Community Dinner

Once a month our church serves a free community dinner and Mike and I usually work these dinners.  It is such a wonderful way to get to know the people in the neighborhood.  last night we served 183.. We usually serve around 130...so we were so tickled that our numbers went up. Here are the guys taking a break...they usually catch us girls sitting on the stage taking a break.

Girlfriend Weekend

Returned last evening after a fantastic 4 days with girlfriends.  We drove in 3 cars and went to Walnut Creek ,Ohio.  It is the largest Amis community in the United States.  I will share more pictures as I get them...it was a long, long drive...14 hours each way, but my knees held up!  The Amish are so incredible !

Boys

I thought the picture of the boys had published...I'll try again❤

Rainy Again

Another rainy day...I took the boys to the indoor pool and they had a lot of fun!

Almost Home!

The boys are almost home.  They have had a great, but very wet time.  I can't wait to see them!

Look Look

Visitor's Day

Cindy, Mike, Paul, Tanner and myself left early this morning and went down to Scout camp to visit Kris and Sam.  It poured down rain all day...but, it was an awesome day!!!

Sam

Sam is down atScout Camp for 10 days...this is a little town just outside the Scout Reservation....they take a walk over to this little store and have a peach Nehi float...we go down for visitor's Sunday this coming Sunday...can't wait to see him!

Another Round

Another round of knee shots today...finally the last one in left and just one more in right next week...I have been helping Cindy get her room set up.  I can hardly believe she has to go back Aug 8th...I never had to go back until the last of August.  I will try to post one of the very neat bulletin boards we finished today.q

 

Shots are working

Today is a really good day...got up and no pain in either knee.  Getting the shots does not hurt...but for two days following...my knees feel real full and tight...Just one more in my left knee and two more in my right...this going to be so much better than surgery.

Icing knees

Had shot #4 in left knee and shot# 3 in right knee yesterday....when I got up this morning thet both felt pretty good...icing right now and watching Rachel Ray

Celebrating 47

We started our anniversary day by going to breakfast at The Big Biscuit...it was ok, we will probably go back to regular restaurant next time.

Nice Neighbors

We have new , nice, young neighbors that moved in last October...they have a two year old little boy and a little girl born last October.

For the last two weekends they have built this cool platform for the two year olds new slide.  Today they installed these cool citronella wine bottle candles all around the deck.  mike helped with the building both weekends.

Home grown

The picture of those home grown Arkansas tomatoes absolutely made my mouth water.  My favorite sandwich is a BLT with home grown tomatoes...can't wait until we finally have some in KC...with the hot weather...it may be pretty soon!

Quiet Day

Sitting and icing knee's...3 rd on Left and 2nd on right..I think this process is going to work❤

Tanner's Celebration

Today was Tanner's last day at school camp...it was a fun week of learning to be a 6th Grader for next year.   So we had a celebration today and Cindy and I took the two boys to the show.   they both seemed to have a good time 

7/11

Today is free slurpy day at 7/11... Cindy and Sam took advantage of free!

Hot is finally here!

I am so happy for summer...thou shalt not complain that it is in the 90's!

Worked at the Food Pantry this morning...we sure had a lot of folk... About 1/2 homeless and they were delighted to get out of the heat for just a little break!  The pantry has a small window unit and it is a small space, but it gives them a little break.

Tanner has been here this afternoon...he has cleaned some of my Fisher Price old toys...hoping that others sell...then we can put in some more to sell😊

This is picture of Tanner cooling off with ice cream and a whole bunch of chocolate sauce!Whoops won't download...later!

Antiques

Cindy and I almost literally took the plunge today...we opened our first Antique booth today.  We have a lighted cabinet almost at the entrance. It has 6 glass shelves..and it is under lock and key.  We started with just a few of my vintage Fisher Price toy collection...I am so excited and look forward to this being a success story.
