I'm hope now reading back you do get a bit of a laugh either or cry.

We have no wood collecting here, so I enjoyed reading this very much.Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011936380845362530.post-26320895268253998442012-06-03T11:07:03.927-04:002012-06-03T11:07:03.927-04:00Wonderfully narrated tale, so glad that no-one was...Wonderfully narrated tale, so glad that no-one was injured and that friendships remained intact.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I can't believe the process this took to obtain a heat source. I do rather like the idea of a wine cellar, seems like a perfect renovation. :) Glad to hear that the buddy was fine and cackling in the vehicle. Love that he stored the memorabillia behind the barn. What a hoot and great conversatinal piece. <br />My husband's grandfather was born in Milford, NY in 1906 and graduated from Syracuse in 1928 from the University School of Forestry. I do believe he would have giggled his entire way through this!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing another fabulous Sunday Story Time with us.Lisa Mincklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707109305523594370noreply@blogger.com
