Summer Gardening

Despite the lack of rain and higher temperatures, we have been having a lovely gardening summer. Lots of new plants and it just keeps getting better!

Happy Birthday Aunt Rosanne and Jack!

We drove upstate to Lake George to see my Aunt Rosann and Jack for their birthdays! My Aunt turned 90, she is my Mom's older sister and it was great spending time with her, my Uncle Jack, their daughter, Carol and her daughter, Sadie and her boyfriend, Kyle. We had cake and opened gifts and went out for lunch and had a great time. We need to do it more often! Such a nice day!

Bovina Bicentennial

Unfortunately because of Covid, Bovina had to postpone it's Bicentennial celebration for a couple years. Finally, the party got to happen! Lovely day and lovely parade. So much fun and so many nice things happening for the party and for the town in general. We love it here and Happy Bicentennial Bovina!

Margaritas and the Pool

For being just a little bit hotter and more humid this summer - it has been the loveliest summers ever. Not enough rain but such a gorgeous summer. Making it better are Tim's margaritas and spending more time in the pool! Heaven!

New Friends and Neighbors

Tim has a friend named Liz that he has worked with for years. They were talking on the phone one day and she told him that she was weekending in the Catskills. He asked where? and she told him - Bovina. He got excited and said - we live in Bovina. He asked her where she was staying and she gave him our street address - Tim goes we live on that street - turns out she is living at a house just next door to us. We had a good laugh and then invited her over to the house for drinks. They were so close they could walk to the house. Very Kismet - y. We had a lovely evening - Liz, her boyfriend, Richard and her sister, Irma. We can't wait to see them again soon.

Visit with JP

One of my oldest and dearest friends, John Courtney Pollard, came up for a visit. He and I have known each other since I was 18 and we were living in San Antonio, Texas. We have so much history together and it is great having him here and listening to all his great theatre stories.

Happy 85th Birthday Mom

Today would have been my mother's 85th birthday. I wake up and she is always my first thought. I miss her everyday. Hope you are having a great birthday celebrating with Dad, Chris, Tigger, Calvin, Bisquit, Sam, Tiffany and Rupert. Took an oleander bush to your headstone to remind you of Texas. Love you.
