Triplex in a Good Spot

["One of my birdhouses (the top one) is safe in a good tree"]

This just arrived from a customer:

   Hi

   I bought a birdhouse from you last fall at the McCormick

   Home bazaar and promised a picture once we had it installed.

   Well with the unusual weather we have had, my husband

   got it installed last week, now I have been told that it may

   take up to a year for someone to try it out.

   I'm sure we will enjoy watching for that to happen.

   Regards

   Darlene and Bob P.

Well, as per usual, I had something to say in reply:

["Note to self - Build another log cabin triplex, maybe two more."]

  
   Hi Darlene,

   Thank you for the photos. Your husband has done a fine job

   placing the birdhouse securely to a good spot. Some birds are

   in the habit of raising 2 - 3 broods per season so you may yet

   have some luck this year.

   Well done!

   Gord H.

Stink. I shoulda asked for photos of their first arrivals. I'll write back later.

My Sister's First Vehicle

One of my sisty lovelers, now living in PEI, has a new set of wheels. She describes it thusly:

   the "new to us" John Deere riding lawn mower...

   apparently it's my Mother's day gift...

   Jim hopes I'll have the lawn cut while he is at work.

The photos she sent via email have got me thinking:

She doesn't have a driver's license

Her hubby works every week day

She'll want to go shopping, say next Wednesday

She'll think about the John Deere

She'll get arrested for speeding outside Charlottetown

The family name will be front page news!

Actually, I like how this is going.

Re PEI lobster season

My oldest sister and hubby recently moved from Bracebridge to PEI. Bold move, I say.

This just in:

Hello family and friends: sending a few pictures of what the opening
season of lobster fishing looks like..it begins May 1st and the
fishermen are allowed to put their lobster hutches on the docks a
couple of weeks early..

As the docks are also public domain, they aren't allowed to put
them out whenever they want to..there are rules..Frank, Caron and I
will be getting up at 6 a.m. May 1st, with a thermos of tea and
muffins to watch the boats load up and take off, I'm very excited as I
haven't witnessed this big exodus before..

I'll sleep in 'til 8:00, then catch it on the news.
