Thirsty Thursday

It's hot outside, I've mowed all the yard, and the edges of the road - sooo nasty!! So I've downed several glasses of sweet tea!!! YUM! The summer is passing fast, BUT I am definitely enjoying my off time!!! Next week, Royce & I will go to Branson to be with his family while KJ is at church camp at Panfork! Kristen will try to come in from Amarillo Sunday for Father's Day after a photography wedding on Sat. night in Amarillo. Keri & Lance, exspecting in Jan. !!!! are doing well in Waco, tho the heat is really an adjustment for Lance, who's working outside on construction and lawns as a volunteer coordinator for Waco's "habitat for humanities". Keri needs prayer on working 12 hr. night shifts. Fortunately, no morning sickness! We are all thoroughly excited about the baby!

Wordless Wednesday, no can't do it, ha ha

I can't wordless Wednesday, cause I haven't blogged in weeks!!! Busy, busy! The Friday school was out, May 29th, a high school buddy, Jenny & I headed for Breckingridge to Jackie's house to meet up with fourth gf, Cindy, & we had a great 2 days of reminescing, eating, quilt shop shopping, antique store looking in Albany, eating, reminescing, hiking, playing games, eating!!! It was great! Then I left Sunday morning to head towards Waco, & stopped in Dublin to see my niece, Daresa, & she & Matt's home. Matt was off roping in Stephenville - he turns 30 this month & Daresa's throwing him a wing-ding party!
Arrived Waco at 2pm & entered a labyrinth apartment of boxes, hammers, nails, hammers, tape measures, and STUFF, eight people, 1 dog, and still got fed a late lunch! By night fall, all but 6 or 8 small boxes of stuff were repositioned into a wonderland of beauty & we went to Jason's Deli for supper. Keri & Lance are moved into their new apt. in Waco. Keri started orientation at Providence Hospital on Monday & Lance is a coordinator for volunteers to an organization in Waco similar to "Habitat for Humanity". He's doing construction & lawn care. PJ, the dog, is settling nicely into his new life. I get to dogsit when Keri & Lance, his mom and sister go on their mission trip 2 weeks to Africa in July. I left Waco Wed. morning & headed to Decatur to see my oldest brother & took him to eat with family. I arrived home in Wheeler Wed. night. I started preparing for VBS which is going great this week! I took KJ & 3 other players to WT's position basketball camp & brought Kristen home with me & she & I painted bathrooms & the treehouse. She will have her 10 year high school reunion here at our house this weekend & Janet & I are taking Stacie & KJ to OU bball camp this weekend. Also, I'm quilting Kristen's t-shirt quilt. It's coming along nicely - just giving me a few stretching problems where I'm tearing out a few seams!! I've got to get ready for VBS, so ta ta. I'll tack on some pics later. Tell me what you're busy doing this summer. I'm doing gardening also.
