The Last Day - The fencing goes up and the job is complete!

Good Morning to all
Here are the Cemetery work plans. 
We hope to make this the last trip.
I have been watching the weather forecast on three TV stations and if we can believe them it looks like this coming Saturday April 9th will be a descent day to finish the fencing.  One station says dry and another says 20 % change of rain. I think we can live with that.  If they don't change it again in the next day or two lets see if we can get this fencing finished.
I have talked with George Wilkerson and he is off that day. I have also talked with Albert Thompson and he thinks he might can help. Bring Paul alone with you Albert.
I have everything we need to install the fence, however if you have a pair of favorite fence pliers etc; I will leave that up to you.
If you can find the time and would like to help or just be a part and come we welcome you.
Dollie would you please let me know if you might want to furnish the meals that day. KY fryed chicken sounds good to me or whatever you might like to do. We have one here at Mt. Juliet. We will help you with the expense.
George and I will be at the Cemetery around 9:00 am so anyone that wants to can just drift in anytime you can make it.
If for health reasons you are unable help with the work you are welcome to just sit and talk, watch or whatever. You might want to bring a chair to sit in.  I am sure our relatives that are buried here would rejoice in the gathering.
Keep check on your e-mail this week so I can keep you posted to any changes in plans.

Hi to all
Just a note to let everyone know that plans are still on for now to finish the fencing on Saturday April 5th.
I went over on Wednesday and cut a few stumps down below the ground so they would not interfer with our fence and I also pulled dirt around all the post to cover the concrete.
There is little left to do but install the fence. We do have a little raking to do of limbs, sticks, roots etc; to clean up what we messed up on our good friend Dave Velheim. 
Depending on what time the rain stops on Friday, I may go over and check to see if it might be too muddy. Only one corner might give us a problem due to the exposed dirt where I dug down with my tractor. It was a pile of dirt (I believe) left over from graves.
Keep check on your mail in case there are any last minute changes.
Looking forward to getting through.

Hello to all
Well I hope you have been anticipating this e-mail. Linda and I visited the Cemetery around 3:30 pm this afternoon to see if we might get to finish the fence tomorrow.  It is a little wet as you might expect but mainly on the left front corner. We think we can manage. Might need some boots for that front corner.
I have talked to my good friend George Wilkerson and we have decided to go ahead with plans.
I will try to be there around 9:00 or 9:30 am with all the fence supplies. I have everything we need.
Anyone wishing to help or just come and be with us welcome to do so.

Dollie
Do you still have plans to furnish the meal?  If so anytime around noon will be fine.
Let me know if you need directions to the local Kentucky Fried Chicken unless you have something else in mind.
You can call me tonight or in the morning at 615-449-3385 or my Cell at 615-305-1347.
Hope to see you there.
