Last of my climbing roses.

First Tomatoes of the Season

Weekend ramblings~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday hubby and I went to the valley to sit with his Mom, while his sister got a break. We had a nice time, lunch out at our favorite Japanese restaurant and stayed around until sister returned. My Mother in law looked good, but since her fall, she has gotten so she can't remember things. She uses a walker, and hopefully will not take anymore tumbles!! She is lucky she didn't break any bones.

Today, I started early, trimming and pulling out weeds, etc in the back yard. I can really feel the aching muscles!! Gotta take something so I will be able to walk my usual around the lake tomorrow. Hey, the bright side is the back looks great. I always enjoy yard work, but I can tell that my age is making it a bit more work than it used to be. Oh, well, I will keep doing it for as long as possible! I picked my first tomatoes the end of last week, they taste wonderful!!! Those bacon, avocado, tomato sandwiches are yummy!! Not bad in salads either. They are ripening just right, so I can keep up with them. Antique Rose

Need some Prayers

Hello everyone,

My friend, and fellow walking partner needs all the prayers that can be said. Her daughter had emergency surgery, and was told she had stage 4 colon cancer, and perhaps had spread into her liver, she will find out results of the biopsies this week. I would appreciate you adding her to your prayers, that she may recover and be well again. This is the second daughter who has had cancer, I am sure my friend could use a prayer too. I cannot imagine having to go this this yet a second time . Thanks so much. Antique Rose

Another successful luncheon.

Another meeting, another success!!!!!!! The ladies who were the hostesses this time did a great job with their salads, bread, and desserts!! Very tasty, and decorations were very festive.Everyone enjoyed them. I got recipe for an exceptional "Pea" salad, was told it was a vintage recipe. Husband wants me to make it for him, so guess that will be one of the items on our next week's menu. :-) Our decorations were patriotic themed. Some very clever ideas there. That was Tuesday. Today, my sister and brother-in-laws came and we went to Lowe's to purchase a new vanity for our main bathroom. After having picked it out, he also installed it. It looks great and was a wonderful 50Th anniversary gift to us. Many thanks to them. We fixed them a nice dinner as thanks, and we enjoyed it along with their company. We should do it more, as time is quickly passing!!!! Well, tomorrow is Friday, the week has flown by once again. With walking each day at the lake, and going to center to volunteer, the time really does fly. This weekend we are being treated to dinner out, and also dinner in. How is that, great huh?!! I know we will enjoy it!!!! Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. Antique Rose
