for a long time. Here on Prince Edward Island we are awaiting the arrival of the combination of tropical storm "Nicole" and another storm coming in from the west. Hope it is nothing like "Juan" was a year again. Our son Matt is still in Iraq with a Marine Corps MI unit but phones us once a week, as he did an hour ago. The temperatures "near Baghdad" have cooled down here to 95 to 100 and they are l chilly. Here we have had a beautiful and warm and dry September so far, which is good as everything in the flower beds and garden are at least three weeks late this year. Winter will come soon, so I am busy doing all the last minutes preparations including hand splitting half a cord of firewood and stacking two more cords when they come tomorrow. I finally decided that I have shoveled enough snow and bought a snow blower this week. Bought a new digital camera (Canon Power Shot A75) so I can send photos without waiting eight or ten months to have the film to be used up and printed. Wished I had it when I was in New Jersey last spring. So much I remember and would like to photograph. Where is everyone else? Jim from Prince Edward Island..
