HAPPY MAY DAY:

ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES IS MAY DAY- WHETHER IT WAS IN SCHOOL MAKING A FLOWER BASKET FOR MY MOM OR WITH MOM AT HOME TAKING PAPER AND MAKING A LITTLE CARRIER WITH THE PASTE ELMER'S GLUE AND PICKING VIOLETS AND DANDLE LIONS TO FILL THEM FOR OUR NEIGHBORS. I WOULD HANG THEM ON THE DOOR KNOBS AND RING THE BELL AND RUN BACK HOME TO GET THE NEXT ONE.

THEY WERE VERY SIMPLE AND EVEN MAYBE CHILDISH, BUT WE HAD A LOT OF FUN SPENDING TIME TOGETHER AND MAKING OTHERS SMILE.

WE WERE CAMPING ONE YEAR AND WE COULDN'T FIND A BOTTLE OF GLUE IN THE TRAILER SO MOM MADE PASTE OUT OF FLOUR AND SALT. IT WORKED AND WE TOOK THE MAY BASKETS AND HUNG THEM ON THE DOORS OF THE OTHER CAMPERS.

FRIDAY EVENING NEWS:

STEVE GOT A QUICK SHOWER/ SPONGE BATH- CAN'T GET HIS ARM WET- SO WE DID THE BEST WE COULD AND GOT HIS JAMMIES CHANGED. HE IS STARTING TO HURT TONIGHT AND TOOK SOME IBUPROFEN.
HE WAS BORED EARLIER AND I TOOK HIM FOR A RIDE AROUND TOWN AND THEN WE CAME HOME AND OUR NEIGHBORS WERE OUT SO WE TALKED TO THEM.
TOMORROW IS CITY WIDE YARD SALES AND I AM NOT GOING BUT WANTED TO GET TO THE BANK MONEY MACHINE BEFORE THE MADNESS TOMORROW. I AM GOING TO PICK UP MY TOMATO PLANTS AND THE SEEDS FOR SWEET CORN AND GREEN BEANS IN THE MORNING. MAYBE SOME GREEN ONIONS.
I DIDN'T SLEEP LAST NIGHT- HE COULDN'T GET COMFORTABLE ANYWHERE AND I STAYED UP SO I COULD HEAR HIM- HE CAN'T GET OUT OF THE RECLINER ON HIS OWN- TOOK A COUPLE OF SHORT NAPS TODAY- BUT I REALLY NEED TO SLEEP TONIGHT SO CRAIG IS GOING TO SLEEP IN THE LIVING ROOM SO HE CAN HEAR HIM IF HE NEEDS HELP.
