Re: [pyrnet] Gordon's quest
Nancy , I would be happy to put you in touch with the land gurus
when you are ready. Wisconsin is a fine place, but when we gather a
few years,a warmer clime can help take the sting out of being on the
Social Security rolls. Actually, young people benefit the same way.
Many times I will know the property and can tell you some of its
history.
We are ready for cooler weather here, and that brings on one of the
most beautiful explosion of colors. Just how good the colors are
depends on whether it rains around September 20, then turns dry. But
the color is magnificent
in any case, I know certain sections there are too.
