Been Busy

I have been ever so busy.  The end of the school year, beginning of summer, it has all happened too quickly.

Greene County Schools graduated the Class of 2010 last Friday night.  What a warm and wonderful night it was.  Another school year comes to an end.

I do have to say, I have been off the chemo drugs for two weeks now.  I have probably felt the best, slept the best, eaten the best.... since last summer before I got sick.  I know that will change when I start the new drugs on Wednesday, so I have tried to live as fast and furiously as I could.  Please know I have packed as much as I could into these days because it will change soon.

Here's a few of the things I have done, in no particular order!

Visited a buffalo ranch in North Carolina.  

Visited a Charolais cattle farm.  Loved the donkey (on the right) they have to help protect the baby calves from coyotes and other predators.  He was ever so curious of visitors. 

Painted my big rooster that John gave me for my birthday!

Had a wonderful visit from my friends at work.  They brought food, cards, and lots of love.  I do so miss all of my work buddies!  How kind they have been.

Attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the American Prawn Cooperative in Walstonburg. 

(Or as we call them, Greene County Shrimp!)

Natalie and Johnny, you have done a great job!

Visited the river to see how the cottage is coming along.  Please hurry, I need some porch time soon!

Learned how to make jewelry with my friend, Pat.  

Had a wonderful birthday visit from my friend Dorothy.  She brought a beautiful handmade (her hands) pillow case for me to use.  The case has Dick and Jane with little red wagons on it.  When I first learned to read, our books used Dick, Jane and Spot, to teach us.  Oh yeah, and Fluffy the cat.

And she brought yellow, red and orange plums from her trees.

Sprinkle in a Happy Birthday dinner at Ribeye's with Harold and you can see I tried not to waste a minute of time!

Pulling my wagon as fast as I can go....
