Traude and Jo
Sure is good to hear from both of you. I don’t have a kindle and probably won’t get one.
I am going for a swim and then preparing for the arrival of two daughters and my son. He was sent to Baltimore for a conference or something and is taking the train here and will be with me until Tuesday. He was lucky that we had planned a 50th party for Jenny and my other two daughters will be coming so he will see his sisters. It will be a busy time and I am looking forward to it. We and he didn’t know he was coming when we planned the party so it indeed was a stroke of luck. El Paso is too far away to just fly here for a day or two.
We have had a great summer so far, cool at night and not too hot or humid during the day. Haven’t had to use the AC yet. We had no spring, it rained almost every day. It was good for the plants though. My neighbors tomato plants are over 8 feet tall. He had to get 8 foot stakes from Home Depot. (it was also good for the weeds)
