IT IS BLOG TIME AGAIN 7-18-90

I DECIEDED BEFORE I TOTALLY FORGET I NEED TO CATCH UP ON MY JUNE DAYS. JANA AND ROB CAME TO SPEND FOUR DAYS WITH ME ON MONDAY THE FIRST. IT IS ALWAYS A DELIGHT TO HAVE THEM HERE AND REAQUAINT WITH PARKER AND GET TO KNOW MACIE A BIT. THEY WERE BOTH SUCH GOOD CHILDREN AND I LEARNED PARKER LIKES CARS AND TRUCKS.
WE WENT UP TO REXBURG TO SEE ANDRA AND GO TO LUNCH AT BIG JUDDS ON WEDS.. EVEN THE REGULAR SIZE BURGER WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME. BUT OH SO GOOD!!! ON TUESDAY WE WENT DOWN BY THE RIVER AND PARKER FED THE DUCKS AND GEESE. HOW POSSESIVE THE GEESE WOULD BE ABOUT THE BREAD CRUMBS FOR THEIR OWN RUNNING THE DUCKS AWAY. WE SAW LOTS OF BABY DUCKS AND GEESE. HAD LUNCH AT HAPPY'S CHINESE AND HOME FOR NAPS. I DIDN'T GO BOWLING AS I WAS TIRED BY THEN SO STAYED HOME TO REST. OH OF COURSE THEY STOPPED BY REEDS DAIRY FOR HUCKLE BERRIE ICE CREAM TO TEMPT ME WITH. OH YUMMY GOOD.
WEDENSDAY THEY LEFT FOR HOME BUT FIRST WE ALL WENT TO SMITTIE'S FOR BREAKFAST. LANIE MET US THERE SO IT WAS A GOOD TIME ON GRANDPA'S BIRTHDAY DAY THE FOURTH. WE CAME HOME AND ALL TO SOON I WAS ALONE AGAIN AND MISSED THE LITTLE NOISE AND LAUGHTER. AS ALWAYS I WAS HAPPY THEY ARRIVED HOME SAFELY.
ON FRI 5TH I WENT TO SAM'S CLUB TO PAY MY DUES AND LOOK FOR AVACADOS. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT. DID THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FIRES LAST YEAR BURN DOWN ALL THE GOOD TREES??
ON THE TENTH MELBA JENSEN AND JEANETTE BURNSIDE AND I WENT TO LUNCH MY TURN TO CHOOSE PLACE AND WHAT TO DO AFTER. WE WENT TO IGGY'S AND THEN TO THE MUSEUM OF EASTERN IDAHO TO SEE THE DINASAURS. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING.

J'LENE WANTED A FAMILY REUNION ON JUNE 13TH WHILE TERESA WAS HERE.. I TRIED TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE IT WAS TO HAPPEN BUT DIDN'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB. DARLEEN DID SO WANT TO BE THERE AND HER VISITING TEACHER WITH 3 CHILDREN FOUR AND UNDER BROUGHT HER UP ON FRIDAY. IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE HER AGAIN AND SHE WAS SO GOOD TO HAVE VISIT SO SHORT A TIME. THE REUNION WAS IN REXBURG ON SAT. 13TH I COUNTED AT LEST 79 PEOPLE AND I THINK THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OTHERS AS SOME CAME AND LEFT BEFORE DINNER. WE ALL ENJOYED THE TIME TOGETHER AND WAS GOOD TO SEE TERESA AND HER GIRLS AND GRANDS. DID I MENTION IT RAINED???
DARLEEN LEFT FROM HERE AFTER WE GOT BACK AND HER SWEET VISITING TEACHER PICKED HER UP GOT HER HOME SAFE AND AGAIN MY HOUSE WAS EMPTY.

ON SUNDAY WHEN I CAME HOME FROM CHURCH [IDIDN'T NOTICE IT WHEN I LEFT] THERE WAS EGGS ALL OVER BOTH GARAGE DOORS AND OF COURSE THERE IS THE PARTS THAT END UP ON THE DRIVEWAY. I SWEPT WHAT I COULD THEN MONDAY A.M. I GOT UP EARLY WENT OUT WITH WARM SOAPY WATER AND A BRUSH TO DO THE HARD PART THAT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF. WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE A FEW YEARS AGO IN A FEW MINUTES.
SAW THE DENTIST GOT A CLEAN BILL ON MY TEETH THIS TIME EXCEPT FOR ONE HE'LL WATCH EVERY SIX MONTH THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM.
THE 18TH WAS OUR OVER 60'S LUNCHEON AT MARGARETS HOME THIS TIME WE HAD QUITE A FEW THERE. AS USUAL THE POT LUCK WAS GOOD FOOD. THE COMPANY WAS EXCELLENT AND EVERY ONE LEFT HAPPY.
ON THE 23RD RYAN AND KARA CAME AND MOWED AND RYAN DID SOME YARD THINGS I COULDN'T DO. KARA CLEANED THE BIG STEP IN THE GARAGE AND PAINTED IT FOR ME. I DON'T STEP OUT THERE WITH OUT FEELING SO MUCH GRATITUDE TO HER FOR THE CLEAN LOOK IT GIVES. THEN SHE STARTED PAINTING THE SHED. ON THURSDAY THEY CAME BACK AND RYAN HAULED SOME STUFF AWAY THAT WAS CLUTTERING THE GARAGE AND DID SEVERAL OTHER ODD JOBS WHILE KARA FINISHED PAINTING THE SHED. THEN THEY FIXED THE SHED DOOR THAT WAS TRYING TO FALL DOWN WHEN OPENED. HOW GRATEFULL TO THEM FOR THEIR GOOD HELP. OH HOW I MISS THEM!!!
ON FRIDAY ANDRA CAME DOWN AND STAYED OVER NIGHT WAS SO GOOD TO HAVE HER COME DOWN. SHE DELAYED HER TRIP FOR A TIME DUE TO THE RAIN AND HAIL AND WARNING TO STAY OFF THE ROADS TILL IT PASSED BY. DID I EVER SAY WE HAD RAIN ALMOST EVERY DAY IN JUNE.
JENNETE CALLED AND WE WENT TO WISH MELBA A HAPPY EARLY B/D. SHE WAS PLANNING TO GO WITH JOLENE AND MARSHA FOR HER B/D ON FRIDAY. WE SAW JOLENE A MINUTE AND HAD A VERY DELIGHTFUL VISIT WITH MELBA ON HER NEW DECK.
SAW THE EYE DR. AND MY GLAUCOMA SEEMS TO BE HOLDING IT'S OWN NO FURTHER DETERIATION. THE EYE DROPS ARE WORKING AS OF THE 30TH.

I'LL BE DOING JULY ONE DAY SOON AS THE SUMMER IS FAST PASSING US BY.
