I've missed you (and everybody else) so much!! I got so far behind on the

postings and I

wanted to read them all before I posted. I can't help it, it's my compulsive

nature. I'm

down to only 2100 more to go!!

A quick summary of the last month or so- Memorial Day weekend we took a long

weekend and took our motor home (mh) up to Birch Way. That is near the

US/Canada

border. The weather was fair but we were able to get some beach time.

As you know, some of us up here in the NW met in June. I haven't read any of

the postings

about that but it was a great experience for me and my husband. We laughed, we

cried

and then we laughed some more. Everybody took pix, except me I forgot my

camera. duh

I am so glad that I got to meet Steve and Vicki before she became so ill.

The next day I went to my daughter's for a week. It was good to spend the time

with them

but they are so busy! Just listening to them made me tired. Basketball, soccer,

golf, tennis

swimming lessons and camp. But I loved the time with the grandsons (pix of the

boys in

my album).

The weekend I returned from my daughter's I was starting to get that " uh-oh "

feeling and

cough. Monday I just happened to have a Dr.'s appointment so we caught that

little

infection before it went to far. Two weeks of levaquin and increased dose of

prednisone

seems to have done the job.

The first week of July we took the mh to Deception Pass for 6 days. The

grandsons came

to visit for the day, twice. We walked on the beach, read and relaxed.

Last weekend we went to Sequim, the sunbelt of western WA. Weather was

gorgeous, we

ate some great seafood, dungeoness crab my fav, sat on the beach watched the sun

set

with friends while the husbands made s'mores over the fire.

This week, I've done nothing and plan on doing nothing until Friday night. I'm

tired, tired,

tired. I'm sob. This summer is the first year I don't have my container

gardens and

hanging baskets. The distance i could walk on the beach was so short. grrrrr

I'm going back to read more posts. Welcome to all the newbies and I have missed

all of

you.

Love,
