May 27/08.
Lloyd arrived with 4 railway ties on his half ton. These could have come from the very railway that brought a young Rod MacKillop from Cape Breton in 1926 (and the rest of us are history). We dropped off the ties near the north fence across from where neighbour might subdivide a second acreage. The ties will support young Rod's storage container which arrives this weekend. I imagined a used ugly box sitting there and recall Dad saying years after I settled here, "I'm glad you never put a caboose car down by the rocks because I came west by train and never wanted to see another one." Amazing how things come around.
