Odds and Ends

My dear sisters have run off to be apprentices to a midwife
for a week so I am to do my duty and "blog". Ha!
Sarah and Naomi do soooo much around here, cooking,
cleaning, sewing, washing, brushing, weeding, and
the millions of others things it takes to run a household
so I am missing them muchos!!! (and their blogging abilities)

Abigail Drost's Baby Shower was last evening:

Abigail was Sarah and Naomi's former piano teacher and is

due August 15, 2009!!!!


Look at those eyes!

Saturday evening we were off to a concert

in Salem!

The Keeling Family sang and WOW was their harmony good!


No, my life does not consist of
texting, people just think it does.

The Astilbe is beautiful this year. Mum wanted some pictures before they faded.



Then last but certainly NOT least. Jared's next project arrived last night. A wrecked Mercedes Benz. (1994?)
