Thank You to Craig Schoneberg for taking the time out of his busy schedule.
My bid on the St. Judes auction resulted in winning a much wanted and cherished recipe from the past.
We had quite a conversation and I enjoyed the relaxing time.
Craig, You are welcome to visit anytime.
Thank you, Fred

Ken,
 Believe it or not. This is only the second Tradganger I've ever met in person.
I bet Craig left thinking, WOW that guy really does live in the sticks.

Ron did I ever show you that black walnut tree that I've been thinking of cutting down?
I'm going to keep his sister because she's bigger and stronger.
Sometimes you have to just trim the herd.

That's a nice one. I have one in my yard that's about 18" high and 1/4" in dia. Planted it 2 years ago!

One day while trapesing around this little 26 acre plot I decided to count coupe.
On the small side I counted 36 Black Walnut and 17 Mulberry.
Other side of the creek is double in size.
I'm going to try to leave most of this to my children, but I'm going to thin it a bit.

Ron,
 send me your address again. Got a little  sourdough starter for you. I already know you have one friend to share it with. I'll copy the directions and send with.
Figure it this way, sometimes we're just lucky.
What a great place to be at a time like this.
