Good luch Richard..it takes aboout half an day to get it done completely.

Good morning everyone...should of read I've been helpin gmy brother's wifey do their yard this year. It hasn't been easy with the dog from hell tearing everything up faster then it can be planted. 

Judy checked in, her house in Brewster, Washington was consumed by the fire...they are living in an bedroom of his boss's house right now, they got out with only family pictures and pets  they essentially lost house and everythign with it...so over in earthboppin.com she left her address, if anyone has anything to help with, though the agcencies seem like they are coming in all over theplace and they donated some of the schools for temporary living.  They are asking for gift cards or money for the most part...everyone is. Watch the fresh fruit jump up in price as they showed us pictures of burnt orchards with pears hanging off scorched vines. It rained here good share of yesterday really good, I don' t know where the fires were at, I think it helped them though. Some are now 50 per cent contained.Today it starts getting better, until early next week when they say it goes into the low 90's again. Not much going on, except the wind..ugh...this time with an overcast sky too.

I can't find out much about Rowland Dee past, because his son, John Dee was so famous...Rowland married Jane Wild supposedly.Jane'gravesend, Kent county, England. early 1500's....it says JOhn Dee's mother left everything to John before her death.

Bio says Jane had an daughter in 1525, an no more about her, this daughter is whom I have arriving in Maryland, from the Nottingham England area with an Larkin family..which I think now has been changed.  John Dee served both Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth...the last as her astrologer and advisor. At one time he got into serious trouble though as an kind of "charltan" with an guy named Kelly. Rowland was an sewer in KIng Henry VIII's court, but known as an textile merchant in his day..Janes father was kown as William Wild. There is much alchemy, the occult surrounding this family as there is astrology and political ties of the day.I don't believe all that's being said about the family..but it's pretty cut and dry what is said...they were also "Rosecrucians".  Supposedly the family background is Welsh. John Dee travleled the world over also. Jane might be one of my mysterious "Jane's" in the early Lawson family....but not quite sure.

At any rate, have some cleaning needing done around the house for the moment.  Have all kinds of kitty kisses on my windows need to be removed...if I can get hm to get off my computer also...he likes playing with the action advertisements on-line.  Esp. cards also.  My good luck charm under my nose?

We're no where near Llandudno James, we are in Aberystwyth which is mid way down the West coast. We did find a very good fish and chip shop the other evening though, recommended by the chap who runs the B&B. He's been very good at suggesting places to eat.
