Summer

It appears that I'm not the only one busy and not blogging too much lately. Having a busy but good summer. I am babysitting for Amber and Clay two days a week at their home. I wanted to give them more time at home, plus my house stays a little cleaner. Rick, Amber and I went camping at the Old timers Thresher's Reunion at Denton, NC last week from Wednesday through Saturday. It rained a little every day, sometimes just during the night. Even with the rain, the weather was much better that usual. Temps were much nicer when it was overcast or cloudy. Hannah and Clay joined us on Friday morning. Amber and Clay enjoyed seeing and riding the steam engine whose track was just about 100 feet from our camp site. The train passed by about every 45 minutes. The engine only pulled 3 cars and 1 caboose, but was usually filled with riders who were waving out the windows at us every time. I had a good time, but got very little rest. I heard "Come on, Granny" several hundred times. But I knew that was the way it was going to be. Rick attached a tractor seat to the rear of the golf cart for Amber to ride on. It was mounted on a bar, hooked to the trailer hitch. When we rode, the seat bounced slightly, which was usually enjoyed by Amber. Was enjoyed by Hannah also, except when we got caught out during one of the rain showers which soaked Hannah.

If I am not mistaken, Dad is to have the knot removed from his neck this Friday. Doesn't seem to be much, since it will be in the doctor's office. Hope that you all had a nice 4th. Me? - well I was just recouping from the camping trip. Didn't even bother riding out to see the fireworks. Rick and I did go biking for a while that afternoon. Hope to see you all soon, Bertha
