visit to Wis.

We had a week-end visit in Beaver Dam and had fun seeing not only Mary and Phil and Carmen, but Kirstin, Damian, Emma and Tanner as well. Drove through some rain for a short whi;e on the trip down but in general the weather was great. Their gardens are ahead of ours by at least two or three weeks so that was fun to see too. We had a delicious dinner at a fun restaurant one night and great meals at their house as well. The kids have grown a lot since last fall and we look forward to seeing them as well as Josh's and Judah's families later this summer.
We had an evening visit with Anna and her friend Joe on the way down and tht was a treat as well. We are tired after the trip but it was well worth it.

June

It is a bit more like summer though not very warm, but 60's in the daytime. Had an interesting evening. Our retiring minister has written poetry over the years and tonight he did an evening of reading along with some favorite hymns of his sung by a choir member and played by a flutist and some sung by us all. A lot of people came and it was really delightful. He has real talent and this is a part of he life that has not been widely known or shared.
Wag and I have both been having some medical and physical therapy projects but all seems to be going well. Wag is getting a month's worth of sessions with a therapist which is helping his back that has bothered him a bit more of late. I am just doing the exercises prescribed by my last sessions with a therapist and it has been helping me move better. A recent semi-annual physical I had showed everything going well especially for someone my age. Wag is working with some help to get his gardens going. Cheers to all.
