Thank you Dolores! Will pray for James safe return. For Jeremy as he goes to camp. God bless Charlie for helping out. Arthur surely does need help. He isn't big on praise, but tell Charlie to hang in there. Did James tell you about the Indian Artifact? I teased Art, I wasn't there to help plant tomatoes. As he dug holes I was going to look for Indian points. Art says "I have been tilling and working this ground for 51 years. You won't find anything". Well, I was behind him as he dug a hole, and saw this different looking rock, I never said a word. picked it up and with water in the bucket, I washed it off and put in my pocket. After we were through planting, I showed Art. He grunted and said I was dreaming. It is a secondary tool. Probably used for scraping and cutting hides. James worked really hard in the garden, so I thought it would be a nice rememberance for James to have something from Grandpa's garden, along with the above story. Must go.
