Hello everyone,

   I hope this finds you all content, happy and full of life! Today it was quite warm here, but wonderful non the less.

   Thomas went home on Friday. I miss him SO much. Thomas is my 7, almost 8 yr. old grandson. He spends his summers with PaPa and I. He's my first grandchild and is so close to my heart. I was in the delivery room when he was born. Such a cute little miracle. Now, such a big boy with huge blue eyes, very inquisitive and a quick smile. I miss him....

   My new porch is done except for the out door carpet. Frank is still trying to come up with a design for the stairs that he will be happy with. I keep telling him just to make them look like the steps on the other side of the porch, but he isn't convinced that he likes that idea. I have to make him SEE the finished product before he'll agree to it. Funny, the ones we use on the front part of the porch, work great and look fine. He makes me laugh.

     I have re-arranged the porch furniture three times now. I love being able to do that. I can't in the RV because all the furniture is nailed down, so I shall work out my frustrations on the porch furniture. It's fun!

   I pray that you all are having a blessed summer. It's been hot, I've lost some dear friends to a necessary move and Thomas is home, but life on my much bigger porch is great... :-)
