It's been awhile since our last post. Last weekend took a trip down to Coarsegold as Mitchell had Friday off we we met up for a short visit. We miss him terribly and can't wait for him to return home in two weeks.

Heather came up for lunch and then Kristen and Jason came up for Dinner with happy news... they are having a baby next February. This will be mom's first Great Grandchild. Another Goal to meet!

This weekend I took mom out to the Sr. Citizen Community Center Giant Rummage sale. She was looking forward to it all week. She was looking for more picture frames for more collages, but they did not have any worthy enough. We took a quick run over the hill to Aaron Brothers penny sale and picked up a couple more for her - that should keep her busy for a few weeks. After our shopping we stopped at Kennys for the traditional Saturday "Filet of Sole" special. Set her all up at home with collage project and lunch then I took off for a few walks around the track at Oceana for the Relay for Life - American Cancer Society Fund raiser. I participate with the Friends of the Quilt Lady ( to honor Sharon Hale) Here is Jim and Jeannie and Alan and John. It was a good day, except for once I got home... Jones had cornered a baby skunk on the patio. He got a good spray so right into the shower for us both. Ousted the house and Fabrezzed the carpets and furniture... hope it all disipates by the a.m. He won't be sleeping in my room tonight... sorry about that Jones. You have to choose your playmates more wisely!
