Good Morning to All,

First a Big Thank You to Granddaughters Katelyn and Finley for visiting the website for the first time and for both sending me emails.  They listened intently last night to the second Uncle Joe story, which I just finished writing in time to tell them.  They both really liked it.  I am heartened and will be doing more work to get that one ready for the site.

It is a bit overcast with a hint of rain.  You can see the blue peeking through, so it should be clear for an early Texas hot day, 90’s not 100’s yet.

I am off to the Bread Ministry to pick up day-old breads and cakes and pies (they look fresh and yummy to me) from two groceries and deliver them to the Brady Street Mission and Austin Street Shelter near downtown.  Then, I’ll try a bit of writing — Ms. Colleen was so kind as to give me some excellent editorial comments to “Uncle Joe and the Haunted House.”  Later, Ms. Mary and I will head down to Waco for a graduation at Baylor.  Afterwards, we’ll stay the night at the farm and spend Saturday with Ms. Christine and Uncle Joe.  Perhaps, Uncle Joe will relate some recent happenings or older recollections for a another story.  In the country, you never know what you will hear or see.  I’ll take the camera.

Have a fantastic weekend and tell someone a story,

Grandpa Jim
