6,5.09: 4 days after my all time favorite #1,#1 daughter’s birthday and my most favorite son in law Evan, whose multi-tasking qualification and talents are boundless and would easily qualify him for a premier position at the highest circle in the celestial choir if he would just acknowledge which religion, cult or deity truly represents the highway to eternal bliss.

Now that I have that off the table I can tell you that we left a 105 degree day time temperature to a 36 degree night time temperature the same day. If either of you have any control over temperatures would you please send some of ex-president Gores global warming up here. The MN natives like Suzanne Marline say “if you don’t like the weather wait 5 minutes and it will change’. And it does. The only thing we haven’t experienced since arriving ere a Kansas tornado or snow, sleet or ice.

now we are at the point of asking what is going on in the Evan and Mary John world and how do we tune into the splendiferous Evan John solo” As you probably know we as usual, forward our telephone number and our e addresses here just a tad south of the arctic circle.

I don’t know if I ever told you the story of Lady Di’s birth. Her blessed sainted mother Alyce was carrying Diane while working at the Marlin dry goods store in Osseous the bible mentioned, her time had come while she was waiting as usual on a customer so, without stopping work she mentioned to Diane that she was waiting on a customer and Diane would get first priority after she finished with the current customer.

At which time the biblical created of the world in 6 days, this was before the unions and he said to Diane, because you have been so good and patient, I will create you as the most beautiful and intelligent on my new planet. And he did but he said there is one stipulation for you by being so beautiful and intelligent. I will send unto you one of my greatest failures and you will marry him and cherish him until the end of his or your days, which ever comes first. She agreed and so it came to past in her third trimester of life he came upon her and thus endeth her care free, happy existence.

I am sorry to digress but since 2003, and with a cadmium mesh plate on the right side of my head (Where there was plenty unoccupied space, my mind wanders of its own accord. For example today I met a gentleman who is 49.5 % OJIBWA Indian formerly of the Sioux nation. Born and raised on the reservation, I learned in 15 minutes more about the MN INDIANS then I had ever even heard of. That was an example of my wundering wandering mind.

Sorry to have taken so long to get through the introduction to our move. Will have to wait until we hear from you regarding what you and Evan’s children and your children and grand children have been up to in the real world.

Love from dad, grand dad, great grand dad and long suffering Lady Di. Bye for now.

There you have another of my dad's fanciful letters. It can be really fun to wander around in his mind. The composition is wonderful-- airy and light, yet not at all without structure. His "lovingness" always comes through.

I have not been blogging. I have not told anyone I have a blog. I have so many emails to continually write to a very large extended family I enjoy being in touch with that -- I don't write anywhere else. Oh, except in my numerous journals hand written and scribbled in and left lying in nearly every room of the house. I do have an ongoing novel I am piecing together, but I don't think that counts as really writing it if you don't sit down every day and pound out your requisite 2,000 words or so.

So here is what I think: I shall use this blog as for myself alone, consistency of content be damned. I shall plan to write something often, on whatever subject, and see what transpires.

Best regards, outside persona of self, and tata for now,
Mary H
