<p>I must admit when I hear the term refugee, I don't see these

graciously provided, all I can say is "There but for the Grace

</p>
<p> I do not want to get the list any where close to political,
but all of us need to get our old tractors working a garden plot
that might feed ourselves and a few neighbors. I ordered some
heirloom variety seed last week, and I have got to get a place
cleaned out to start them under a grow light. Here in OK, we
have the craziest weather. Just as you think it is going to be
warm, boom it changes. And the OK hwy department will not pay
for any grass seeded or sodded that fails due to freeze between
October 15 and April 15. We now have rain forecast for 3
days. Usually May is the month of rains and that is when I have
to cut Rye for hay. this year it is beardless Triticale and it
looks like it may have died from the drought. Where I sowed it
in the pasture, the little taste of rain we got last week has it
turning green. But, in the wheat field I am trying to turn to
pasture, it looks dead. <br>
</p>
<p> I don't have any good ground for a garden. However, I have a
big pile of hay and cow manure that is getting black after I
pushed it up with the dozer last year. I plan to use the side
throw PTO spreader and then roto-till it into a place I have
stored hay for a couple of seasons. I have one of those 8 ft
chinese roto-tillers. I am trying to get an electric riding
cart to go between the rows and sit while working the plants.
Old age requires some innovations. When I was younger ( about
40 years ago) I built a garden on top of our septic lateral
field. We had one of the best gardens around.. I had dumped 13
yards of river sand and 8 yards of cow manure from the
stockyards and rototilled it with a commercial walk behind
tiller. With the development next to me and all the influx of
neighbors watching me, I will have to share the bounty probably.
Got to keep the neighborhood happy. <br>
</p>
<p>I didn't mean to get so long winded. I would like to commend
Mattias for his helping his fellow man in such an extreme
situation. <br>

<p>Mattias. thanks for the update. I don't believe any of
the group were concerned about where the money goes, but I
know I enjoy hearing of your experiences with these folks.
Our country is in trouble right now, and many of us don't
know how to fix it, but we are so fortunate that we don't
have to leave our homes and family behind to escape. We
have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers here in
Oklahoma.. </p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">You are doing great and though I've
only used a small part of your money it's made a big
difference. Today I've used som money for a children
car seat. We've got a lot of donated ones but needed
one more. When I'll get to it I'll make a document
showing how much I've got and how much I've spent.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So far you've reached 1400 $ and
I've spent a little less than 200. Remember we get
most things for free but this money is so useful when
not, no regulations only your trust in me and my
willingness to make most of it. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">There's much going on but let me
tell you 'bout Igor. Igor arrived friday and was the
only man. He is 54 and suffering from a stroke nine
years ago. He has trained him self to be able to
"walk" around on crouches, the kind that goes all the
way to the armpit like in an old war movie. He was
living next to an airfield that's been bombed several
times, with poultry and other animals. He believe he
is treated like a king here, first he arrived at the
old city hall (18th century built after the last time
the Danes burned down the town) and said it was a
castle. It's nice but smaller. Then we had him
sleeping at hotel (really fine one, for free) near the
hospital to have then evaluate his health. All he
wanted although was to live where he could wake up to
the rooster. So my neighbour Akko who are the "leader"
of all this took him under her wings today.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unknowing that he already went
there we arrived at her place tonight for some sauna
and I saw him through the window of her guesthouse. We
went there and our neighbour and another volunteer
arrived with Vodka and glasses to greet him welcome.
We did that but after we managed to use my phone for
letting him call home, which he last time did in
Poland 10 days ago.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We tried his phone first with a
Swedish SIM-letting you call for free that I've been
given by a phone company, then we used my phone. After
so many signals that we all were convinced that the
answering machine would answer his brother answered!
They spoke for awhile, very shortly I believe Igor
thought it was expensive for me and the smile on
Igor's face even though afterwards when we asked him
through Google translate how it were with his brother
and family he only answered "bombed".<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We've made so many other things...
I'm so proud of some people around me.<o:p></o:p></p>
