Utopian State - there's no other word for the little house on Lake George where Ginger lives...and where now there is so much wood to CHIP! Seriously, you need a Chipper - and fast! There is nothing, nothing at all like the smell of morning at the Lake, walks in the woods, scouting for animal tracks and taking home the best of the fallen leaves to preserve in our books-of-the-moment. And at the end of the day, a nice wood fire. I'm missing it already - now I know the Lake in 3 seasons - the only one left is SNOW! I'll be back - make your Trader Joe's list.

Ginger, Great meeting you last Tuesday. Enjoyed your WEB-SITE and articles. Joe Moran at COWANS, was very happy you contacted them. Don't hesitate to check with them again if you don't hear anything in a couple days. BEST WISHES!!!!! Jack (518) 391-8252
