Judy, I hope everything works out for Leisa...as I've said before, she deserves to be happy!  Glad Mom and Dad were status quo...and Dad reads...that's awesome! He and Jerry carried on quite a conversation about the Cardinals when we were there...he can be pretty lucid about some things!   Pat, I know how you feel about those words uttered by your husband...mine usually by passes me and goes straight to one of his partners in crime...ie, the boys!!  Jerry was out working on the yard on Saturday!  He decided since the water level in the pond was down some, he'd take this opportunity to mow really close to the edge.  After awhile, I didn't hear the mower anymore, so I thought he was done.  I heard him come in the back door and go upstairs.  I finished what I was doing in my room and headed toward the kitchen.  I heard he and Jerome going into the garage.  What's happened? was my first thought.  Jerry had mowed close to the edge alright...so close, the mower went into the water and was beginning to float!  OMG...that's a $8000 "boat" going out to sea!! Jerome, still in his red Cardinals pajama pants,sleeping t shirt and glasses got the Jeep and headed toward the pond.  I was crossing the yard when he went into the water, pajama pants rolled up to his knees, winch cable in hand trying to "catch" the mower! Eventually, it got winched out of the water.  Thankfully, the stupid thing started and wasn't damaged...I heard Jerome saying something like "yea, Dad, that money I spent on the winch doesn't seem so stupid NOW does it?"  I know our neighbors must think we are rednecks...but what can you do...it's life on the farm right?   Off to shower and get ready for a long afternoon/evening.  Love you all,  Jamie
