Hot and Hotter

We have been working...usually with the boys ...painting our 2,000 square feet of deck .  We are about 3/4 of the way done and we have been preparing to paint, then painting each morning.  We have to usually stop around noon...then the really hot sun comes around back.

Here are a couple more taken this evening....the bus was parked right outside the theatre.

The Evening Was Awesome!

Having the opportunity to go and hear Hillary this evening was even more exciting than I had anticipated.  She spoke from 5:30 until 7:10.  We had wonderful seats and could see her very well..we were in row 22.  If she does announce she is running...I will work my heart out for her.  She is beyond a capable leader and just unbelievable intelligent.

Happy Father's Day!!

Sure do miss Dad so much....I loved him with all my heart.  He was such an accomplished, gentle soul.  He worked so hard to provide for Mom and I.  He certainly reached out to all of Mom's family and shared his love with them and helped whenever possible.  This picture is one of my favorites that was taken at a Father/Daughter picnic my senior year at Jewell.

Here Comes Hillary!!!

Cindy and I are going to see Hillary on June 22nd...

I can't wait!!  We will each get an autographed book with our ticket👍

Returned From St. Louis

We quickly headed to St. Louis to attend the funeral of our dear Mary's Mom Bev.  Mary is married to Mije's brother Paul and Bev lived with them all of Paul and Mary's married life, except the last five years she has been in a nursing home.  I was a time to also catch up with some cherished family and friends.

Way To Go Sam!

Happy Memorial Day

We decided to celebrate today and then eat left overs tomorrow.  After church...Cindy, Kris and Sam came over and Kris cooked ribs out on our grill.  Everything sure tasted great!

Oh Happy Day

Last Tuesday we kidnapped my dear friend and Linda and I took her to see the beautiful Irises in bloom.  Then yesterday Judy had her double mastectomy and she has NO CANCER in her lymph nodes. Praise God!

AUMC Day of Service

Today was our Church's Day of Service.  We had six teams out in the Community...each consisting of at least 10 members.  Mike and the grand boys worked at the church using a power washer to clean all our folding chairs...something much needed.  I headed up a group of women that went to Safe Haven...a Women's Shelter in the Northland.  We worked for two hours and did some much needed deep cleaning.  What a wonderful way to start the celebration of being 100 years old!

Still Moving Along

I know it has been awhile since you all have heard from me...but as Helen said...too many friends Winnie! (I love having so many close friends)  I really am grieving over the death of a dear, dear friend last Thursday . Although she had been in the hospital since the first part if April...her little body could not fight any more. Her funeral was Monday evening and then I had to do a Memorial service for her yesterday...all her family is from out of town...so we have been doing a lot of errand running and meals.

I look forward to getting back to sleeping well...Love you all!

Great Day

Mike and I had a great day taking our dear 92 year old friend to church Sunday.  I was her first outing since Christmas...she had a terrible fall and has been in the hospital and nursing homes.  It is such a blessing that she is home with wonderful help.  Love you Anna Mae❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yeah!!!

I am finally convinced that SPRING has finally arrived.  Our beautiful tree survived the harsh winter!

 

Another Round Complete

Went today and had my fourth set of shots...just one more to go next week. Tonight my knees hurt and I am on Aleve and icing!

Attended Stations of the Cross

Tonight I attended The Stations of the Cross with two very dear friends.  It was a very meaningful pilgrimage of the story of Jesus on this Holy Maundy Thursday.  I am so happy I attended this walk...I sure needed the story of Jesus tonight. We went the Methodist Church where I use to be on staff.

Happy April 15th!!

Now this made me giggle this late evening...just before heading to bed....nighty nite😘

Sad, Sad, Day in KC

Such a stupid act of cowardness...the killing of three innocent people by a stupid radical.  member of the KKK from Aurora Missouri.  So many tapes from his past life spouting how he hates Jews..,so he goes on a senseless rampage, killing a 14 year old boy, his Grandfater a Doctor. Then goes over to a nursing home and kills an innocent woman going into visit her mother...all the time screaming antisemetic hate.  The Grandfather and grandson were both Methodist and the woman was Catholic....I hope they just put the idiot in General Population!!!

Here is the photo

This is Mike in the church kitchen with our friend Linda as a swine cook...I worked with another friend and cooked the scrambled eggs.

So Tired!!!

It is 1:30 and we just got in from our Brunch.  The rain held off...but for some reason our crowd was small...will be anxious to see what we cleared.

This is a picture of Mike and his new cooking partner this year...we all had a great time.

Oh well..the picture is on my phone...get it later😬
