Fathers and Sons...

May 28th
Hey dad,
Hope you're havin' fun! I know I am - got a good suntan going, relaxing on my 3 day weekend - just got done mowing your lawn for Beth (she trimmed) and we enjoyed a Corona (with lime!) on the deck. How's your 3 day weekend going - are you having a barbeque, too?
Beth is typing this for me on her computer and I'm reading the Blog on your computer. What does Larry have in his hand on that one picture (the thing that looks like an orange)?
Work is fine, long hours and lots of lifting. Granted, not as many hours as YOU put in. I'm jealous of your view. I like your hardhat, too. Where did you get it?
Well - back to your blog. Can't dictate and read at the same time, you know.
Love you,
Rusty

Russ,
A Corona would be great. After work, back in the tent everyone places their order for drinks and imagines a nice easy chair. Then it’s back to reality.
Sasha, the Russian electrician took and apple and carved a likeness of Larry in it. Sasha and Larry have become good friends and the people here have nothing, so for Sasha to make this for Larry is a great honor. The hard hat I have, was in the truck that took me to the jobsite the first day, Roy looked at me and gave it to me with orders to return it to him when I leave…I promised it to Sasha. (What are they going to do fire me???)
What’s a weekend? We work straight through--10 hrs per day, but it helps the time go by.
As for the views the pictures don’t do it justice.
See you guys in a few weeks.
