  1. Is this in response to my question about Bud? ;) We enjoy reading about him. I didn't realize before he was Mike's little bro. Nice photo...he really looks like a Fisher. Speaking of Fishers, I heard that Little Fish scored his first goal of the season...this Pal doesn't just follow playoff hockey...let's see how long it is before hockey is brought up again on Pals :)

    God bless you all!

    I was just checking the NHL transactions, and I say that David Shantz was called up from the minors...it's so cool to recognize a name you've told us about...please tell him we hope for him all the best :)

    God bless you and your family, especially as you get ready for your open-house weekend...
