I completed most of the items on the to-do list.

We have walnut trees up at the lake. I understand your stain problems and I feel your toil and pain.

Some friends of ours are getting married, and Tom and I are going to wetness their wedding. They'll get married at the courthouse. We mulled around the idea of me officiating at a second service (I do not want to be responsible for anything. The courthouse ceremony is the one that has to "take.") I decided that I don't want to do it. I don't want it to be a joke, and I can't imagine doing a ceremony in a meaningful way.

I'm editing and editing and editing. My novel has a lot fewer mistakes in it than do my previous ones. This is mainly due to my new computer which doesn't add and delete things and doesn't have a sticky "k." But it's also due to the fact that I'm a better writer now.

I need a title. I might call it "Earth Songs" but I'm not thrilled with that title.

Happy stepping.
