Hey Mohayes

Thanks for the gifts. I really like the book. I have started reading it and it is very interesting. I will use the sifter as soon as the ground gives way. I even liked the newspapers from Montana. Interesting reading about other areas of the country.

I find those sifters to help greatly. I received one like that last year and it is very useful.

Non-fiction historical books are my favorite as they help a lot in research, some even have drawings of settlements that lasted for only a couple of years. Here in Montana, the general forested areas don't change that much because the lack of moisture in a given area most likely hasn't varied that much over the last 150 years; except for logging so the sketches from the mid 1800's are probably very much like what it is today.
