The news I sent in last
week vanished somewhere between my computer and the paper. Actually
when I was looking, I could see I never did send it, but I thought I
did. That must have been one of those senior moments I have read
about, right? I'll try to do better in the future.
A very nasty virus has
been making the rounds through our family the past week also and has
really taken a toll on us. It makes a person very sick for just a day
or two, and then when you think it is finally gone, it might come
back for a second round. I am ready for it to be gone for good.
I have heard rumors of
ripe blackberries and blackberry cobblers, but the ones across the
fence are still mostly red. My grandkids check them every time they
are out in the yard to see if they are ripe yet. Daughter Julie says
she is coming down today to find and pick what she can. She is a
blackberry picker deluxe. We let the gooseberries go by the wayside
this year because the poison ivy has grown all through the bushes. I
catch it very easily and so do a couple of the grandkids so we passed
on them this year. I want Bob to cut the poison ivy out and spray
some brush killer on it but I am still waiting for that to happen.
Our hearts were saddened
this past week when Bob's stepdad, Scott Collins passed away. Scott
had suffered from pancreatic cancer for just a few weeks and we are
very sad but so glad he is not suffering any more. Lots of family
and friends gathered to lay him to rest at the cemetery in Protem
last Friday afternoon.
The bridge over Beaver
Creek at Brownbranch is finally complete and open to traffic. We
drove across it last night and it's sure enough a bridge and done.
They will start replacing the bridge right beside it now but there is
a drive around in place so you can get around the bridge and back on
the road. Please use caution when going around the drive through.
New Mansion Church will be
having a Independence Day celebration on Sunday, July 8, fireworks at
dark, everyone welcome.
Please call me with your
news.
