Christmas 2008

Grandpa & Bodhi

Eldest daughter Jessica and grandson Bodhi flew the ‘redeye’ into San Francisco from Kauai yesterday in time to help cut a dead-standing Blue Oak not far from the house. An old fence corner, we left the trunk with embedded barb wire for another day. Grandson #2 (Cutler Irl) arrives this afternoon from Santa Cruz.

Comments

John and Robbin,
I like the thread of wood in your blogs and poems of late. And nice to see your grandson by your side at Christmas. Good to have help and company. Mom has grandkids here for Christmas that are helping her with wood as well. Mountain mahogany is our wood of choice around here but you have to work and look especially hard for it.

John, I really like your new poem Get Along.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Meg
