Hi there ya all!

Good day to ya all   Well, the graduations of Jeanne's son Andy, and my son Chris are long gone, as of June 11th.  Andy, and two of his friends left today for Phoenix headed to a culinary institute down there.  They have a nice big U-Haul with a trailer to tow the car.  I sure hate to see them go, yet I have prayed that they have a safe trip.  It's a big trip for the first time.  Jeanne and I had a nice graduation party for Andy and Chris the day after they graduated, and it was fun.  Chris has decided to go to Spokane Falls Community College for two years, and then go on to a four year university.  He is still determined to become a teacher.  He just got another job as a customer service rep. for a bank, and has been in training the last week.  My son Bryan is still aboard ship in the Navy, supposedly around Australia.  He has been gone since the end of April, and should be back sometime in August.  Have sent emails, yet still waiting to receive emails from him.  He and his wife Michelle will be going on a trip some where after he arrives back in port. Bryan will have 11 years in the Navy in October, and has his bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering.  His wife Michelle also has a really good job too.  As for the home front here, I am doing as much as I can to enjoy life, despite all the pain I have.  It doesn't take much to hurt more, swell more, and become quite exhausted, so in the mean time, I find some fun things (crafts, etc.) to do.  Jeanne and I have a blast at one of our favorite web sites, which is  pogo.com.  This site has about every game anyone could ever want to play, and you can win money here, plus it is free.  If you want to double what you win, then you pay only $2.99 per month.  I have a couple of other interesting web sites for anyone who wants to visit.  They are  reopen911.org, and americanfreepress.net.  These are very interesting sites which I visit quite often as well. I use these last two sites to answer questions I have about things that just don't add up.  Any way, they are quite interesting, and eye opening to say the least.  I am also trying to sell some things on Ebay (the biggest yard sale all in one place), and have sold a couple of things.  I just don't always feel good enough to keep up on my selling, so I for sure won't get rich doing this, but it is another fun thing to do.  Chris is moving out of the house possibly next month, into his own apartment, and I am going to rent my basement to a friend of mine.  I also have a 1-1/2 year old German Shepherd female named Jordan, that I may breed this next year.  I have to make sure her hips are ok first though.  She is really smart, and catches on to things really fast, besides being a beautiful specimen of the breed.  She is also my protector, and am trying to teach her some things, so she can kind of be my helper around the house as well. My roses are in bloom, and my wonderful hibiscus are just now starting their blooming time.  I love to go out every morning and enjoy the beauty that God has helped me create.  I also have lots of sunflowers this year (as I wasn't able to do my yearly vegetable garden).  I like lots of sunflowers to come up each year because it attracts my Gold Finches, and I love to watch, and listen to them.  They are so cute.  My sister Jeanne, and I are planning on moving out to the country in a couple of years.  We want to move out to the valley, either northside, or southside. It will be a lot less noise, stress, etc.........
Well, I am going to go play some games, as I did enough house, and yard work in the last couple of days to truly do me in.  In other words, I wake up every morning, and wonder who beat me up during the night (tee hee hee).  I hope you all have a great day, and I will try to send another message in again soon.  Take care and God bless you all!
Love,
Bev

Happy Sunday  everyone,   I hear it is HOT where you are also.  Monsoons are hitting here in Arizona so we now have humidity as well as the heat. Even the natives are complaining.   Not my cup of tea but will survive and it helps Carlos when it is dry heat.  All is well otherwise.   Love to all   Darlene
