Me ready to head for the hospital

My very first day as a non-pink lady (ala Grass Velley) but a blue green lady til I "graduate" and then I will be a bright fuchsia.
It appears that I am a shining star already.  Note picture behind the faucets - it has been my inspiration since Highland Drive days - "There's A Lot To Be Said In Favor Of Procrastination" - and I recommend it to every one but Greg who doesn't have time to procrastinate.
Note politically correct grocery bags hanging on my front door knob - they usually remain there when I go grocery shopping.  Perhaps I should keep them on the floor in front of the door.

The boys

Once again I could not find the way to publish comments with my post.  Anyhow, as you can see, the boys went out to capture some bugs - Terry expecially well equiped.  Somehow, the bow and arrow was too much - I had to record it for all to see.

Bug Hunters

The pictures below

I managed to get three pictures posted but could not figure out how to add further descriptions.  Actually most do not need a description.  The supposed labeled "Big Splash" is Terry having a grat time leaping into the pool.  The other two need no explanation other than to point out that the cake had the candles that refuse to give up - those candles had Terry quite bewildered.  \An amazing aside - Terry had both of his great grandmothers at the party.  As for me, having a seven years old great grandson is quite wonderful.

Terry si seven!

Misled!

Well, we were led astray by  Karen on June 11th!  She wrote  "Summer is here" - so today we await a rain storm complete with snow in the mountains.  (Just to be fair - the temp is supposed to be 100 plus by the 4th.)  (Also on the fair line, the temp will be 70 plus here.)

How about this?

Karen gave this painting to me on Mother's Day - this picture does not do the painting justice. She has a picture of Russ's cabin that she used for inspiration. As far as I know, this is her first painting. Needless to say, I truly love it and am so fortunate to have it hanging in my "house". Hopefully, Karen will take brush in hand many more times.
