JUNE NEWS

June 14, 2018  was our 65 years of marriage.

We fell in love 69 years ago and lived

through a  time of 2 years when my husband 

was in the service of our country. No dear John letters

did I send I waited for him to come home to me.

We have enjoyed traveling  in most of the states, 

London, and Europe my favorite  country is Switzerland.

We spent several February at Daytona Beach, Florida and

our children would join us for a week too.

Now we grow a big garden and walk each day and enjoy giving

produce to our family and friends,

So while my husband works in garden I sew and quilt 

things for the family and friends.
