June, 2013

The very first day of May, we had an excellent blizzard!
Would you believe it's almost summer? 1 May 2013	Watering plants, Wyoming-style, 1 May 2013	For the boys, from Alissa 1 May 2013	Got the Style department cornered... 1 May 2013	All chunks & slabs. Spring Snow. 1 May 2013

Eli & Taylor had to dig us out. It sure is nice to have able-bodied young men doing the dirty work that I used to have to do!

Things keep getting better & better. Pictures from Idaho show interesting developments...

Spring unfolded. The leaves had yet to burst forth, but we were too busy to be impatient for summer.

Our grandson, "Turbo," is on the way. Seems like the whole family is awaiting his arrival. Especially his maternal grandmother. She's working on his birth needlepoint. His aunts & uncles are about to re-define their lives around him. Atleast, that's how I see it...

Eli's graduation party is on the last day of May. After that, it's all up in the air. All we know is that he graduates, and begins his life's journey. (Gulp!)
