Thanks scandi, have been but I don't know. He was a carpenter & owned timber property in Mission BC. Thanks for asking I was very troubled by what happened yesterday & wasn't sure what might happen today & had thought about staying away for a couple of days.
This community has become a place to share my favourite things with my friends who appreciate them as much as I do.
Regards
@scandi THANK YOU, there is another old saying that I try to live by " if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all"
@ scandi, witter?
Me too walksoftly...witter ? And I am sorry I started so much turmoil yesterday !! I will control myself in the future.
Ahh! witter: to chatter or babble pointlessly or at unnecessary length. n. pointless chat; chatter. [from dialect; compare twitter] ...
