ANOTHER GREAT GRANDCHILD

I am so proud to announce the birth of
my third great grandchild. Aaron Lee born
today at 12:29 this afternoon 7lbs 6 oz, 19
inches long. Mom, baby and dad all doing
well. He has an older brother, Ethan, and
sister, Abigail. As soon as I receive a photo
of Aaron I will post it.

TEA SET

My husband and I went to some yard sales
today. Pictured above is just one of our finds.
When I saw this tea set I knew it would go
in my Victorian room and I sure was right. We
also found or at least I did some more things
to use in my decorating for different holidays.
A 6 foot white prelit Christmas tree, fall
scarecrows , pumpkin place mats, silk poinsettias,
Easter dishes, stuffed Easter bunny, and a
Christmas kitchen towel new never been used.
Oh yes and two boxes of Christmas ornaments and
I mean two large boxes with all kinds of ornaments.
I just love it when I come home with great finds at
reasonable prices.

TOMATO PLANTS AND ZINNIAS

This was supposed to be my flower bed but
as you can see I have mostly tomato plants
and a few flowers (zinnias). The tomato plants
came up by themselves. They have some
green tomatoes on them and hopefully I will
get some nice juicy, red tomatoes soon.

HAPPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER

"That beautiful season the summer!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and
magical light; and the landscape lay
as if new created in all the freshness
of childhood."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow~

I hope everyone's summer is a good
one and a safe one.

ENJOYING THE POOL

My daughter, Deann, and her youngest came

over today to enjoy the pool. They try to come

over a least twice a week. The photo is of

Joseph. His older brother did not come because

he volunteers at the Gardendale library but

does come when he is not volunteering at the library

or the zoo. Joseph also volunteers at the

library. I too have been getting some swimming

in. With the hot weather we have been having

it is very refreshing to just float around after I

do a few laps. I love watching the clouds float by

up in the sky, listening to the birds, watching

dragonflies and other creatures and just being in

the outdoors makes me closer to God.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Here's wishing my husband, son, 3
son-in-laws, grandson and anyone
else who is a father a very Happy
Father's Day. Hope your day is a
loving one.

RAIN-BEAUTIFUL RAIN

We got some badly needed
rain today. My lawn, flowers,
and bushes look so much
better. Thanking God for
sending the rain we needed.
I now will be able to walk
on my lawn and it not crunch
under my feet when I do.
My rain gage measured 2
inches. I will not have to
water my plants tonight.

HAPPY FLAG DAY

Cheers for the sailors that fought on
the wave for it, cheers for the soldiers
that always were brave for it, tears
for the men that went down to the
grave for it. Here comes the flag.
~Arthur Macy~

I hope everyone that has a flag will
display it proudly not only on Flag Day
but all year long.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBRA

Wishing my first born daughter, Debra, a
very happy birthday. Hope you have a
day filled with love and joy. Love you lots
Mom

CROCHET LAP COVERS FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS

I finally finished my lap covers for wheelchair

users. I used up all my thread. I was able to

crochet eight of them. I gave them to my daughter,

Deann, and she will take them to a nursing home.

WELCOME THE MONTH OF JUNE

"June is the month of dreams, I think;

Gardeners watch their roses, pink.

Birds leave the nest and try their wings

And songbirds learn just how to sing.

Brides have planned for the perfect day

When to their love their vows will say.

June is a month of graduations; proud

parents give congratulations.

The birth of baby girls and boys makes

us look at tiny toys.

First communions are realized; decisions

taken to change lives.

Recitals seem to be everywhere; dancing

and music is in the air.

June is the month to sing your joy--The

month of dreams for you to enjoy."
