Tomorrow is the 4th of July!

 The Summer has crept up on me.
The last post was May 6.  
What happened to May and June?

Let's see, I will start with May...

• Found a friend with a sewing machine so I could make this wall hanging to cover up the stain in the entryway

• Started the Jigsaw puzzle I've been eyeing.  It's going to take a while to finish this.

• The Flags on the boulevard went up for the Summer Season.

• John continues to enjoy the view from "his window view chair"

• The Ancient Mariners had the first Zoom gathering in about 4 months.

Susie, Christine, Melinda, Paula
Candace left early, Mary Sue and Jan didn't make it

• We managed to take a long walk along the River Gave past the Castle Park.

• By the end of the month, the sky views seemed to want to impress us.

We then prepared to travel back to Sierra Madre for the month of June for celebrations and reunions of friends and family with doctors' appointments in between.
