At present the area is just an ugly gash where all the trees and foliage have been destroyed. I have my sprinklers going down there now but I wonder if it will grow any natural cover this late in the year. If I could keep the sprinkler there all the time we might make progress but that sprinkler has to cover that arm of the pasture every 7 to 10 days or the pasture burns. Anyway winter rains will restore its beauty if it doesn’t wash it all away. NIDs new syphon is snug and tight so no more winter ice forms. — The.

The melodrama, ‘The Saga of the Rough and Ready Pioneers’ will be presented at Secession neicomage: ‘The plays is the thing!’ : Friday evening I sat up-on our hillside for a while and watched the rest of the world go by. I find it getting more and more difficult to make that hill in one climb. This makes an excellent excuse to sit quietly and catch my breath. As Shakespeare also said ‘All the worlds a stage and the men and women in it merely players’. Its fun to sit up there and see how right he really was. Its a beautiful play with a beautiful setting. Life close to me is so different that it adds to the feeling of being an onlooker of the ; . Around me its so quiet you can hear the irrigating hcg Redacee . from the sprinklers. My friend the little rabbit has. come out of the brush to nibble. Seems to me I can almost hear him chewing. A few bees are still buzzing. Sometimes I think all of Marysville must take to the mountains over the weekends. The distance is almost‘a'steady roar.Probably most of the tra-velers are from some other area and just chose Highway 20 because it is so beautiful. Friday evening is such a pleasant change from their daily routine. They really act like kids fresh out of school. Our industrious neighbor across the way is working in his lovely weed free garden. Turns me green with envy. I can see my neighbor who is a cow freak like me out enjoying her cows. Only difference between Hepsi and I is that she knows something about what she is doing and has husband Bill to help her. Our fun loving neighbors are preparing for their Saturday night revels. Even our quiet neighbors on Rough and Ready Road are enjoying this beautiful summer evening puttering about. Glad its over! Elections that is. If we all voted it will be good. If we all voted intelligently it would be better. I for one find I can’t keep emotions out of it. Sometimes I vote for a candidate because I know and like him. Other times I vote against a candidate simply because I personally don’t like something he has done. I try to call this analizing but at best there is too much of personal feelings involved. Hope you did. better. Back to Hawaii! I suggested last week that you might be interested in your imu, opu, etc. An imu is a ground oven or barbeque pit. The pit for a luau is roasted here. We had our luau at the Keahou Beach Hotel on the Kona Coast of the Island of Hawaii. The women were greeted with leis in. the traditional manner-a kiss on both cheeks and an aloha. We had rum punch and after-a couple ofgreeting songs and dances we went on to stuff ourselves with al all the traditional luau foods even shushi. Shushi is raw fish and truthfully it isn’t bad. After we were thoroughly satiated andrelaxed we really saw and heard a beautiful program of music and Hawaiian style. Your opu is your stomach. Yourokole is your bottom. They were always telling ame to shove mine over. Even tho’, for Hawaiian women, big bottoms are still acceptable. In the old days brides were often selected, yes even given preference, for their weight. In the islands one must not say in the states. They are extremely proud of being one of the states. Its better to say mainland but they really glow when you saw: we Americans. They are very proud of the fact that oe rent es Hawaii, the little settlement of Ka Lee, is the southernmost point of the United States. It is Parker Ranch or pipi country. A cowboy is called a paniolo. This is the nearest sound Hawaiian language had to the Latin american have heard our half Hawaiian and half Jewish guide say Jewish. It came out one ee Ka Lae wasn’t as big as Rough and Ready, In fact most of the Hawaiian cities are very smallexcept for tourists. =
