Yes I am still alive and well and living in Ganzhaven. Lee has done wonders with the place over the spring and summer and the landscaping is taking shape. I have finally placed the final block for the front walkway. All that remains for that project is the placing of the edging timbers and I will be able to say "It is finished". Its only taken 3 1/2 years !                                              

      I have just started rehersals with the opera company and wil will be doing La Boheme in October. I plan to post a new Photo of the homestead once we have completed a few more projects.      

 On the not so nice front, Clawdia left us about a month ago. She was not doing well and Lee and I suspect that she went elsewere to die rather than burden us.  She just asked me to let her out after picking at her food and that was last we saw of her. I do miss her coming to my computer room window to be let in for breakfast after a night catting about.

Thats the news from Ganzhaven

Till next time
