Catching up on news!

Sorry, I've been very lax about posting on here lately . . . and someone even noticed!  We made it back to Tennessee from Missouri around the end of May.  Spent June doing several doctors' appointments plus WC getting his heart shocked back into rhythm on June 18.  He says he feels much better!   Here's some catch up pics:

They turned out really pretty.  It's said that the ones with two or more knees are more valuable. 

(They were stuck in the fence to dry.  Blogger wouldn't let me go back and add that!)

The one on the right has its own, unique attitude!

 

 

Finally done waxing! Only took me 3 weeks and 2 days!  Thanks to our son and grandson who washed the roof and gutters, respectively, for me!

 

July 4th--This is how southerners celebrate!  Had a great visit with family and friends, even if we were scrunched on the porch of our storage building with a fan!  And we had flies as special, uninvited guests.  Guess this would qualify for "You might a redneck if .. ."
