Cheryl,
No, we didn't do any wood cutting this time! Instead, we had a barbecue
where everyone had to grill their own steaks! No big deal for me, as this is
pretty common! The wood cutting wouldn't have been either, since my brother
and I built our own log cabin from trees we fell with a chain saw!
Fraternally yours,
Marion
