March Madness

Hello relatives and friends,,,,Last night Merle Ann heard a small explosian...and glass breaking
She went out and did not find anything,In the morning she went down the hall way at the end of the house,My one gallon jug of home made beer had exploded....The glass pieces were found at both ends of the house, From the end bathroom through the laundry hallway in the kitchen and the living room..around 30 feet at least,,,,The beer was made from a "beer kit" Hint do not shake
a bottle when the contents are fermenting,,as I did from time to time,,When I was a teen ager in New Jersey we lived on a small farm,One hot summer day I was in the back room,,There was a just of cider on top a old Victrola (record player) a small window in back It had a cork on it.Curious I picked it up and shook the bottle and put it back,,The hot sun shinning through the window on it,,a few miutes later I heard a loud bang..I looked in the small room the cork was gone and vapor coming from the bottle,,I should have remmebered that,,,
Its still cold on the beach,,,I am hoping it get warm by Easter,,,Phillip Meyer S/sgt Ret.

Haiti gathering..memories of trip to Haiti

...This satuirday Merle ann (my wife) and I will go t the annual Haiti Gathering. in Charlotsville Virginia..Our Church helps a village in haiti in variouse ways. We have donated multiple sewing machines..Tons school supplys...I went out with a parishoner and help buy batteries and solar panels,..I have been to haiti three times. The place we would stay at before making the trip was destroyed by the earth quake...
The first time I went had my funniest story. The jeep left us at the base of the path leading to the school we would visit. As we started climbing hills I saw a very small building in the distance.
John our leaderssaid thats where we are going..Up and down hills slipping in mud falling in streams.drinking all my water and I made it.The haitian teachers we visited gaveme water from a cocnut.They knew I wuld not make it back so they but me on a donkey (very small)..I kept falling off as we went down the hill. In the distance I see John on his donkey.I shout out "Wait for me wait for me" but he was gone. Two haitians teachers help me One took one arm the other the other arm.They got me bottled waterfom the village..Up and down we went but I made it to the jeep,..Oh was i tired,,Haiti country side is rugged,,,When I made it back to where we ere staying I was muddy.dead tired,,,,,(But I made it)...Phillip Meyer S/sgt Ret,,,
