    Blossom had a little bull calf. Helen’s classmate Jodi LaViolette died in a car accident. Carole Planert also died, of a heart attack. We just never know when we’re going to die. Jodi died July 19.

    Today was really warm. Had to go to renew my driver’s license. Jena and Becky stayed over gain tonight. Keith’s last night on 10-6. He doesn’t like that shift much at all. TodayI was so very tired, can’t figure out why.

In some ways I wish I could keep em little forever, but that’s not what the Lord wants. Helen doesn’t have dance classes until later this summer. She sure loves those. Hard to…

    Today was cooler again. Nice for working. Seems like the only thing you hear lately is the election coming up in November. I think this will be a real important one. Our tomatoes still aren’t ripe like everyone else seems to have ripe ones. Corn is later this year too. I think it’s almost ready…
