Marg’ret missed her flight

My fault, TSA, too long

Lose race to Springfield

 

June 3

Took us out this time

Jack, Aly, Texas Road House

And Jack even drove

 

June 4

With Jack nine holes of golf

My first time in last ten years

Love my wormburners

 

June 5

Tristan lets us rest

All the way from Wichita

Looks into our eyes

Hours every single day

Tonight she made 3’s!

Freewheeling talk with Frachey …

Mimosa, Farkle

 

June 9

Church, Sand volleyball

And we get to take a nap

Sunday in Springfield

 

June 10

Imo’s lunch with John

We both love to hear him laugh

See him at the Fair?

 

June 11

House is still standing

Of course it is! Ev’ry time

I am still surprised

 

June 12

Settle in and sleep

But there really isn’t time

Is this always true?

 

June 13

Illinois is cool

Ah, today I can relax

Take a nap outside

 

June 14

Lots to do – really?

Chickens with our heads cut off.

Find a balance. Rest.

 

June 15

Party at the lake

Lansford music all night long

Come – make some new friends

 

June 16

Northside Church of Christ

Steve Cone, senior pastor

Preached on Father’s Day

 

June 17

God offers ripe wheat

Where is your ladder leaning

Don’t wash, rinse, repeat

 

June 18

Eat the weeds all day

Squeeze out all that I can get

I will have nothing

 

June 19

We created ones

Can’t be happy with the world

We’re just made for God

 

June 20

Sit outside and pray

Share words of hope and courage

Listen to the songs

 

June 21

We could cut it down.

Our back yard is a jungle

Sit, enjoy, lean back

 

June 22

It’s been a long time

And these visits are precious

Yes – more than enough

 

June 23

Joy in Mount Vernon

our family together

just being ourselves

 

June 24

At Friendship Diner

We sit, catch collective breath

Smiling over eggs

 

June 25

Day before the play

Twelfth Night weather promising

Outside under stars

 

June 26

Will these weddings last?

God looks down and calls them true

Six – in two hours!

 

June 27

Freak accident, she

Fell – twelve hours in bathtub

Here she is – praise God!

 

June 28

Don blesses me so much

Just once a year – but oh, so good!

For fifty years? – yes!

 

June 29

Nine par 3 holes with

Chris, Jack – oh, yeah, we must walk

But I stumbled through!

 

June 30

I go through your sin

But it’s such a little thing!

It affects me too …
