June

Where is the summer going? June is three-fourths over and we don't have much to show for it. I haven't even updated my blog! Kristen tells me that it is a necessity. Since she thinks she is the boss, I guess I will have to follow her instructions. I think she has 26 hours in her day. I don't know how she managed to get 2 of mine. I only have 22.

We went to Bear Lake at the first of the month. We were only there for a weekend, but it was fun. If I knew how to add pictures, you could see the blue water and the blue sky. The weather was beautiful for that early in the summer.

We have a trip planned to Branson and another to Disneyland. Kim and family and Kristen and family will be going to Disneyland with us. I wish the other kids could go also, but their schedules wouldn't allow it. We will miss them.

We have been busy around the house. Kent is trying to put in a deck in the backyard. I've been trying to organize some things in the house. That hasn't happened since we moved in nearly 2 years ago. I have so many things of my parents still around. I wish I weren't such a packrat!!! I have such a difficult time throwing things away.

I have been having pressure in my chest and have been short-winded for about a week. I had a stress test today and my heart seemed to be doing just fine. I would think it was my gallbladder, but I don't have one. So, hopefully, it is nothing to worry about. Getting old has its good things (retirement and grandchildren) and its bad things (health problems). I admire those who make it into their 80's and 90's and still seem young.

If I can get Kristen to teach me how to add pictures, I'll add some sometime!! Life is pretty good most of the time!!
