The hummingbirds finally
found my feeders and I have at least a dozen zooming around so far,
eating and fighting and providing lots of entertainment for me and
the family. Emmett really likes to watch them. I have one feeder
hanging right outside the dining room window, and my high chairs for
the grandbabies sit directly in front of the window. Emmett will see
the birds buzzing around and will climb up in the high chair and
point, grin and jabber about them.
Scott Lawson had duty
weekend at Whiteman AFB last weekend, so Julie and the grandbabies
stayed with us while he was there. Garrett decided that since the
weather was so hot it must be time to go to Buck Creek. He said he
just wanted to play in the sand, and camp, and maybe swim if the
water wasn't too cold. So, Saturday afternoon we drove to Buck Creek.
It is one of our most favorite places and it was a nice drive.
Garrett and Makenna played in the sand and waded a little bit but
Garrett decided it was too cold for swimming. He was right, although
to our surprise there were several there swimming when we arrived.
Emmett slept through the whole thing and none of us woke him because
he is like his grandma and sometimes he is pleasant when he wakes up,
and sometimes he is like a little bear. The campsite was full of
campers. We didn't camp but it would have been a really pleasant time
to have done that.
I saw on facebook that
Robyn and Don Whittaker's grandchildren had the same idea and were
playing at the creek. Robyn said that it was too cold to swim but
they “accidentally” got in up to their waists.
Bob thought our calves
were in Alva and Edna Mae Johnson's garden the other day and went to
get them out and run them home but it turned out they weren't our
calves that day. While he was there he got to visit a few minutes
with Alva and Edna Mae. Edna Mae recently had to have a pacemaker put
in and Edna says she is doing very well with it. Alva and Edna live
only about a mile from us. I so enjoy the times I have visited with
them and we need to visit more. We are so busy these days and really
let that get in the way of more important things, like visiting with
our dear neighbors.
Steve Combs got word last
week that there was a liver available for him so he and Dee made the
trip to St. Louis where he underwent a liver transplant. Of course,
this is some of the most serious surgery one could have and Steve
will be in ICU several days and monitored closely but overall, Steve
is doing well. Steve is very blessed to have a big, loving supportive
family with him. Please keep Steve and his whole family in your
prayers. Also remember the family of the donor for their life-saving
gift.
Our good friend, Nadine
Horner had a stroke last week and is in the hospital. Her boys flew
in to see her and made her very happy. She is one of the sweetest
people I have ever met. I recently asked her and her sister-in-law,
Nadine Horner, if the family called them Joe's Nadine and Ted's
Nadine to keep from being confused and they said yes they did. So,
this is Joe's Nadine that I am talking about. Joe and Nadine have
lived in Bradleyville for several years now. Nadine was our cook at
Bradleyville School for many years. Continued prayers for Nadine for
a full recovery.
Remember that in the next
few weeks Tanya Rogers will be taking over writing this column so if
you have any news or birthdays or anniversaries you would like in the
paper be sure to let her know.
