~~~ June 18 ~~~ This meal was a gift to Cerwin from Roy and Deb. I think it was Deb and Roy who got soup for an appetizer: potato and lobster bisque. The chicken meal belonged to Barb. Roy and Cerwin each chose a steak with meaty baked beans. Roy had a loaded baked potato […]
I can’t explain why a Calla Lily looks and feels like peace to me. Maybe it’s the beautiful contrast between white and green. Things I learned from the Internet: Calla lilies are native to South Africa and are considered tender perennials because they don’t tolerate freezing weather. Calla lilies are terrific cut flowers. They last […]
~~~ Saturday Evening, June 17 ~~~ It was a beautiful evening for a birthday party at Donovan and Diana’s place.

~~~ Saturday Afternoon, June 17 ~~~ We gathered at Jakey and Crystal’s (daughter) house about 12:30 pm to surprise Elvin and Patti when they arrived – about 1 pm.

~~~ Monday, June 12 4:16 pm ~~~ Notice the date. This is about a week and a half ago. At this time in June the ground in our area was very dry, so this sky and the weather forecast gave us hope for rain. Then it came. Oh, the beautiful sound of rain. It came […]
~~~ Sunday Evening, June 11 4:00 pm ~~~ Electrical Construction was the theme of the cake. It appears that he was facing the sun. I love how Jere and Kristen decorate their yard and patio.

I took a series of pictures during the growth of our yucca plant and flowers. This was back on May 25 when the four tall stalks looked like very large asparagus. June 5 after the stalks were separating into flower stems. By June 10 Cerwin needed to wrap ropes around them so they would stay […]
