Janell- the resident boy





















With Caleb gone, Janell has had to do some of the boy jobs. Today was the yearly cleaning of the pond/fountain. She had a little bit too much fun trying to catch the gold fish and spraying with the power sprayer. The gold fish were "feeder fish" several years ago- a neighbor girl asked if she could put them in our pond. I said they would probably die in the winter and I won't feed them and now they are about 8 inches long and eating who-knows-what but they are healthy and alive.

8 month old twin grandbabies

I haven't seen my grand baby twin girls (Alice is with Frances and Claire is with me) for about a month. We took a hike to the mailboxes today. The front packs zip together so one person can take both babies if they have to. They are almost 8 months old now

Old Boyfriend

We went to church in North Carolina and Kay was in his High Priest group meeting and heard someone refer to Brother Galati. It peaked his interest and he asked someone if his first name was Rick. It was. After the meeting he went up and introduced himself and asked if he remembered Janae Clark. Rick did. Kay took me into the room and asked me if I knew anyone in the room, I said "no" and he took me up to Rick and said "do you know this guy?" I said "no" Rick started talking and telling me things about me and my family. I heard Rick but didn't see him. Things happen in 30 years. Rick is my ex boyfriend from NJ I dated just before I met and married Kay. We talked for about an hour and had a great time. That was funky.

Early Mothers Day gifts from Caleb

Mothers day gifts from Korea!


Surprise for me! I received a package from Korea!! My son remembered me on Mothers Day. I was so excited and opened it early. In it was a green traditional tea set.... and a pair of Nike Air high top Sneakers. No note, just addressed to little old me.





Wow, I will be so cool wearing my new men's size 11 Nike Air High Top Sneakers!
Janell wants to borrow them. We have to put a pair of socks in the toe and they are perfect for any wardrobe. Maybe we can both wear them at the same time. Thank you Caleb, how thoughtful!
