HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

MON: We got home on Monday afternoon about 1:30 or 2pm. By 4:15 I was on my way to help pick up the ditch for our Lions Club and then off to a Lions dinner and meeting at 6pm.
Tired. Poor Jim that did all the driving to Remer from Las Vegas in 3 days.
TUE: Prayer group was cancelled because Janet didn't feel well. We had to run the truck to Grand Rapids because it kept overheating going up the mountains. We dropped it off and then Jim had a council meeting and I have been busy cleaning out the camper and washing clothes. Having fun hanging them out. What a wonderful day for it. Had a party to go to tonight at Denice's but skipped it. I did go over to Sues this morning and go for a 3 mile walk with her and Gary. Worked on the Rummage sale stuff.
WED: We had WELCA today at 9am and I left to pick up Jim at 11am so we could go to Sartel and get shots in our left eyes. We stopped in to give a quick quick hello to Alexis at Subway and grabbed a bite to eat. We were only 10-15 min. late to our appt. We were home again by 6pm.
THURS; Ronnie showed up and took Jim fishing. I have some more Rummage sale stuff to do today. Need to see Dan about the bulletin board in town and get flyer's printed and off. I mailed out 6-7 letters yesterday about advertisement. Only one to go and I need to verify their address. I am also running boxes in for the rummage sale. About 5 carloads to go.

WE ARE IN LAS VEGAS

We are in Las Vegas. Today is the day some of Jim's Army buddies will be coming over for Beer and Brats. We have to go shopping. His one buddy Bill and wife Lynn can't make it due to health reasons concerning her. We had dinner at their house in Lake Elsnore and she has just been getting worse and worse and they thought he illness due to a hip replacement and her rejecting it. It sounds like something else is happening.

Wed - A VERY HOT DOWN DAY

We needed a wonderful down day and part of it was taking a drive around the area of Hemet and San Jacinto. Of course we went to the pool and read and swan. Love the life of leisure. The sailing ship you see is in someone's back yark and there is a castle along the road. Weird.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO LOOK AT ANY MORE FLOWERS - I GO AND BRING MY CAMERA

Will add rest of photo's later. Out of time. Off to Oceanside today on Thurs.

Here are the pictures I took the day we went to UC Riverside. I usually let Jim do all the photos but I just had a hankering that day. Enjoy.

MARCH FIELD AIR MUSEUM

We had such a nice conversation with two volunteer's at the desk. One fella was with the Royal Air Force in England. So many wonderful stories. He was a navigator a B-29 or something. Jim knows. He knows all these planes. He sure had fun looking around. So did I. It just kept getting hotter and hotter. The temp gage on our truck quit so we don't know what the temp is outside when we are in the truck now. We are going back to the cemetery there. I must get Maryann's Dad's name. He is buried at the military cemetery in Riverside.

A copy of the poem High Flight is in one of the photo's.

TUEDSAY WAS UNIV OF CA RIVERSIDE DAY

Had to be. I will get the days straight if it kills me. Or did we go on Monday. Heavens, I am not quite sure, We always seem to have one or two down days in between. I need my coffee
We did two things today, we went to the Botanical Gardens at the University and We went to Wright Field. PLANES, PLANES, PLANES.
I think I will do the gardens first. We left the kids at home and it was about a 45-50 min driver over to Riverside. A really hot day so we couldn't take Makons and Otto. My favorite thing of course was the signage. I am so sick of snake signs. I sure won't miss that when I get home.
