I apologize for my absence lately. I have no excuses — just haven’t had anything to say really.

Ken’s been down with his first ever attack of diverticulitis. He’s been quite uncomfortable with it, but hopefully he’ll be feeling better soon. At least he had this long weekend off from work and I’ve made sure he hasn’t done too much all weekend.

Yesterday he had a lot of distractions in the form of races on TV so that was good. I drove up to Greenville while he was watching the Indy 500 to see my friend Lee and on the way home, stopped at the gym to work out. He sat up until whenever the NASCAR race finished last night — something he can’t do when he has to go to work the next day.

Today I think we’re going to go see the new Indiana Jones movie. We’ve enjoyed all the others although it seems like the boys went with us to see those. It won’t be the same without the enthusiasm of blood thirsty young teenaged boys to pump up the exciting spots.

Eddie called me yesterday while I was at Lee’s. He was taking Randy for a walk — or Randy was taking him for a walk — that wasn’t 100% clear. He said the weather up there was finally nice enough for an outing. He’s going on what he called mids next week — I think that means he works a second shift schedule. Yvonne is fine and Randy was chattering up a storm.

I caught my first hummingbird of the year on disc yesterday — a little female who was quite curious about the camera since she came close to the window to check it out. The males are proving to be rather shy about having their picture taken. Last year the birds seemed oblivious to my snapping photos left and right.  As you can see, I have a new feeder — the old one developed a leak and had to be tossed.  That was a bummer as I liked the hot air balloon. This one is OK.

Well, you’re now officially caught up on all that’s going on with us. See- told you there wasn’t much to talk about!

Love to all,

Margaret
