What a week
Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon have all passed away this past week. Farrah and Michael in the same day. I was totally shocked about Michael, but now it sort of doesn't surprise me so much as he has been on a downhill spiral for years now and looked just awful. I'm sure it was drug related, time will tell. Poor Farrah finally succumed to her cancer, she put up quite a fight though and I had seen her documentary on her journey with this dreaded disease just a few weeks ago.
The weather stinks! The humidity has arrived and we've been running the A/C quite a bit. Every day it rains or gets to looking like it's going to rain, then it clears for a bit and then back to clouds. We've had a few thunder boomers pass through, but nothing too bad yet.
Hannah was sick with a stomach bug yesterday and spent the day on the couch and didn't go to the campground as planned. She did go today though and played with Shayla til around supper time.
Devon has been running the roads and decided to just not come home last night from work til I called looking for her at 3:30 this morning! She certainly knows how to push her luck with me that is for sure. Dear God give me the grace to endure with my sanity intact this next full year! She did manage to pull off a pretty good end of the year report card though, but it's the company she keeps that's getting her into these tight spots with Mama! She knows better, it's just a matter of how far she is going to push me...
There was a suicide this past week too. David Willis. His entire family is realing and understandable so. I ran into Sherrie at RJ's yesterday after work and she said Caitlyn is doing ok. Lots of troubling stuff in that family and now this...it's becoming such a sad sad world --- no it IS such a sad sad world...
I can't believe the 4th of July is nearly upon us. We plan to go to the parade and then up to the campground to spend some time with friends and maybe overnight in our new tent. I need to get that out tomorrow and sew it!
Otherwise the summer has started off not so bad. Our gardens our growing and the flowers look nice. Tomorrow after my car appt I need to weed the veggie garden some and plant the girl's sunflower seeds up there.
It's going to go by fast though...this summer time of ours!
