Just An Update

Well I have returned from Kentucky and had a wonderful trip. Thanks again Ed and Cindy, you are such great hosts, it was fun and lucrative.........(wink!). By the way, we got our grass Cindy and I am planting today, so will keep you posted, how did your flower boxes turn out? Have you made a decision on whether you can make it to Traverse City? I am keeping my fingers crossed. Stan and I went up to Northport yesterday to check out the marina. Didnt want to take the boat up if there wasnt alot of room, but as it turns out, its perfect. No one was staying at the house either, wondered if we couldnt get in early if no one has it this next week............what do you think Linda? The boys left for Calif. Thursday night, had a three hour delay and made it out after 10 p.m., which made a late night for Theresa and I. Called at three a.m. to let us know they arrived and havent heard much since then, must be having a great time. I am looking so forward to our vacation week, it will be so wonderful to see whoever makes it. For those that cant we will be thinking of you and missing you. Well that about sums it up, see everyone soon. Rose and I will be getting together to discuss the food and menu's today and then Tate and I go to Splash Village in Frankenmuth to spend the night and play in the water. Love you all, Es

A poem!

Hi girls! We just got done with a thunderstorm and dime sized hailstorm! Whew! Its a quiet Sunday now so I thought I would write a little note on the blog. Went to church this morning and visited with the regular church folk, had a good sermon. We sure do like our Pastor and admire what he and the church is all about. It makes Sunday very special to us. Went to lunch with my old friend Vera and her 94 year old friend Lena after church. Two absolutly great women. I enjoy their company any time we are together. Larry had a golf skirmish in Saginaw with a bunch of friends...he was itching to play an 18 hole game of golf. Unfortunatly he may be rained out!
Olivia and I are heading for Ky. to visit Aunt Cindy and Uncle Ed in Sept. Looking forward to another visit with my sister and Livey is excited about the plane trip. Then in Oct. we may be heading to Calif. for harvest and a visit with Kathy and Jeff. Looking forward to going West again. Life is good...we are well. Hope the same for all of you. I am including a little poem that I love so I am sharing it with you. It comes out of the book "The Storytellers Daughter"...a very good book about the Middle East. Hope you like it. I love you all, Rose

From every heart is a window to other hearts,
They are not seperated like two bodies
Just as, even tho two lamps are not joined,
Their light is united in a single ray.

Heading South

Well no one seems to want to post anymore..............whats up with that? I am heading down to Kentucky for the weekend to spend some time with my little sister. Will be leaving this afternoon and getting there tomorrow afternoon. I am taking my little Lucy with me so it should be quite an adventure for her. When I return the boys will be heading to California and after that we have the Traverse City house so it is going to be a full summer, one of which I am looking forward to. I hope everyone is happy and healthy and enjoying their summer so far, I think of everyone alot and love you all. I will write again when I return, see you tomorrow Cin. Love Es.
