Did ya miss me?

We have had a lot on our plates lately, for sure.

Life has been busy with grandbabies, work, household projects, and my health issues, but all is well.

We have been enjoying the monsoon season here in Flagstaff, lots of days with summer rains, nice for our zucchini and tomato plants, and the yard and flower beds.

We attended free summer concerts in a local park a few evenings,there are some talented folks up here in the high country.

Molly is well, still thinks she owns the sidewalk out front, actually the street too, and lets us know when there is a person walking, or actually has the nerve to walk their dog on the sidewalk. She is a kick. It will be interesting to see the interaction between her and Gilmore, and the Hulme pack of dogs!

My mom is failing, she isn't the same person, I miss my mama. She knows me and Stan, and seems happy in her world. The director creates a memory box for each resident, I filled out a questionaire, and submitted her high school graduation picture, it is a beautiful photo. Scrapbook materials were used to signify special interests in her life, such as the horse shows my older brothers participated in for years, and her love of of going on cruises. Her favorite holiday was Christmas, she placed a stocking and Noel in the box. Very clever idea.
I take Connor to her assisted living facility on Wednesdays, and that does bring her joy, as well as joy to the female residents, by the way, there is only one male. That fact is amazing in it self, and just shows that the women out live the male population.

We had a yard sale today, it is amazing how things accumalate, it doesn't help that we both are "savers"! The garage seems much larger now.

We are looking forward to our trip back East and spending time with the Ohio gang.
