Sis Marylin Hagley enjoys her sunny porch with her lovely flowers around her...
We’ve had a tough weekend with the hay. Just as the guys were preparing to pick up bales on Saturday night, it sprinkled. We were able to put up 96 bales on Sunday, but yesterday after putting up a few loads, it sprinkled again. All three of those days, we were having approximately 82° weather. This morning, it is grey and 56° at present. I know the Lord knows, but it would sure be nice if we could finish up this haying without too much ado. Since a lot of the young girls have learned how to rake using the horses this year, I need to get out there to take new pictures.
Even though it heavily sprinkled last night at six pm (it soon stopped), we went out to pick our first picking of peas last night. We didn’t get a lot, but unless we have a frost, we have a couple more good pickings ahead of us.
Judy wrote this am to say that Hannah has been taken off the medicine that was keeping her from not sleeping and could be harmful to the baby. She is only on bed rest and water drinking. Due to the placenta previa, we need to pray that her contractions do not start up again.
VanderHarts came home Haines on Sunday night. The boys were grinning from ear to ear. The enjoyed their fishing completely. Sis Marlys Johnson had some family visiting at the same time as the VanderHarts who have boys the same ages; I think they had a good time together.
Griselda is in Tok for 4 of days attending a Mac Tech meeting..."How Apple Technology can enhance your Classroom Experiencel"... She is learning all sorts of things having to do with Mac/Apple electronics.
Jim and Bonnie have gone to the states visiting for a couple of weeks. Because of that, Pam Gorman and Drew are here to care for Pam and Bonnie’s mom. It has been really nice to have them around. (Yes, Bonnie, we want you back; you’re irreplaceable!)
I heard from the Trotters yesterday. Things are going as well as can be expected; Bro Andy is encouraged. He is receiving radiation each weekday and his weekly chemo port was put in yesterday (taken out on Fridays).
David Dee, (Sarh Jepsen's cousin who used to live here) got food poisoning on Sunday. He was very sick and then spiked a fever. Last night, he was taken to the hospital and put in ICU due to infection and an enlarged heart. David just messaged me to say he was fine. Okay, I’ll take that.
Sarah Jepsen's cousin, Dick, will arrive tomorrow night. He came to visit me a couple of years ago. Then this weekend, we along with Chris’s family will travel to Haines for a week. We all enjoy him, he is a very spry individual even though he is not a spring chicken.
Rob is enjoying his riding with Stardust Stables, although we've had a few interruptions with sickness (instructor broke her foot), weather and such. On the academic side: he has been going to Fairbanks Talkabout a speech clinic, to make him more proficient in his reading, we shall see as time progresses how effective this has been. Like many teenaged boys he does not like to read but can read more than he likes to make you think.
Have a great Tuesday!
