Happy Tuesday

 

Really haven't much news so will put a couple of pictures of Dad's flowers on today.  I LOVE this picture with the apple tree in the foreground.  Dad says that with the hard freeze we received over the weekend, he thinks a lot of his mums were touched.  His potted plants were in the garage so they were fine.  He said this morning he's just going to put the plants out and when they freeze, they freeze.  He's tired of putting them in and out and besides, I have a "honey-do" list for him.

 This last weekend we went to Milaca to see Aunt Jennie.  Dad said he was really glad we went - she's not looking as spry as she has in the past.  She looked very tired and weaker than we've seen her in the past.  Brought her some almond patties, which she loved.  DeAnn, I bought her some peppermints at the East Grocery in Lynden and sent them to her - she was thrilled with them.  She said they "hit the spot".  It's difficult finding something to hit the spot for a 90 year old.

We stayed overnight in Milaca and woke up to this white stuff on the car.  It was VERY cold when we stepped out of the motel door.  I'm not ready for this cold and especially not for the white stuff.  Makes Arizona very appealing.  The last couple of days have been a little better - just heard on the radio that we may get some rain today - GOOD!!!

Well, that's it.  Not much but better than nothing.  DeAnn, I loved Sam's story.  Amy's right - it sounds just like Sam. 

Have a super week - I plan to work on some of my fun projects this week.  Figure I'll clean in the morning and do fun things in the afternoon.  Last night we had pizza with Eric and the rest (at least some) of the family.  Had a very nice time.  Mark's sister and brother and parts of their families were there also.

Love to you all,
Gramma and MOM

PS:  I have a book here on Alaska folklore - does it belong to either of you?
