new cards

First: to surfsister I hope that your ankle gets better I know what it is like to be out of the water for some time. two year ago I was standing on my (wet) front porch with my worn out flip flop when I found my self on the ground with 4 broken ribs I was out of the water for 8 week.

     next; I got my business cards that my brother gave me for chritmas( he took the pic's at christmas time) look so good. also a hand board I made for a good friend of mine. I  traded it for a bag of hone made hot tortillas yum yum. I think I got the best of the deal!

I have looked at this tree across my back wall for 50 years.The lot was sold to a knucle headed contractor. It would not be in his way of the new house. but he said it was ulgy. So I said you better go hide if they are takeing out ulgy thing because you will be next!!! Like I say stupid people do stupid things   MRMIKE
