Then I hope I still have dibs on one that you and Rose collarborated on. I can't remember the title. You said it was your second favorite of the bunch. I want to pay for it!!!
I do live in beautiful country. My village board is imperiling us with their eagerness to take every dime the state will give us, though. That makes me want to move to a more sensible village, as much as I love living in this one. It's even more beautiful in the smaller villages, and they are like little Brigadoons.

Yes you do! And we are honored! I swear I’ll jump at the first opportunity to get hold of a reliable vehicle for delivery.
The more I travel about these later years, I realize I live in a beautiful little town too, if only the culture wasn’t so degrading and dumbed down. Kenneth Patchen wrote that he hates the rich but despises the poor. I feel the same. We are a very poor county who collectively cannot see the absolute wonder all around. We make it ugly, even with all this wealth compared to generations past. Political, tribal, careful, and salmonella in the factory eggs. All this beauty erupting in front of our faces, one would think to pay anything just to keep it. Conserve it. Hold it ready for the next generation. Oh well. Dream on Ron!

Beautiful tune. I might have to learn it.
What are the dimensions? It might fit in my car. I remember 5' by 5'.
I'm currently very frustrated with my village administration because they think grant money from the state is manna from heaven and they apply for grants willy nilly. Each grant comes with onerous administrative duties, such as annual reporting of information that, I think, should stay in our hands only. I don't mind the ramshackle homes, as long as the folks living in them are kind, and most of them are. At this point, it is very easy to live here. If you want erudite, you gotta make it for yourself, which is fine, too. We have a fabulous arts center, and lots of artists live in these hills, not only a few as hermits. Only one gallery, with very reasonable prices (not free) and local-only pieces. My only complaint is the food, and the food is deplorable. This is a food desert.
