Dear Family,
Since I know you are sitting by the computer just waiting for the next exciting edition of "Life In the Country", I am happy to send this next edition.
Today we had to get a South Carolina drivers license. We had already tried to get a SC Drivers license, but we were told that we needed a current drivers license (which we had), and our Social Security card, and birth certificate. Seemed a little extreme, but we had no choice but to agree and make another trip back to Orangeburg. On arriving at the DMV today, the line was short, and the girl was in a coma, lacking the typical friendly southern attitude. She asked Deborah if we were married. Deborah replied in the affirmative, and the girl said that we must then provide our marriage license. I'm beginning to think they really don't want me to have a South Carolina drivers license. But we found the marriage license and we will go back tomorrow and I fear only to discover that we will have to undergo DNA testing, background check, and possibly a credit check. I really hate to see what this thing is going to cost, and I am wondering if it involves tattoos of any sort (JJ).
Annette offered for us to pick pears at the farm, and we did, and tonight I am making some pear butter. So far, it is really yummy!

I cleaned the pump house yesterday so that I could keep the lawn chair cushions and some flower pots in there. I must have accidentally bumped into the pump. It used to start up really slow, letting the water pressure run down to a dribble before it kicked on. Now I have to go out and kick the pump everytime I want the water to run. Except for getting a drivers license tomorrow, the pressure switch may take priority. I hope the neighbors can't see me everytime I go out in my underwear to kick the pump or let the dog out. (No pics on this one, thank you)
As the day winds down, after our struggle with the SC DMV, and numerous trips to kick the pump, and a brief trip to Wally World for a few necessities, like oil for our excellent truck, some wood filler to fill some of the holes the previous owner (moron) left me, and some jars for the excellent pear butter, I put some casual clothes on and decided to settle in for the night. I hoist this in honor of Mom. The natives are proud of their corn liquor. I told Red, the Htg & A/C guy, that I preder potato liquor. I'm not sure what was so funny about that, but he laughed until he fell down. Some of these Southern folk are strange. For example, the beer of choice is Bud Light. When I offer the Bubbas a Bass Ale, they say they don't want none of that crap. This one is for you Mom!
Have you seen the excellent Ford truck??
Cool, huh??
Goodnight!
Can you really trust a Ford whose R is missing?
