Sorry I haven't posted anything since January. It's been a busy first half of the year in our household. Mom had knee replacement surgery and is doing fine, but its been a couple months of recovery for her to get back to walking like normal again. Wait a minute, did I say normal and Mom in the same sentence? Scratch that. She is now walking with a cane and should be doing the cha cha and the merengue any day now. If you haven't signed up on her dance card you can do so at vetairene@aol.com. But hurry, pretty soon the only slot that will be left will be for the chicken dance.
Special thanks go out to my peeps Lynn Sperry and Carol Walters who went above and beyond the call of duty to help out with Mom when she was bedridden for those first few weeks after surgery. You guys rock!
Devin Hines is spending six months "Down Under" in Aussie territory. According to his mum he seems to be having fun wrestling the crocks and getting jiggy with the jackaroos.
This June saw the high school graduations of Tyler Sperry and Parker King. Which just goes to show you that anything is possible! Really. Anything.
Recent birthdays included Berneta Knight (93), Jerry Dotterwiech (42), Barb Sewell (74), Connie Kekenes (26) Spencer King (28), Chad Sperry (9) and today is Claude Walters' (112) Birthday. Happy Belated Birthday to all. You guys are getting so old! (If you had a birthday between April and today and I forgot it, consider yourself lucky.)
Launie sent me the following pics from Aunt Berneta's birthday bash and I have been telling her that I would post them "soon" for the last month and a half. Sorry Laun....
Note from Launie Boykin:
"Aunt Berneta turned 93 this year and celebrated with a small informal family gathering. She seemed to enjoy the food and cake and was the center of attention for everyone. We love her very much and wish her good health, comfort and happiness."
