The three trees in the orchard are really ready to be picked, but no one has arrived to do the job! They are looking very tempting!! Peter is getting a bucketful from Andy's mother in Marinette today!

THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL TV!

Peter built a shelf in the cupboard for the TV that Haley and Bill gave us! Doesn't it look great? The doors do shut and the picture and sound are terrific-thanks so much! This weekend we biked to Kiel and had a three hour adventure on the bikes. When we got back, I went straight to True Value to get a gel seat! Peter harvested the mulberries in the back yard and I made jam-it looks wonderful! We gardened-weeded, transplanted, and planted some vegetables. I am starting my next summer project-filing all the piles of paperwork all over the house. I have been going to water arobics-6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.-feels wonderful before I head off to summer school for the morning!!

Haley and Bill hungry fro a great dinner

A few weeks ago we traveled to Marquette to spend some time with daughter, Haley and husband, Bill. We always enjoy going "up North".
They have especially good Rummage Sales!
