Usually Oklahoma gets about 4 inches of rain in June.    BUT did it all have to come tooncet.    (Sound it out.)   It means at once. 

That is what happened.   My poor Vita is traumatized by all the rain and thunder.   Fortunately it started at about noon so she had her morning potty break before things got bad.   She is really irritated with me.  I know she thinks I control these things.

I went to the funeral of a dear friend, Curtis Dyer, today.   It was a lovely mass and remembrance.  My dear friend, Robbi, his wife will be so lonely.    I know how that is and she had no children to lift her up, so I must be sure to be in touch with her regularly for the next weeks.    We have some mutual friends who all love our Robbi so this will not be difficult.    Please pray for her and her Curtis.

Still staying safe, with masks and as much distancing as one can do at a funeral.

Haiku
The rain matched my mood
Cleansing but dampening joy
I need the sunshine.

Just hangin' out.    Aren't we all?    Sure hope this thing passes quickly.    I don't have much hope though.   Whenever I DO go to a store a good 50% of the people, sometimes including the server people, are not wearing masks.     6 feet distance is PRETTY well honored, especially when things are marked.

I was home most of the day, did talk to a friend and my Bart always calls me.    I had to run to Walgreens for a couple of things.   You know that my Vita resents it when I leave her alone.     She is a good little doggie companion.

A haiku for you   ( I will try\ to do this as long as things are so DULL around here.)

Love comes in sizes
It has to, to fit all needs
Open your hearts to love.

Well. This was a nice day. The weather was warm but not oppressive. Miss you all.   Vita and I had a couple of really nice walks. I sometimes think I am not active enough for her:) After all, she is only about 2, a teenager in dog years if that.

I took care of a couple of projects today with the Quilt Guild and talked to a couple of people I had missed.

I also read a few chapters of the book I am into – Irish Whiskey by Greeley. It is good, but I think I liked his earlier ones better. If you read them, what do you think?

Tomorrow another quiet day, though I may have to run an errand or two.

Hope you are all well.
I love you all


I believe in joy
I believe in loving you
You are the reason

It was a nice day.      I had an appointment with Dr. Toy, my chiropractor today.   He says I am doing quite well, and I can attest to that.   I have far less aches and pains these days.

I did a bit of shopping on my way home.     Vita was not happy with me.   She does not approve of my leaving her at any time:)     We had three nice walks today.     The last one was pretty hot but I wore a shirt and hat to protect my skin which is reacting to the sun since I had the chemo.    Darn.

I have started reading again.     I used to read all the time, but when Dick got sick, he stopped reading and I did too.   I don't know why.    But I am reading again and this will keep my hours full.   I need stimulation.

Hope you are all well.

I love you all \
