Thanks for opportunity Gina and George....................we were number
244,483!!!!
Keep us posted about George's status.

Happy 4th to you all.
Daisy did great again this year with the fireworks and living in
Camas/Vancouver area we do hear some doozies. It really doesn't even phase
her.
We would love to come pick some berries again this year and let Daisy see
her Brier family. We will let you know when to make sure you all will be
available.
Glad to hear Annie is doing so well, what a fighter.

Stay cool this week, it is supposed to get hot,hot,hot.

Patty.
