You are very welcome.<BR/><BR/>I am reminded of this:<BR/><BR/>A Parable of Immortality by Henry Van Dyke <BR/>I am standing upon the seashore.<BR/>A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze <BR/>and starts for the blue ocean. <BR/>She is an object of beauty and strength, <BR/>and I stand and watch until at last she hangs <BR/>like a speck of white cloud <BR/>just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other. <BR/>Then someone at my side says, <BR/>" There she goes! " <BR/>Gone where? <BR/>Gone from my sight . . . that is all. <BR/>She is just as large in mast and hull and spar <BR/>as she was when she left my side <BR/>and just as able to bear her load of living freight <BR/>to the place of destination. <BR/>Her diminished size is in me, not in her. <BR/>And just at the moment <BR/>when someone at my side says, <BR/>" There she goes! " <BR/>there are other eyes watching her coming . . . <BR/>and other voices ready to take up the glad shout . . . <BR/>" Here she comes!

The temp was in the teens and twenties, Interstate 90 was closed from Mitchell to the Wyoming state line (about 300 miles) due to weather. Rapid City and the Black Hills got about 40 inches of snow, some of the ranches west of the Missouri River are still without electricity. Those who can't survive head south with the geese for the winter. Doug, your hat becomes you. C & D keep your coats buttoned, wear the hats, wrap that scarf around your face, hope the non skids work (I should have sent you some from Cabelas), and enjoy the winter. Love ya, love your blog.Leliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11149678985453133082noreply@blogger.com
