A few weeks ago, on my birthday, Karen, a dear friend send me the most beautiful arrangement of flowers. The flowers lived forever….and when they started drying, I drained the water and now they are living on in the dining room. The roses next to the arrangement are from a special day in Austin with good friends. I have plans for these treasures! Karen, Rosemary, thank you for being such wonderful friends.

I walked four miles this morning. It is a beautiful, hot day today and many people were at the lake exercising. Larry and I have signed up for a quarter marathon in September and we need to get into better shape. {and I am so tired!}

Happy Friday. May your days be filled with many fireworks and lots of flags.

Love you.

Me
