Thinking of You on Your Birthday

"When you would of been Sixty Four"

When I got older losing my life

Many years ago now

Will you still be sending me a valentine

Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

If I'd been out till quarter to three

Would you lock the door?

Will you still remember me, will you still think of me

When I'm sixty-four?

You'd been older too

And if you’d been here

I would be with you

I thought I lost all, when I lost you

When your light was gone

 Sit with me by the fireside

Sunday mornings go for a ride

Doing the garden, digging the weeds

Who could ask for more?

Will you think of me, will you still feel me

If I’d made it to sixty-four?

Every year we could of traveled to Los Barriles

If it's not too dear

We shall scrimp and save

Grandchildren on your knee

Riley and K-Moon

Send me a sign, drop me a line

Stating point of view

Indicate precisely where you are

Yours sincerely, wasting away

Give me your answer, fill in a form

Mine for evermore

Will you still think of me, will you love me

Had I made it to sixty-four?

Ho!

Fay Hill Landslide Update Blog #428

Last April, about the time we were heading home, part of the hill we live on gave way. Our trip to town went from 3 miles to nearly 9 miles. The county spent the summer trying to figure out how to fix our road and in the last few weeks, they have really started in earnest to repair the damage.

From the bottom looking up, you can see they must have acquired the land because they have started cutting trees and digging into the hillside.

This the same spot looking down the hill, but a few weeks ago.

Here near the creek bed is how far the road fell. Red line indicates road bed.

Carla is standing on the original road bed and I am photographing from above on a road they cut on the top of Fay hill. Carla thinks maybe they will split the traffic with one way going where she is and the opposite where I am standing...who knows?

I'm standing on the new road bed, near the top of Fay Hill, with marking sticks showing the boundaries of the clear cutting.

I wish I could read survey language, then I might know if this is going to be one lane or two.

The tractor above Carla is near the top and it is there that road is being split on the left, going up the hill.
It certainly won't be finished before we leave, but I sure hope it will be done when we get back.
