Spring Richy Update

The Chard has  graduated employment (retired) and is now spending his days working on his follow up to "The Hudson Highlands." He changes from "sleep" pajamas to "work pajamas," and is busier than ever.

I think this little nugget of insight into the way Richie's brain works...

and he discovered that our ancestors used to live in what is now a lobsterhouse. excitement followed...

One of the favorite Richy activities is emailing out photos with fun captions. Here are a few recent ones:

"Mouser"

Bye bye Love

Bye Bye happiness 

Hello loneliness, I think I'm a Gonna Cry    The Everly Brothers

Bye bye my Love goodbye

Bye bye my love goodbye

"The author cleaning the septic tank at a jewish boys camp for volunteer credit"

"In the southeast of northwestern Middle-earth, east of Gondor, Gandolph stepped into a cavern below Mordor, never to be seen again."

yesterday I sort of let my richie name the cat Graycie. 
But then he informed me it's "gray c, like jay z"

the five fingered gentian

Rich to me : Just a note to say thanks for a heartwarming letter you sent us. I'm proud of my Cara and I am sure whatever you do will be successfull. You will always have a spot on Bog Meadow Publishing whether it be editing, p.R., human resources or the gift shop Love Dey

Me::) did you talk to ----? he wants to help you

Me: ps you spelled successful wrong, botard

Rich to me: Help me what? P.S. Mom said you said you would rather live with GMa than our house. Is this true or just another story? I think your brave to live in any of the two houses. I would be happy for you to sit on the porch with me and lick ice cream cones all summer. Chris is never home , craig will be away and things really swing when dawn goes to Bo Town.

Me:help you research your book

Rich to me: He can't expect to start at the top. Maybe loading books in my truck or in the field he can hunt for the five fingered gentian.
