"I attended the Christmas service at church yesterday."

I am happy you have that fellowship you cherish to spend time with on Christmas. I hope your Christmas was joyful in good company.

"I thought your problem was solved with some kind help from a neighbor! That is good!"

The corporation evicted me, and trespassed me from the property so I couldn't retreive my property. Then my neighbors did all of that work I was legally prevented, and Olivia was chief among them. She and the other good people rescued everything they could, and I only lost a few $T's of property to the thieving scoundrels, whom had sought to take everything from me. You well understand overlords oppressing common people, but the courage and integrity of my neighbors caused their high regard for me to spur them to defy their landlord and prevent the theft of my property to the best of their ability. They didn't just do a lot of hard, dirty work for me. They adamantly refused any payment, and defied their overlord that wanted my property with admirable courage.

I have never felt more loved in my entire life.

I am still concerned they will face retribution for their selfless acts. I am trying to secure a site where I can provide spaces for their homes so they don't have to live with the threat of illegal eviction and the theft of their stuff.

"I assumed you bought the girl next door a bike!"

Yes. Although I could not myself deliver it because I am still trespassed (and probably will be forever) and Olivia only learned the seat was not in the box the bike came in on Christmas Eve when she undertook to assemble it, she was able to use the seat from her own bicycle to enable her daughter to ride her new bike.

"...I can meet you!"

That would be amazing. I really hope you can arrange it. I often note you marvel at the expanse of country here, and I would love to show it to you during my hikes foraging for berries, mushrooms, or seeking game during hunting season, depending on when you visit. These are probably far more pleasant and fun things to do than laboring for my neighbors, or bloviating endlessly here, which is about the extent of my recreational opportunities. God willing, I will look forward to our happy meeting.

Thanks!
