    There’s nothing better on a hot summer day than to take a dip in the river or creek if it’s deep enough. :biggrin: Hope everyone has a good week and happy 4th of July. :hug: :shimmy: :wave:

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either.
