The black berries are going to be amazing this year if all the blossoms are any indication.. !!  Watching the thimbleberries they will be ready in another couple of weeks.. School here is starting to wind down..Mostly field trips very little school.  Am not sure what will be going on with the kids this summer..Not even sure if they are going to stay.. Hope Marys' trip to the Dr. goes well..!!!  Hope your car gets the all clear as well..!!  Hope you have a lovely day.. Loads of Love and Hugs..XX

Hi Patricia..It did rain over night, but was just lovely this morning for my walk..Took a slightly different trail and took the littlest guy with me..He is such a little chatterbox when the others are not around so do like to take him out on his own..  The kids did not want to go to art class until the place was almost closed for the day..Go figure so we will book in for next Sunday for a date..!!! They really do have a good time..  It is also better to go there than bringing it home..They stay much more focused..  I know my kids were always read to here..!!!!  My oldest was a super reader ..!!  The middle guy struggled, but we read together until he was 11 or 12 ..!!!!  There was a really great series of books called "Choose your own adventure" you read therough the book and can choose different paths and sometimes you succeed in the quest and some times you fail..Think we read every one of them..!! Plus I do remember reading the Hobbit to him..  It was just the struggle he had ..  Randy and Alisha read all the time so around here things are differnet for the kids..

Think we will be taking the 2 little ones with us..The one boy will head over to live close to his grandma..They have not fully decided but are working towards that..  Hope Mary does well with the eye Dr.  and the injections are helping her..!!  Hope you have a lovely day Loads of Love and Hugs..XXXXX

Hi Patricia..This silly cold seems to want to hold on to everyone..!!  I am still coughing and it has almost been 2 weeks..Eryn is feeling better, but still a little tired and coughing..Really stuffy..!  I do get loads in but it is more from practice than anything else.. I have always had to keep organised so just keep on doing that..  Lunches are like an assembly line same with meds and breakfast..So once you get it organised it just keeps on going..!!  Was hoping to take the kids to an are class tomorrow morning..Not sure what they will do..   Games seem to draw them in..  .Do not have many, but they seem to love them..Also have got books for all the kids that they see as a novilty than something normal..So have the little guy reading with me every day..!!  He asked today..LOL..  I finally asked if anyone had read to him before and he said the teacher at school..  So we read whatever he wants..!!  We had a really good soaking last night..The first on in about a month..!!!  Did not walk this morning. I let the kids sleep in..Of course they all got up early..!!  Go figure..!!  but dragged out breakfast until almost lunch..  !!!!  Heading tomorrow as long as the weather holds ..  Gr
