OK,  I keep falling behind in updates.  Life just goes too quickly.  Or the cocktails come too quickly!   We have kept busy.    Memorial day weekend we extended from Thursday afternoon to Tuesday.  We visited Hayward with Dick and Carol, and had a wonderful time.   Dick and I had quality time in the boat, and we brought fish home.    We took Marie through towns she never knew existed, and I think she had a good time.   In the Hayward area the girls got some quality shopping time in.  And Marie was not sure how Dick and Carol ever found those restaurants back in the woods!   So it was a successful weekend!  Tom and Barb we missed you.  Glad to hear Sandi and Max will be settling in for awhile.  Hopefully that helps everyone’s health.

And back home we have had a start of summer.  Warm sunny weather the way I like it.  Charles I would love to come and plant for you,  but after that short season we would need to head to Florida.    Summer is just starting here and some of our flowers are blooming, a pleasant sight after the long winter.    The veggies are starting to grow and blooms on the tomato plants.  Also the mosquito’s are blooming,  but they are going after the New Mexico blood.

We were in Milwaukee this weekend.  Had a wonderful meal at Pitch’s with some of my cousin’s.   That was a great night, and spent some time the next day with Mom.   Then back home for some catching up on yard work,  which I made good progress on.  and have the runabout in the water, and we got a nice boat ride in on Sunday.

And I was teaching the girls how to fish,  see them on the dock?  Next I will get them to dig worms and clean the fish.     We did have a fish fry Monday night,  mostly thanks to Dick sharing what we caught in Hayward.  They were very good if I say so myself.

Back to work for the week, Mondays are not my favorite. And Tuesday was not better!   But it’s just work, I’ll get through it.  Bad news in one of our plants is closing, one I spend most of my time in.  And a plant in Iowa I spend some time dealing with.  Too many good people losing their jobs.  But as one friend told me,  life will go on.  So we pray for the best for them,  often good things happen with a new start.  This week a stock club meeting coming up, and an executive board meeting for the home brew club.  Those will be highlights.

So get out and enjoy life.  It is much too short so we need to make some time to enjoy.
