Does there have to be so many damn twenties in today's date? Really aggravating to write. I finally get to write good news for the first time in what feels like an eternity. Danny was awake when I walked up the ridge earlier with Nadley. Both of us got to talk to "Bubba". Poor Nadley was in a full-blown sob when she was talking to him. She was fully convinced when we told her that he was having surgery to have his leg removed that he was gone. She has some weird ideas for such a little girl. Danny did not have too much to say. The pain medication had him so out of it, I doubt he will even remember we talked. Cassy sounds exhausted. I will be going back tomorrow to give her a break for a few days.
We got most of the logs cut today for the house. Gary is a workhorse. He might be lanky and lean, but he is stronger than I will ever be. And he is much better at dropping trees than I am. I swear he could hit a stake and hammer it straight into the ground with the pine we are cutting into. Nadley and I have left him to it, we have set to other tasks. We are working on a freshwater spring we found. I have a test kit. Gary is single and has agreed to stay here, working at cutting logs. He will check on the test in two days. If there is any bacteria growth, then we will need to look elsewhere. If there is no growth, then we are set on water hopefully. So much to do, and how much of the outside news have I missed? I can't be in both places at once. I feel it is only going to get worse.
