Well I'm heading back to Boston to visit O again. I will really try to finish the patio this time. The tree is down and out of the way. Got some other small projects and the site seeing and visiting the Melrose Social Club is always fun.
As for the rest of the summer, my travel plans are as follows:
The Africa trip is out for this summer cause everyone that was interested in going has now backed out. They have good reasons and they have assured me that it will happen next year. I hope so. Germany and Italy will be coming up in July and then Costa Rica in August. Looking forward to these two trips. Germany and Italy are kind of open trips right now, Alicia is planning some of it. Maybe I will ask for a sitting with the Pope and I've heard the restaurant Olive Garden trains their chefs in Tuscany, so maybe I'll look for their chef school, LTS. She has planned out the Costa Rica trip, Canopy watching, zip lining, and white water rafting. Can't wait for all that. Got to make sure my life insurance policies are paid up.
There is a chance that I could go Carabou hunting in the early fall, but haven't finlized that yet. Carabou are Santa's reindeer. The trip consist of flying into Montreal, then flying North to the frozen trunda in a puddle jumper, then taking a waddle boat to a camp site on an island.
We will also be taking a trip or two to Las Vegas, maybe one in October for work and for sure one in December for Alicia.
Any takers on any of the trips are welcomed. Till next time, Arrevaderci, Jorge

The fields are full of glory!
Got to go to the Farm (God's Country), and it was beautiful. Green and growth everywhere. The dewberries are still going strong. Some real big and juicey ones. I eat dewberries everywhere, left and right, north and south. My tomatos are setting wonderfully, lots of them. The green beans are going out of control. The peppers are coming on. The basal is unbelievable. I always have problems with corn, I don't know why. I have a few peaches and plums also.
The fields are full of black-eyed-Susans, what a beautiful sight. While walking I walked up on 3 seperate deer in 3 different locations. The does are dropping the fawns now so the does are out alone. They stay near the fawns but not close and if something comes close they bolt up and pretend to be hurt as they trot away so that you will follow them and not find the fawn.
My hay field will be cut today. Hope to get about 25 big round bails.
Ah La Bonne Vie, Till next time, Jorge

Back at The Homestead!
Well just got back from visiting O and had a wonderful time. One of the places we visited was called Ipswitch, I think it is spelled correctly. This is a place I would not mind spending more time at, say a whole day. Alicia and CJF get along great. We all played tennis and baseball, two of my favorite sports. I would much rather play a sport then watch it on TV. We also worked on house projects, another of my favorite things in life. I am really enjoying working with rocks. Building rock walls and steps. I have always had an interest in rocks but have never really been around them, now I know why my interest.
O got what I think was a terrific bargain on a book she has given me to read, only 25 cents. I am really enjoying this book. It is somewhat challenging for me as I have always had a very tall wall to overcome in reading books(never read a book or Cliff notes before Alicia gave me a book to read about a year ago). This book is about 500 pages of small print, yuk. But what is keeping me going is the subject.
The book is titled "Crazy Horse and Custer" by Stephen E. Ambrose. I have always had a facination for Crazy Horse and Custer, sometimes I think that I have always looked up to these two men. Reading about their lifes is just out of this world for me. I have always been interested in the life of Indians. Somehow I feel like I can relate to the life of the Sioux. One interesting thing is that the Indians beleive in the circle of life. Something I also believe in. Where as the white man believes in a linear path to life. I can see both points of view, and they are detailed in an excellent way in the book.
