I think about running together mostly during that time. Man, I miss that. The bricks are still in place, each one having been successfully caught. David Hey Fred, Ed, Mike, my dear brother,

Those younger, stronger years were nice, and nicer as the distance between us and them widens. I think about running together mostly during that time. Man, I miss that. The bricks are still in place, each one having been successfully caught.

I haven't thought much in terms of permanence in this building process, mostly expediencies, but...the kitchen may be around for a while. Thanks for the pinpoint. David CL,

For some reason, the sledge hammer handles thrilled me, inordinately so. But there you have once again solid proof...simple pleasures for simple minds. David Thanks Ed.

Brilliant!! The place is looking good. Once the walls start up you'll be amazed at what you have accomplished. (Not that you haven't been already). Ed Richardson Dave,

We loaded up an International pick up truck called "Old Blue" with, if I recall correctly, two loads of that brick that we threw to each other to get them to the east side of Dave's place for a walkway. One small lapse in concentration would have made for an immediate reminder that no thought was as important as the thought of the brick now airborne and begging to be caught. That was years ago, younger stronger years, that fade in the immensity of this present work. This building with stone being coached by the spirit of Nehemiah's voice speaking stone upon stone.
