HAPPY JUNE

 Just checking in to say we are still here.  We think our grandkids shared two viruses, a tummy virus and a high fever virus and we suffered through both at the same time. Although they were down only 1-2 days, it really took a week for us to get back to what we call normal.  And we are still tired. 

My scarewoman Pearlie Mae looks at the last of my iris. 

We had a quiet Memorial Day weekend with me in bed for two days before grampa went down. No picnics for us.  We were still putting one on the school bus this week, but everyone made other arrangements instead of dinners at the home place. 

No trips to the amusement park. No food pics or recipes. 

On Thursday I found substitutes for my charity day and we were able to attend our next to the last Kindergarten Graduation.  This was quite the event with the ceremony held on the football field while families cheered from the grandstands. 

I am hoping this is a camera angle and that my legs have not shrunk to half the size of my arms. 

I have been complaining and complaining about the heartbreaking state of affairs in this country. I saw this wonderful pin by Mary Engelbreit and took it to heart. 

I submitted my resume for consideration to be appointed to a vacated seat in our city government. The committee chose two candidates to interview and will make a decision this week.  I realize it is a small step and a position without much impact in the future of our country.  But they say charity starts at home and I think we need an emphasis on charity (as well as compassion) in this country right now.  I will keep you posted. 

Meanwhile, back in the saddle tomorrow as my middle son, my youngest daughter and I are taking seven children between the ages of 5 and 12 to the amusement park! Fun times!
