[one evening in our back yard early in July --a beautiful sight! our my kitchen window!]
Dear Family and friends...
It has been over a month since I really entered into blogging land...formally and alot has been going on. Lots of work, sewing projects, cleaning up after winter-time...and getting ready for summer. It has finally arrived today...it feels wonderful..and so I bought 3 flats of yello Pansys to plant tomorrow when I get off work. I have been doing my repotting of plants in stages this year, because it is usually overwhelming to me after I spend a whole day doing nothing else. So a hour here and a hour there...and that is much easier.
I truly have been enjoying having my daughter Teresa Jo nearby...it has been a double blessing for me...and each chance I get I run out to visit her. Yesterday after Church I ran out and we had a great hour visit and she made me a nice breakfast. What a pleasure to have this time with her. I have missed her for 7 long years... Since she left for SLO College days...
We just got back from taking Molly to the Vet again...she has been in and out of her favorite doctors office much too often lately.. she had surgery about 1 1/2 months ago on her torn ACL back leg...and has totally recovered almost...but now had to have a small bump on her right front paw checked... it is a "Wart" and he gave us some stuff to fix it with... poor baby..she won't like this I am sure.
We lost a good friend of ours in end of April..."Frank C. Barrett" one of Mack's close friends in the S.O. He had a sudden stroke/annerysim (sp?) and was only 44 years old. We still can't believe that he is gone so soon...we never imagined that something like that could happen to someone so young. The friends of him are putting on a Memorial Dinner to help raise money for his family...as he left a wife, 4 year old son...and step son also, and his mom. :( it was just tragic.
So now that Summer is here,....I don't know which way to go first... There are alot of avenue I want to explore and should get my list together for the season.
We do plan to attend Susanville Bluegrass festival later this month...and maybe get to go to Reno also...we will see...
Got to talk to my Son Eric many times this month............ Last time~~~~
I must take a break now...and promise to write again soon...Have a sewing alteration for a friend to get started on.. Yesterday I made a heater cover for a propane heater we have in our camper... it turned out really nice...will take a picture of my fine job of sewing...haha! {did do piping on it though, and haven't done that in years..}
Hope this finds you all well...Hugs & prayers,
Bette Jo & Family
