Danny,

Hey boy! It's been gorgeous sunshine here in Juneau for over a week now - made me think of that May in '78? '79? Remember? We got, like, 34 days of sunshine in a row and set a record - haha!
We must've been up at the castle every chance we got. Stupidly getting drunk and walking around on 8 inch wide concrete walls with metal spikes sticking up every 2 feet or so and anywhere
from a 5 to 50 foot drop if we fell! How did we not get get injured? Not one of us ever fell off those stupid walls - even when we were drunk. Remember how Lisa was scared to walk, so she'd
always crawl on her hands and knees? How funny is that?

My incredible, beautiful daughter got married last Saturday (April 25th). It was wonderful and stressful - thank God I only have one daughter, huh?! I know you were there, and Tracy, too! I
could just feel so much love in that room. I will finally have time for my life again! I have revolved around her wedding for WEEKS! I am hoping to find all those pics and things I talked
about in my last post. I will, however, do my searching on rainy days - we get so little nice ones, I KNOW I will be spending them outside! I have one Hell of a garden - I think you'd like it.
In fact, I have a beautiful bleeding heart plant, and an abundance of very large and interesting rocks - I also paint now (you didn't know that, did you?) Where does this all lead? Well, a memorial
rock to be painted for you and Tracy and placed near my bleeding heart plant, of course! AND - I should be out there right now getting the poor plants I bought today, out of the pots, and
into the ground!

I am still planning on going to Sitka this summer, and having that goodbye talk with you - so you'd better be there, lol! I will try to find Jess, if he is still there.
I love you Danny-boy!
