If having an affair made you a terrible president...

50. Yes, the mowing is a real, literal, pain... but I have to do it. I am glad warmer weather is

finally upon us, too. The past 6 weeks have been pure hell on everyone around here! It would be in the high 70's to low 80's one day, then in the 40's to 50's the next day. We actually have a saying here... "If you don't like the weather in Tennessee, just wait a little while and it'll change!"

As for the mowing, I have close to 4 acres to mow... 7 when I do my dad's yard, too... and I have a bad back and neck (been broken, plus multiple surgeries) that gets so sore it's all I can do to get off of the mower and into the house to lay down when I am done. My only saving grace is that I have a 54 inch mowing deck, so I get a good swipe with each pass. It sure beats the time when I only had a 36 inch deck, and took a couple of hours off the mowing time.

I have been done for about 4 1/2 hours now and have been laying down since. I am still a little sore, but at least I can move now!

Back to the main topic of my reply.... a LOT of slave owners "took liberties" (RAPED) their female slaves, and had children with them. This is an historical fact, though I DID state that I didn't know how true the story about Washington is, but I DO know that I read it long before I had "the internet". I didn't get my first computer until July of 1999...

Peace,
