GETTING BETTER--Our weekend saw us getting pretty soaked from time to time but during the afternoon hours, we had some pretty decent dry spells, so it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The same goes for the work week as we had off and on showers as it began, but we also had some dry spells, so it's our usual Spring time weather, in which we find the shower/sun combo making our lawns grow like crazy so the person in charge of mowing your lawn is definitely keeping busy. By the time you read this, we're supposed to be a little...

GORGEOUS--If you've been wanting to do yardwork and garden work and you've been stopped by the pouring rains we had last week, you certainly have had no excuses this week, as it's been beautiful out there. A little light breeze was blowing on Monday morning and along with that wonderful sunshine, I thought the temperatures were just right. With tornadoes in the midwest, snowstorms in Colorado and fires raging in the drought-stricken state of Texas, I almost feel guilty for enjoying this wonderful weather that we are currently experiencing....
It will be a short column this week as I am spending many hours in the hospital room of my husband. We had a pretty serious set back on Mother’s Day and I had to take him to emergency. He is suffering from pneumonia, blood clots in his lung and erratic heart beat. Hopefully this will be over and done with by the time the paper comes out. This weekend is an especially busy one here in our area, with lots going on. Saturday, you are invited to the annual Plant/Bake sale and Soup Luncheon fundraiser for the Grays River Valley Center at Johnson P...

OFF AND ON--As this work week begins, it's been an off and on day for rain and sunshine, as it depends on where you were and at what time of the day you were there as to whether or not you were steaming in your car or pulling the hood up on your coat to keep from getting wet. This past weekend saw torrential downpours which made travelling quite dangerous and made staying home a real big relief. We may be drying out a bit they say and I'm sure we'd all enjoy that as this rain/sunshine mix has made the grass grow so fast that it's hard to keep...

After the nice few days, the weekend turned into another wet one. Our son, Carl and his girlfriend Dion were here for the weekend from Seattle as well as other son, Shane. They had hoped to get some dry hiking in but that didn’t pan out, so they took the dogs for a damp one. It’s always so good to have kids home, and especially when they can do a few things around the place. Mom even got an oil change on the car. Thanks boys. And it was wonderful to see Dion again, such a delightful young lady. Good weekend, even if it did rain. News from Nas...
