Jordan Lake. My truck Lapis is fixed! Thank you one and all! My appreciation to all who through your thoughts, prayers and donations made it possible for the mechanics to go ahead and get Lapis Lazuli’s transmission replaced. We are back out at the lake through the generosity and loving kindness of each of your hearts. Have a very very blessed day. Peace and grace, Doc Ellen

Thought you might enjoy seeing this youngster out and about and don’t you just love that glare?
