Summer is here!

Donna's Projects

We are happy to report that both of us are well and having lots of fun.  Donna's tooth was fixed with a patch and if all goes well, it will last a long time.  You know, the teeth are gettting old!  The dentist said that tooth is 60 years old - guess I'm lucky it's still there!   What could have been a two hour dentist visit and lots of money turned out to be 30 minutes and not so bad.

Our friends, Paul and Mary, were here to visit us last weekend.  Donna and Mary were lucky to spend a girlfriend's day eating brunch out and yarn shopping!  What fun we had.  They were with another couple from their neighborhood, Bob and Judy.  The next day, they all left on a trip to Alaska where they will be for the next 3 months.  Hope they have a blast.

Another set of friends, Stephen and Leona, from Chilliwack BC, Canada, paid us a visit the next day.  It was so good to see them again!  They are such fun.  We had a good visit, barbeque lunch and ice cream as a send off.  We look forward to seeing them again this winter in Hemet.   They were in Washington to visit Mt. St. Helen and were just an hour away, so wanted to get together.

While Donna was down with bronchitis, she had even more time to indulge in her favorite addiction - knitting.  Included are some pictures of some items I've made.  I'm so proud of Tom because he's decided to learn how to knit too.  It's a riot listening to him carry on and watch him get so frustrated.  He isn't as persistent as I want him to be (I'm the teacher, you know), but he keeps trying and that's what counts.  One of these days, he'll make something.  It seems a couple glasses of wine makes it go smoother, but when he looks at it the next day, he can't figure out what he did!!!   It's all fun anyway.

We haven't had a chance to take any short trips that we are planning this summer, but now that we are both well, we plan to get out and go soon.  When we do, we'll have some pictures to show and something interesting (we hope) to write about. 

Hope you're summer is going well and Happy 4th of July next week.

Not Much New....

Sorry to be "stalling out" on the blog, but not much happening to report. It's been raining a bit here, which is normal for this time of the year. We thought because we had some unseasonally nice warm, dry, sunny weather when we got here, that the rainy season was gone........wrong!!! Tom is healed from the dreaded bacterial crude that he had for 7 weeks. And Donna is mending nicely too. Not completely done with it, but much, much better. We had a "date day" today and went to the movies and saw "What To Expect When You're Expecting"! Cute show, but not outstanding by any means. Donna broke a tooth on some popcorn while watching the movie. Always something. She's going in to see what can be done tomorrow AM. We'll see what we'll see. Work here in the park is going well, no big events happening, but we are doing our Water Aerobics classes 6 days a week (weather permitting). Tom is also attending a walking video class in the clubhouse twice a week.
Lots of scheduled events are coming in July and August. It will be fun for sure. Not much else to report, but we hope your summer, is going great and we wish you the best of health and great fun!!!
