Whoa! It's been a week since I post anything. Happy birthdays to Bill, Alex and Hans, and my Mom, and soon to Julie and Phil. And Flag Day is behind us, so never mind about that.

I am having hours of clarity, and moments of ambition. I paid bills, and mailed them.

Max, Alex and I just came in from an impromptou picnic. We spread a sheet across the lawn and ate dozens of juicy red plums. We stretched our legs, and tossed tart plum pits in to the hedge, and we enjoyed simple pleasures.

Bill and Alison sent pictures of their bitty kittys, Gracie and George. They look incredibly cute and fun. Mom has been sending tempting pictures from their Oregon garden and seashore; where berries are plentiful and ripening, and flowers are all around. Ruth and Corm are working as hard as ever on their new home. They will move in this summer. I need to call Grandma Nancy, and tell her that we are well...I wish we lived a whole lot closer to one another. I'd like to drop by and visit.
