Glad to hear from both of you, and that everyone is OK. So much terrible damage from the storms with high winds. Maybe more will plant trees now, to help break the winds. Old timers know what I mean. I used a lot of the stimulus money for flower bulbs from three new companies, and nothing came up! So sad. I guess it had a lot of hot air from politicians in them. (HA!) Still guarding the places we planted them, maybe next year they will come up. Perennial beds are finally filling up with beautiful blooms, but dh loves his zinnias the best. I'll save their seeds and plant more next year. Not much garden this year, age is stopping a lot of that extra work and effort. Even in the sewing room. I am still breathing, so there is still hope...its 50/50, that I sew or don't sew. Like to finish what I have started which is a lot of UFOs.

I am sorry I haven't been here in while. I have had a tragedy in my family again. I have lost a young cousin in a hunting accident. The funeral is gonna be in Midland on Fri. We are going to Midland Thurs & Fri as we also want to go to the visitation.

I have often heard in my youth, only the good die young, Dublb. It is sad to the survivors and the family, my prayers are with all of you. My dh lost a brother who served in Vietnam and suffered from Agent Orange. DH cousin has stage 4 cancer, and was sent home from Iowa City University Hospital to die. My Cousin Mary's husband is undergoing four months of Chemo now. We have lost all our dear senors who looked after us now, lucky a son of Patty's came to our rescue yesterday. A flat tire and no spare left us sitting in Omaha. (Four miles away from Home) one gentleman in a John Deere runabout pumped up the tire and we headed home in a rush and called Nick again to update him. He came to our house, helped take off the tire, and take Jerry and the tire to the shop and got it fixed, brought him back home. We set down to a quick homestead lunch to thank him. Nice to have good neighbors.

Bev, I hope you have a safe trip and there is peace at the funeral for you and your family.
I got a message recently from a cousin. He had complications from a surgery, and got a stroke. He's in rehab now. It made me feel old.

I am gonna be a busy bee when I get back. I picked up 2 sergers to repair on Fri when I was on my way home from Austin. Then I picked up 5 sewing machines to repair from the LQS yesterday.

Bev, the LYS sure keeps you hopping! Good repair is hard to find.
Givio, so sorry about your cousin. Hope rehab gets him back to normal. Even young people can stroke. The 10yo grandson of a man I teach Silver Sneakers to had a stroke. He was hospitalized for a while but seems to be ok now.

I am back from Midland. The funeral is over. It was good to be w/my family. I'm also happy to say that the dry air in Midland helped to clear up my lungs. My asthma is so much better! I've been coughing for over a month!!!
