well I ;made it to the 85 ;mark, and got to go zip lining, it was fun , my daughter in law went with me. I needed her to hold on to walking from one ride to the other. and sun. they had a big get together at a mex rest . and almost all of the family was there, I think there were twenty something there, food was good and cake was good. and gifts were good. I have a great family. love them all. and that includes my husband also, love him also. and the bunch at the resturant came out and sang happy birthday in spanish to me, so I didn't know a word they said. but it was nice. and we were celebrating 3 birthdays, but one didn't come so his wife got his ice cream. my great grand daughter who was born on my birthday, and now she has to share her party with me. but I think she gets another after they get home.
   been waiting for my tulips to bloom and the one big bed that was so pretty last yr. has not prospered this year, I think because this has been such a wet april that the bulbs must have disintergrated, or what ever they do. so I think I am going to put a bunch of white petunias in it.
   earl has gone to play music,
   the baby has been sick for about 5 days, and yesterday couldn't walk, had a vet appt, for he today , but she is better so we cancelled it. she is walking a l ittle and eating and so far keeping it down. so i hope she is back to normal tomorrow. well will close for now. :I want to put some pictures on here, so will be back


                           

                                                                     

           I has really been a not so good month, with all the rain and flooding, and then this weekend the freezing and we had to get out and get buckets and cans and baskets and we think the freeze didn't get them. I love my flowers out in the yard,
went to sun school this morn, Pat didn't make it as she over slept, she is up half the night and sometimes has to sleep in the daytime. I know she doesn't get enough sleep. earl is asleep now, I think he gets enough, he can sleep all night and then nap in the chair most of the day and then sleep that night, I can't do that, fi I sleep in the day time I may not sleep when I go to bed.
I wanted to go on the cancer walk sat, but I just can't take this cold, I went the last 2 yrs, I talked to   Sal and he said it really was cold.  I hope he doesn't get sick over this.
have to get off now, later  love you all.

 will try to put some more on here, finding out how hard it is to take time to write, I don't think I could ever write a book. unless I had years to do it. earl has gone to play music with a bunch of his friends,  they  are playing in a basement of a church in greensboro, He loves to sing and play his guitar, He took a motorcycle ride yesteday, He doesn't enjoy it as much just going by himself,
I got to tell you what charlene and john got for me for my 85 birthday, a trip on the zip line ;down in brown county. my bithday is not till the 29, but it was a real pretty day and we took advantage of it, earl and john took pictures,   earl said he never did have a hankering to do that. but I thought it would be fun. and it was fun after I learned how to sit down , but never did get the hang of stopping, this one at rawhide ranch doesn't have a brake to stop you, and you have to be running when you land to get it stopped and I kinda messed up on that, but there were 6 rides and I made 4 of them before I decided it was time to bow out, as the last 2 were longer and faster. and I guess I had enough to wear me out. but glad I did it. when I get the pics from char I will put some of them on here, hope it wont be so long before I am on here again.  love  you
