Happy Birthday, Pat!!! Hope to see you soon! VAW got through the last monsoon ok - hoping our luck holds!!
Happy Birthday, Mike Have a wonderful day and be kind to yourself and Jean. Been back to MN for a month and glad I made the trip to AZ last winter but life is different without my partner of 62 years. Getting a good three day rain, really needed by farmers. I tilled the garden a week ago but never planted, now I will be able to put the garden in this weekend. See you in early November. Jim Mootz
Happy Birthday, Byron
Miss you and Joanne at the village. Understand there is some medical issues with your health. Best wishes for recovery and getting well. It's never tool late to come to AZ, maybe this is the year to fly down. I can pick you up at either airport and get you back to an airport as long as you don't stay beyond mid April and I am sure we as a village can get you most places you might need to go.
My year is very different and sometimes difficult but life must continue and everyone says it takes time, too bad I'm my patience is short. Jim
Happy Birthday, Greg
