Hi John….

How do you like the title of this letter?  Yes…Dan G. will be renting and living in the old Jonesville store and making it into a community market!  I am thrilled with his plans.  So here is the deal.  You know he started the Back Country Pizza business which has been doing well.  I heard he was cooking them at the Green Grocer’s spot.  When I heard that Chris was closing I emailed Dan the question “what was he  now going to do?”  He said he didn’t have a clue yet and he had just given his notice at his other job.  Then I get another email with his big plans.  He hopes to open May or June 1st.  He wants to create a community kitchen where others can come and cook or bake….test out recipes..or whatever.   As you can imagine there is a ton of stuff to do before he opens.  I offered my help and I’m sure he could use yours when you return.   This is exciting.  I’ll keep you posted on the details.  Oh, there is a space for rent upstairs that would be good for a massage or artist person.  That is the exciting Jonesville news.

I spent the morning cleaning the yoga space and the house.  I went for a short run with Chai.  Satori needs to give her leg a rest.  I left her home with a bone.  After that I went to pick up your newly fixed Prius.  They did a good job.  Gabe asked me a question that I still need to answer.  The guy at the shop didn’t know either.  So we have a $500 deductable on our cars in case of an accident.  Since you hit an animal it is only a $100 deductable.  Gabe asked what if you swirved to avoid hitting an animal and hit a tree.  What is your deductable then?  I hope the answer is still $100 or else the animals are at a disadvantage.  I will have to get that answered sometime.

I brought your summer tires and will get them on, have an oil change and detail the interior to your car.  That light tan fabric always looks so ratty.  I think a Spring cleaning is necessary for that car.  So when you return you will have a clean happy car.

I needed to call Shane today and ask for you driver’s licence for some paperwork.  I have many other numbers yet didn’t have that one.  I decided to call him later and in 5 minutes he called me.  This was the third time I ever talked to him and he called at the right time and had your licence number handy.  Interesting.

I did a few more small errands this afternoon and got home at 3:00.  Gabe & I played a little lacrosse.  I got better as we continued on.  It helps that I wear my glasses.  Chai and Satori loved chasing and stealing the balls.  At some point we walked over and looked at the pool and it was almost empty.  The bottom hose had popped out due to ice melting.  Ooops.  There is a big ice cude still in there however I need to fill it soon.  Gabe & I hauled the hose into the garage for overnight to help avoid it freezing more.  I will lay it in the sun tomorrow to try and melt the ice in the hose.  Maybe I can get Janet’s water into the pool tomorrow.  I guess I will also need to treat the water.

Speaking of water your poopometer’s light is totally out.  I tried another batery and it still did not work.  Maybe something got dislodged accidently due to traffic in and out of the house.  Not sure.  I’ll investigate that also tomorrow.  The good thing is that we are trained now…at least I am. 

Yoga tonight felt good.  Great to practice with such good friends.  You are missed there also.  So today marks 3 weeks since you left.  I imagine you are really in your groove now…and passed the honeymoon stage.  I send my love and energy your way.  I imagine you could use a boost right about now.  Much love…d
