Hello to all,
Now have satellite high speed internet.  It is so nice to be back in the 
group.
Just finished reading September and October's emails.  

Very interesting about the funeral ideas.  At 75 it seems that I had best get 
some plans made.  Years ago I purchased a book called Caring for the Dead  
Must get that out and see what is legal in the state of TN.  My desire is to 
be buried on the land I love in a pine box, if that is all the available 
money can do.  Second idea would be cremation and have my ashes spread on my 
hillside.  That might be too expensive, so time to get the book back out. It 
certainly would not be fair to leave the final plans to my only child or my 
only sister!!

Hope everyone had a great garden this year, mine did not fair to well with 
the HOT summer and black container plantings.  All my established perennials 
did great though! My flocks are still blooming. The deer ate all 40 of my 
hostas on the back hillside, big bummer.   

Sure am enjoying our beautiful fall weather and the colors are going to be at 
their peak in another week or so.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires
only one.  It has to be you.  The problem 
begins and ends there.
