GREEN VALLEY UPDATE

Hi y'all, and congrats to many of our family who are celebrating birthdays this month.  Brayden's was on 6th, Katelyn's on 10th, Brady on the 12th, Taryn on the 24th and Dylan on the 28th.  Then also extended family  are Dustin on 2nd, uncle Bob on 19th and Lance on 23.  Hope it's a good time for all of you.

Bob was hit harder this time with stroke than last summer, but he's into P.T. now and looks like he's having a bit of lunch break.  Left side of body still compromised and Kate says it's going to be a long road ahead.  Let's keep him in our prayers.

Here's the infamous tree in neighbor Barbara's back yard that is causing lots of contention in neighborhood.  I've been asked to be the arbitrator between Cindy and Barb to resolve the issue since I'm friendly with both of them and they have hated each other every since I've been coming to G.V.  I' not sure if even Henry Kissinger could resolve this issue, but we'll see what happens.

And that reminds me that I wanted to resend this photo to those who didn't get it.  I'm tired to replanting cactus that we've planted since living here.  For some reason they haven't survived while others have.  But three weeks or so ago I rode to Tubac (tourist trap of Mexican products for those who don't want to shop across the border) but of course these are priced for American shoppers.  Jack and Jeri were headed to Mexico to get some meds (still much better prices) and since I hadn't brought my passport they dropped me off in Tubac so I could by this darling red rose and quail to fill in for he missing cacti.  Hopefully they will be easier to maintain.

Met high school friend, Ann, for annual lunch at Sweet Tomatoes after shopping; baking for neighborhood and missionaries;  taking many computer classes;  and walking over 2.5 a day at brisk pace are keeping me busy---------

----along with my sewing and quilting projects.  My neighbors want to be involved and help me find good deals at White Elephant, Good Will and estate sales in area and donate those so they can feel good also about sharing with the needy here.


Congrats to Rebecca for landing the job she was hoping for at Rowan's Washington Elementary School.  With her experience and work ethic she showed at the preschool her boys attended, I know she'll be a great asset to each and every classroom she'll be involved with...and the hours and school schedules will coincide with her boys.  Good Going Rebs!
