"When it is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which we can never be sure" Alice Hoffman author

Good morning all, hope that you have had a great week! Mine hasn't been bad, just one Dr. visit this week for Bill. He got his stitches our from behind his ear. Ouch! Cocoa went to the beauty shop and that is about it for me. What is new with you?

We have some 8th grade graduations this week. I didn't know they still did that, but these are two special people that in the fall they will enter High School.

Carla's granddaughter Jazmyn is graduating

Isn't she beautiful! Then that special great nephew of mine, Jacob Maker is also graduating

I can only say one thing about both of these pictures, we have some handsome & beautiful family members...wonder where they got it from:)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day, I know at least two that did...This first picture is Eric Adams

and his boys, although the picture was not taken on Dad's day it was the week before.....Eric, Ryan 25, Tyson-20, Levi-27. They all met in Seattle, Rick lives in Bessie, and the boys live in Billings, Montana.

Here is Omar Jr. with his sons, next to him is his son Omar, back row on the right is Zachary and Samuel. They had a great weekend in Nantucket and a wonderful time was had by all!

Then there is Evangeline and Kyle on Dad's day

Casey and Eloise

Helen is always working on our genealogy. She has found that we are related to Madonna, Celine Dion etc...but that has not impressed me. Recently she sent me that my daughter are related to Robert Pike Major 9th great grandfather who was instrumental in bringing the Salem Witch trails to and end. Now that impressed me! Really, I know it is great to find out all this stuff, don't know how you feel but I am satisfied knowing both sets of grandparents and my folks worked hard for what they had and I loved them!

Talking about back in time, my friend Letty sent me this picture, it says that it is Wayne Adams, I don't think so I think it is Blair. Can anyone tell me?

Well we are getting closer to our trip to Maine. I am really looking forward to it. But we still have to get a rental car, we may be walking. Diana refused to go higher that $12. a day. :)

I would like to introduce to you another cousin, maybe you already know her

She is a very talented artist and I love her work. Her name is Kellie McQuade Chasse. She lives in Maine and hopefully in the future I will find out more about her that I can share with you. She is Donald McQuade's daughter.

Want to wish Casey & Jess a very happy 9th anniversary on the 25th!

Got the news yesterday that Bud Adams is in the hospital with lung cancer 4. Please keep him in your prayers.

Remember no one loves you like you do! So take really good care of you! Have a great week!

Lots of Love
