Saturday, May 12, 2007

This morning, I placed a couple photos on the blog. It takes some time to find them in the files. I went to the Laundromat and washed my quilt. It is very thick and wouldn’t fit in my washer. I bought three plastic storage bins from the Family Dollar. I figured I would start getting the house ready to sell. I might as well start with my winter clothes.

I went to the nursery and bought my summer flowers. I got pink, lavender and white impatiens for the back and side yards and light pink vincas for the front. I put my planters from last year out and I see the little moss roses coming up.

We just got back from my brother’s. I went over this afternoon and took some azaleas my neighbor had given me. It was hard digging in his yard because of the tree roots. I put five in his front flower bed and the large one was put out back where there are less roots.

Don cut the grass while I planted. We went and got a pizza and watched a movie. It started raining and was really coming down when left. It rained hard all the way home. It seems to have let up a little. I hope Danny doesn’t want to go out. I am ready for bed.

Good morning Karol,

Thanks for putting another picture of Danny Boy standing "tall" - at least as tall as he gets. He is just so precious. I love seeing him.

I bet your yard is so lovely. You really work hard at it to make it that way. With my condition such as it is now, I really can do very little in the yard, but thankfully my dear husband enjoys working outside so he always plants the summer flowers. I am so thankful.

Is real estate moving slowly in your area? Battle Creek has lost so many jobs because the Kellogg Co. has sent quite a few jobs to Mexico and also continues to lay off people every few weeks. We also have the Post operation in Battle Creek and yesterday, they announced they were laying off 30 people now and there will more to follow. We've been hit hard in the employment area, which, consequently has slowed the real estate business bad. In fact, the entire state of Michigan is suffering because we're well known for the automobile industry too, and of course they are suffering with low car sales. Hopefully this downward spiral will end before too long and Michigan will begin to bounce back.

I'm glad you're feeling a little better Karol. Enjoy the beautiful day. Ruth
