Happy Anniversary!

Sat A.M. - Summer is finally here.  Thurs. Barb had a D&C at the Dr. office and they must have a new method as it didn't take long & she walked home.  It was just at the (repeating myself) Dr's office.  He said she'd feel a prick & then cramping.  They were also checking to see if there is cancer.  She sees him again June 5th.

Fri. Barb (she didn't work Thurs or Fri) & I went to Mrs. Grimm's shop where she sells wreaths, floral designs, etc.  Very interesting place & can she talk.  Their son lives in the Philly area & has 2 children - boy & girl.  Then we went to the Mall & I saw Mrs. Sandblade & I asked about Mary.  Her oldest son graduates from Grove City with a teaching degree in Math.  The daughter is a Jr. in nursing at Pitt & the youngest son graduates from high school.

Fri. Barb washed the porch, cleaned & bro't down the porch furniture.  Washed & put up screens.  T his A.M. she trimmed the edges around the lawn.

The hanging baskets are fushea (however you spell it) in a dark pink.  Very pretty.

Dad & I sat on the porch awhile last nite.

This is the first nice Sat & there are loads of garage sales including one next door (new neighbors) by the Welcome club.

Keep forgetting to tell you we got rid of our piano.  It was just a dust collector & no one used it.  Kim's friend Nancy wanted a piano.  She had a man check it out.  He said it was in good condition & he could fix it to be a good piano.  So he came & got it Thurs nite & will fix it up, tuning etc. & she'll have a good piano.  She plays & some of her girls (4) take lessons.

Couldn't find another book by Richard North Patterson.  I really enjoyed reading the one I had.  Will keep looking.

The flowering crab trees are beautiful.  Leaves on oak, maple, etc. are about now & will be as this weather keeps up for awhile.  More humidity.

Guess this is all.
