    Really, Little Chute? I guess it is a small world. Is Kirkman your maiden name?

    We're probably cousins. My Mom was a Weyenberg. I went to school with a bunch of Hartjes's & Coonen's. I grew up on W. Main St. and then moved to Charles St. Finally left town in 1980.

    Must be related by name only unless I ask my Mom. She can tell me all about the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and on and on cousins I have even though I have no idea. My Mom was Lois Weyenberg. Her Dad was Martin (Zeke) Weyenberg. Maybe your relation is better versed than me.

    Yeah, I bet it's been hot there. Hot here too, but not like there. It has been in the 80's, nice....days relaxing in the pool. The FD has been crazy quiet, just waiting for hell to break loose.

    Dinner time, TTYL. Have a good night.

    I posted the picture of the 14,000 sq ft $3,000,000 arson fire that ELF (Earth Liberation Front) took responsibility for based on the bedsheet that was hanging on the locked front gate stated. Somewhere I have a photo of the bedsheet and what it said, I wil post it when I find it. It is the picture of the fully involved two story home with all the windows.

    I'm having foot surgery. I have bone spurs in the first joint of both big toes. I'll be off for about a month. Glad to hear you're doing well now. I made it through my latest back injury with physical therapy so I was lucky.
