  • HAPPY THANKSGIVING, SCOTT!

    Hope your busking is going well…

    Got your postcard, came across it again, and thought we should post a response This version was very well done! Creative visuals as well!

    Still no sign of Pepper.

    Buried 'little Russia' the other day…mysterious fatal injury. She somehow made it home…and we were able to say good-bye! She died in Barb's arms~

    We're hangin' on here, as half the country is, considering the economy!

    GOD BLESS!

    Paul (and Barb)—
