Hi – well it has been pretty busy this last couple of weeks up here on the funny farm.
We had a wedding in the Jepsen family - their oldest boy Chris who graduated with my niece Erica Mehaffey and my daughter Alexandra May in 2008, got married! Ah so young! thinking that I waited until i was in my mid 30's and still had time to have 4 kids…but everything is happening faster these days, a sign that one is getting older hum. perhaps…dunno…mobbed…
Also in the Jepsen family (my former neighbors), their youngest girl Lizzie injured her elbow and tore ligaments, mebbe surgery, or not, we shall see. For now she is walking around with a soft cast.
Since last writing we had John Basalyga back to preach again and Bro John Jeffreys came through too. Oh, and Bro Gary Jarvis was here. John Basalyga was actually here for most of that week while making forays to other places to preach. Bro Gary Jarvis stayed for a couple of days, with his wife, and then preached before moving along. I can’t remember, at this point, what any of them said. I was REALLY interested as you can c! oh well...
We had rain solid for ten days before the wedding, and now we’ve had rain ever since, but on the rehearsal day it cleared up. On the wedding day, it was positively hot; nigh unto 85*. It was perfect.
We’ve had garden projects several times when the weather permitted to weed the garden. Everything is growing well, but, soon, it might all drown. Rob and self went out to weed a couple of mornings since that is what my daughter May assigned us to (she's in command!)…and we got rained out. Rob kept saying :" Mom it's wet!"…haha….err…yeah Rob!
And its the sickies for the funny farm... Odd random bug with fever and some cough stuff.
Jim Eastwood and his wife brought us some black cod. We made a cod meal for supper tonight. It was good eating.
Lauren and Dwayne Mithcell (Squires) and kiddos arrived the day before the wedding. Dwayne has been helping Steve put some siding on Garth’s house. They are going to run out of lumber soon, though, I heard.
Buongiornes were gone prior to the wedding. They went to Fairbanks for some outing event having to do with special needs kids. They had a good time, but were happy to be home. Flo went too and she had a good time although she will not admit it! We carted her around Pioneer Park and the MuskOx farm and whatnot…UAF museum, in a wheelchair…oh and in Chena Hot Springs! So now we can say that the Buongiornes have been to the Chena Hot Springs…so we don't have to go AGAIN! expensive and overrated, but hey, that's my opinion.
Here is a link to the pictures from the Cultural Event in Fairbanks.
Bill Casey has been home (since his heart attach episode and is doing well. Within a day, he was back in the garden organizing things and rotor tilling! The Dr said to take it easy and do only things he was comfortable with. Bill felt that was comfortable. He’s trying to watch his salt and fatty intake in order to correct his cholesterol number. Adjusting to his various new medicines has been difficult for Bill, but he’s figuring it out. And Kathy is helping him find his meals.
Peter and Stacey arrived tonight. Sam and Marki came last night, and Marki’s mom and little brother came too. Sarah Grado and Simon were out on the weekend, but they’ve gone home.
Late tonight, Joey, Jo, and Kevin took Marilyn in to see the Dr. I’m not sure what exactly the problem is. I know she has been having some kidney stone pain. Tonight her pulse seemed to be very weak. Danita came over to check. It was decided to take Marilyn in. That’s about all I know about that right now.
I better get my beauty sleep. Happy 4th of July!!!!!
