Company Today

 Ada is coming today. Maybe Greta too!

Astrid has a big flock of chickens. Hers make mine look sickly and pitiful. Laura and Astrid hosted game night at Astrid and LR’s house. I came for the foods before. It was really a treat. All was delicious. I didn’t stay for the games. I came home and let my chickens free range. But…I’m not a quick thinker anymore and I would put my team to a disadvantage. All Laura’s family loves games of all kinds. Eric was playing cards and couldn’t attend. He plays magic card games. He has all his adult life. It’s  extra complicated.

Astrid’s climbing Mandevilla vine is full of blooms. It’s covering the trellis like she planned.
Pretty potted petunia 
I went to the grocery store so I’d have things Ada loves to eat. It’ll be afternoon before they get here. Working Mothers  have so much to do. Laura said we could come over and swim. Sig, LE, and Laura went on a hike today. I think they’re going to Haw Creek and Pam’s grotto. It’s a secluded waterfall in the Ozark National Forest. There’s a cave too, all  beautiful!! Maybe they’ll share some pictures. Hiking was something I loved to do, but it’s in my past now.

Pretty flowers! The joy of swimming in a natural pond and waterfall is a rarity these days. Bet the water is cool too. Linda in Kansas

That Mandevilla is ever so pretty! Have fun with Ada and Greta! I love playing board games and card games too! Magic Cards I have not heard of that...sounds interesting!
