Thanks Bethie!

I thought of you a lot this week. Had hoped we could do a DB get together there this month - but I had dropped the ball on it. There were some things that desperately needed to be fixed there and I was not able to make plans ahead with the elevator in the works. Turns out it has been damper and buggier than normal. Let's hope we can do it in a dryer month. Hope you're still game.

Just got an estimate on the retaining wall - over $12,000! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! OUCH! Sure hope I can find a better price elsewhere. I have 2 more estimates in the works. We'll see.

Well, so much for my beach cottage. More like a "beachless cottage". Sure hope the water goes down soon or I'll be sunning on the dock instead.

Hope your summer is going well so far.
