Deb, Nice of you to think of me. Hope it was good thoughts!  Been keeping busy getting wood put up for winter, got the new soapstone stove installed in basement, camping with grand kids.  Last fishing trip was last month before it got cold. Thought I had one apartment building sold but deal fell apart. Being a landlord for low income people is a challenge to say the least. Taking oldest  (4) grand kid to Megan's in Wilmington for Thanksgiving. I built her a deck last time there.  Hope no more projects!  Investigating a fishing trip to Belize this winter.  Have not sold that idea yet to Maureen. My son got promoted to principle at the high school he has been teaching at.  He's getting a taste of management problems now, what with budget squeeze.

Hope all is well in St. Louis.
