just read Marcy's blog, she does a swell job. I have been following her blog for over a yr. and she does the best photography ,
   I was helping pull weeds and cattails in the field out behind yesterday and got 4 bites, I say spider and earl said it could be chiggers. vinegar kills weeds and chiggers are in the weeds so I soaked my legs in vinegar, but they are still itching this morning. I don't think I will be in the field today, alltho I do like to help earl.
   missing Debbie a lot lately, with all the holidays , she loved parties. and cookouts, and she missed her cruise, but she took the ultimate cruise, not on the sea, but in the air. and got all the perks that went with it. lovely girl.
  
                                                      

    Been  awhile since I have typed anything, I would like to write every day but I am not that person. 
Had fun fathers day cookout at our sons house in morgantown, on sat. the 15th, got to ride the new 4 wheeler 750 . nice , had power steering. He has a woods behind his house and trails going all thru it and in the creek. have so much fun there and visiting with char's brother and his wife, who are the best friends you could ever ask for, super nice people. 
  I am still worrying about daughter Pat, she just isn't getting back to normal. I wish so much that she would stop smoking, I know that would help a lot. It certainly can't be helping any. 
 chris in ky. I don't think she is as well as she wants me to think she is. I don't see her a lot so I have to go by what she tells me. 
 Been trying to clean up this place. earl works on outside and me inside. decided to dust a what knot shelf that looked like it hadn't been dusted for 5 yrs. that got me started. and then I painted the back door inside and the woodwork around it. and plan on doing a lot more today.  I never understand why some one would put the washer and dryer by the furnace. I think that is why I have so much dust. 
 well will get off that subject, 
  Want to say what a fine family  I have, I don't know how I managed to have such marvelous children. Oh and Pat and I and my good daughter in law, and great granddaughter met the daughter from ky , chris. at a halfway point and had a good meal at cracker barrel, and then sat out in front and gave chris her birthday presents, and just had a good visit. so glad char went with us.
 I know there are a lot of things I want to put in here, and I need to start making notes,as they happen. but for now will go put second coat on door.
