Thursday, June 17th

 Oh my I can not believe it is already Thursday and the last blog I did was on Monday.

TERRY

There is nothing new about Terry.  I would say over the last few days she has been same same.

I am not going to blog much today.  We are expecting Cynthia with four of her kids to arrive in less than an hour.  Faustina, Jude, Benedict and Agatha will be here for the next few days.  We have the swimming pool ready and enough sleeping bags and pillows for all.  John will arrive maybe on Monday with Elspeth and Audrey so for the next few days few days we will be busy and have fun.  I THINK I have enough food in the house but not sure as it has been a LONG time since I cooked for several kids.  We have the important stuff!!!  That is ice cream and soda for floats and some cookies and goodies so we should be good.

This tree reminded me of our tree on the farm.

The tree was on the east side of the house near the road.  That was before we planted a shelter belt there so it was kind of alone.  We would take the screen off the window in the bedroom and shot black birds out of the tree.  As the shelter belt grew that tree was taken down.  In the shelter belt we had plum trees that provided a lot of good eating in late summer.  

No, that is it as I am looking at 5:30 and the kids may arrive in the next half hour or so.  I may take a swim before it gets busy.  NO FP today as there was tennis at 7:30 and then just too much to do when I got home so a day without FP is kind of a lost day!!!
