Crazy! That's what it has been like here for the past three weeks. Doctor appointments for my Mom each week. Oh, well, it just keeps me busy and out of trouble. As for Mom, she feels okay but the melanoma is in two more lymph nodes and she will have them removed on June 28.

This past Sunday for Sunday School I taught Brooklynn about Jacob and Esau. Well, when we were done talking about them I asked her questions about what we learned. I asked her what the twins were named and she said they were Jacob and Seesaw. Is that cute, or what?

On Sunday there were male and female goldfinches in my garden. I was very glad to see them. Then, today I was looking into my garden and lo and behold there was a hummingbird. Boy, did I do a happy dance. Even came inside and continued it. Little hummingbird, please come back soon to see me!

Well, the yard got graded today and the fence posts are being put in place. Yeah, can't wait until it is done and can get to work on my garden.

Also went to see the two little guys who were my Two on

Tuesday. They were as excited to see me as I was to see them. The youngest is really talking alot. My what a difference six weeks makes. They and their siblings wanted to come down to my house. I told them soon and then there would be a big yard for them to play in.

Well, I was thinking that if you don't have plans for your vacation yet this year--why not visit the Gulf coast. Just think if thousands of us would take our vacations there how we would help out the small businesses. There are still beaches with white sand down there. Consider it.

Hannah came to PA for a visit this weekend. It's lots of fun when she comes home. We always find something to do.

On Saturday we went to Fry Village for their strawberry festival. Hannah bid on an afghan and won it. Way to go, Hannah.

After we left there we went and got our free ice cream from Friendly's. Mm-m good! Love that it was free. Then we had lunch at Five Guys. French fries made in peanut oil and fresh burgers. Mm-m good, again. Stopped at Penney's to see if we could find any bargains. None found. But, stopped at the Christmas Tree Shop and there, as always, we found our bargains.

Sunday: brought my granddaughter over for church. It's always great to see her and it's a blessing to teach her about Jesus and to teach her Bible verses.

Spent today doing wash, cleaning up, and reading my book in between the work. The weather today here in central PA was just beautiful!

I just read my daughter's blog today and she was talking about collections. She has collected many different things over the years even though she only mentions her most recent collection. Hannah, remember "Star Wars". Oh, and "Pirates". Oh, and all your book series. Oh, and your album collection. My how we love to collect things.

Of course, I wonder where she would get that idea from in the first place. Nevermind that I have been collecting elephants since I was 16 years old. I have a rather large collection now. I also have a collection of "Sleeping Beauty" memorabila. That doesn't include my rather large collection of books--both fiction and nonfiction. (It's like a small library in our TV room.) So, as you can see I'm sure I had no influence on her and her collections.

Yesterday we went to the Hershey Gardens. Only crazy people would walk through a garden in 90 plus degree weather. Of course, this is not the first time we have done that. I remember well the gardens in San Antonio and Atlanta. Why do we always pick the hottest day to see the flowers. It's like they also are screaming out for water.

Went shoe shopping this evening. Guess you could say I also have a collection of shoes. Since I wear a size 5, I buy shoes when I find them. You get them while you can because when you need them you can't find them.

So, what is your collection and have you ever gone to a gardens on the hottest day you can?
