We had a rain yesterday, sure glad, Here in the last of June. We went to Sam's yesterday even though I did not feel like it. At least we got our air going. I cannot stand the heat these days. We ate out, should not have. hurting ever since.
Today we are finish packing the trailer. Still got a few things to buy here in town. We will be leaving the first thing in the morning.
Last night I made apple butter to take with us. My sister from california come up with the idea of using applesaucse to make it . It worked great. I also have enough to share a jar with each of my kids. I always like homemade jelly or something like that, when we go camping. I forgot how long it took so I did not go to bed until after 11. I am up early and trying to get things done.
I am cooking taco meat for taco's or taco salad. It is easier to cook at home. I also make cookies, zuchini bread already made. Not planning on cooking a whole lot. Just grilling. We cook outside, not in trailer. The trailer,being such close quarters, holds the odors.
We will be driving back Saturday morning to go with Nancy and Larry to the Purple Hull Pea festival. It sounds like fun. They actually have a purple hull pea cook-off. They are going to have rotary tiller races, can you imagine. That will be a site to see I'm sure. Really looking forward to it.
We will be driving back to Hot Springs saturday night.
At rest for a few days.
GOD BLESS YOU

SUMMER FUN
We are getting ready for camping, that is what we do in the summer. I could live in my camper, it is easier to keep clean and not nearly so much to do. I cannot keep things done these days. I never feel good and have to keep going.
I have spent 2 days in the bed and feel like crap today. I need a check-up but hate to go in to the Dr. I'm sure my thyroid is out of kilter again.
I have had another bladder infection and my colon is acting up again. I have diverticulum and they act up a lot.
We plan on going camping Wed. or Thur. I hate to miss church so it will probably be thursday morning. Jeanette and C.W. will be there friday. We camped together last year, Roy and Faye came up, Harold and Mae and we had a cook-out. We really have a good time camping. The water is nice at Charlton too.
So if is Hot who cares, just go get in the freezing water for a little while and be cool the rest of the day.
Last week was 4-H here in sheridan and the kids went every day to crafts, water fights and classed. It was from 9 to 4, They had an enjoyable time. They also had competition day, it was Monday and Kiefer won 5th place in casting. It was about 25 in the competition. They wanted Maranda to model but she got burned her first modeling, so she would not do it. They gave real nice trophies. There was probably 200 4-H kids there.
Pam took the girls to the pool,as she does nearly every day. I am so glad she is better and back to her self. She has still got lots of problems, but is handling them better.
Larry is doing great, a little too great I think,
It must be real nice to have a pool, if I had one I would probably never get anything done except playing in the water.
But I don't and probably never will. There is a lot of up-keep on one, but worth it in the summer.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU

VACATION with my sister and Coys brother
We had a wonderful time and some relaxing time, just sitting on the front porch and" just a swanging". Well they have moved on to other family members and our house is empty and lonely. Hated to see them go but I know when on vacation there is so many to see and so much you want to get done. It is not possible to do that , you will always think of something you did not do or some place you did not go.
We had just passing moments of sisterhood , so many miles between us. We need to be able to go to the park, walk around or just sit and talk, just enjoy one another. Here we are in our old age,all sick and can't even help ourselves let alone each other. We did that when we was in California in november. We had a wonderful day, sitting by the waterfall in the sculpture park. Had a wonderful lunch and just enjoyed each others company.
I have to tell you about our trip to the Diamond mine, to dig for diamonds. It was fun, something I had always wanted to do but just never did. We played in the mud, literally. Here we are nearly in our 70's and David in his 70's and here we are going to play in mud. It was fun and an enjoyable day. So glad we did that. We had to dig up clots of clay mud and take them to a hugh vat of water and wash it through two sieves. Mash the mud. The water was so muddy itself, I don't know how we washed anything.
More later.
GOD BLESS

FAMILY REUNION
Sorry I have not posted, have been so busy. The reunion was great,so many showed up. I was real pleased at the turn out. It was so nice to see everyone and visit with the ones I have not seen for a while. Bobby, Billy and Betty I have not seen for a while. We use to play in the mill camp at Fordyce. We lived in the middle of the shotgun housing row and they lived at the end by the main road. We had lots of good times together. They are Uncle Wilburn children. They moved to Sheridan after we was all grown and I have not seen them much since Uncle Wilburn and Aunt Willie Jo have been gone. We had a mixture of friends, relatives on all sides represented. It was great. We had rlatives from the Mclemore's, The Brown side, The Tubservilles which is what our Mother was before she married Daddy. We invited about 200 there, but only half showed up. I am making a list of all invited and my sister Sue has a list started of the ones that showed up. We will get that compiled one of these days and get those books made for everyone. We are so glad we did this. We have got so many thank you from everyone.
It was also good to visit with my brother Leonards, children (Wayne his wife Sandra and Wayne's daughter Melissa and baby. Loyd and his wife , Rochell and her daughter Madison, I had not seen her since she was a baby. We do not get to see them very ofter. Maybe we can visit and have get-to-gethers more often. Mike and Lisa was great to visit with. Mike is my oldest brother's boy(Edward). Mike even made a special trip back by our house, before he let for Texas to tell us how much he enjolyed visiting with us. It was a GREAT, GOOD AND FANTASTIC TIME.
Frances, Edward's daughter came over and visited with us one afternoon , I think it was after midnight before she left, which was great. Jeanette came over a couple of days to visit. We made applebutter one day, that was fun and bringing back and making memories for us. We always got in the kitchen and cannedd with our mother.We use to peal peaches until our fingers was sore. We always brought a wash tub and washed the peaches and then begin to peal. It was not a lot of fun then, but if only we could do that again. It was a lot of work. My mother was a worker and a wonderful caring person, always made sure we had wonderful meals and a clean place to sleep. Her house was always clean, unlike her sisters, which never kept house. Mother saved everyting. Sorry my sister Rosie could not be here, or any of her family, everyone ask about her. The boys sing and had a singing engagement. They knew about this well in advance and did not have to set that but they did and we missed them. It was so good to sing with my sisters and brother. Rosie and Jeanette was always the singers in the family. I use to sing a little.
