Sorry if I can't keep up with everyone.....it has been one H**! of a day...

Got up this morning and finished re-doing the bed next to the driveway....got all of the Retaining stones moved and the bed enlarged.....mom had been working on moving stuff in her craft room....again.....was up in the eighties at this point so we took a break and went out to get an umbrella plant and some bottom plants for the pond....pick up a few bags of garden soil and river rock to finish off the bed. When we returned home Bill arrived for lunch. I went home to fix his lunch, mom had a shelf unit she wanted to shorten a few inches to fit a different location. I thought I heard someone yell and the dog started to bark....I go running out to find that mom's hand slipped and she had cut a big gash in her left thumb with the band saw. The FD decided she needed to go in and have stitches so off we go. three and a half hours and five stitches later we finally get home from emergency. They were so swamped there today I couldn't believe it!

Got a call from Laura, they finally made it to their destination.....10 hour drive! Sage did great, which was good to hear as she often suffers from car sickness.....maybe she is finally outgrowing that!

Did get the plants in the pond and the rock placed around the bed after it cooled down about nine tonight.....got to 91 here today......

tomorrow should be better...MIL wants to go to Morton about fifty miles away to buy blueberries....they have beautiful blueberries at the berry farm about three miles from our house....I don't know why she can't buy those instead.....besides she will insist on driving and she is not a good driver....I hate riding with her (I am not a good passenger even with a good driver).....wish us well.

Betty have a safe and enjoyable trip......loved the account of your son's trip...wish there had been internet back when we did all of our bicycle and kayak trips years ago.....I know how he feels about peoples directions......we asked how far to the summit of one of the mountain passes we were riding over....a driver told us it was only about 8 miles....22 miles later we were still going up hill !!

Waving to all and hope you have a good night....

Here is the latest addition to the pond....
