August

 My dear mother likes photographic proof that I'm still alive. Yup. It's me. And my flowers are doing well. I hope Opa noticed that the Petunias had a second burst in August...which was for those who were "very lucky" I think he said?

 We went to our last summer get together for our moms support group. We were the only ones who showed up at our gracious hostesses pool. Lovely day for a swim!

 But I decided to drop out of the group...and 'cause I was worried that I'd be bored I picked up the job of watching a cute little chap on Fridays. He helps me with housecleaning. None of my kids volunteer anymore, (generally speaking they do what they have to when they are reminded and are careful not do extra by mistake) so it's nice to have someone jumping in eagerly!! ;) Who knows...maybe his good attitude will rub off on the others. :p
