August 2008






Hi all,





This is for the middle month of August 2008 and just a quick entry before I go to work this morning. This month has been full of music...Mack is busy playing bluegrass again--the old Klamath River Ramblers are practicing again each tuesday night at the Bachs home...and they do sound pretty good. I love it and just go and listen and feel frustrated that I am not good enough to join in. haha.
This month is our 13th anniversary on the 21st. We are celebrating by going to dinner and just enjoying being with one another...I am so happy we have had such a fun 13 years together and know we will have many more years ahead. Mack is my mr. wonderful.
Mack and I went to the Siskiyou county fair on the Sunday morning of it's last day. I had helped with the Auction Breakfast that Raley's puts on for the 4H-ers and FFA and aution people. We served over 600 people. Mack came over when it was done and we enjoyed the early morning hours there and saw the clydales and tigers they had there this year..Glad that we got to go--missed last year, won't let that happen again. Teresa Jo went to the mid-state fair with her girlfriend...you can take the girl out of the city..but can't take the country out of the girl..






It was really hot all last week here over 100 degrees each day and this week it is back to 80's now again....more livable. Went to the water slide with Wendy and her daughter Britt and her girlfriend on last friday and we had such a fun day. Glad that we went...I needed the outing.






August is a tough month for me being that it is Bonnie Jo's birthday month and yet this month- rememberance date was good...I looked through a few old mementos and remembered some good times..and felt alittle sorrow that I am not able to celebrate her 32nd with her...but still I feel that she is very near by...and for that I am very thankful.


Eric got home for his 20 day leave vacation from Iraq Too...He hopefully will be down to visit us for 4 or 5 days..he said that he wants to get out of Yelm for a few days...we would have gladly gone up there to visit him, if he had wanted. I am so very happy he is home..It is the hottest time of year over there and he is out for a break..He will done over there in about 8 or 9 months.


We are preparing for September...we will go to Plymouth Bluegrass festival on the 18-20th ..and then two weeks later will go see Teresa Jo in San Luis Obispo. Can't wait for both events.


Well must get ready for work now...but thought this would be quick anyways...


Hugs & Prayers,

BJM
