Busy month of May

I had a wonderful Mother's day at Beth's house.  The gifts were extraordinary and the food was soooo good.  Chris called and sent his special gift from Amazon.  I am assured that my kids and grandkids will never let me leave the house with my hair standing on end and dirty clothes.  I see it happen quite often and it's assuring to know that it won't be you in your senior years.  I just told Chris maybe I will move to CA. when I get old and he said "you are OLD!...LOL 

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Abbey compliments of Augustana.  (it helps to know people in high places)  It is refreshing to be among all that culture and intelligence.  We sat at a table with 2 lovely ladies who graduated in 1947!   Wow and they were most entertaining and nice.   

My brother's birthday was on the 19th of May and he is 75 years old.   I called to wish him a happy birthday on his cell phone and he was just getting ready to put!!!   Oh well, he should have had it turned off.  Maybe he didn't want to miss any birthday calls. 

I am sorry to say that the ants came back and I quit using the dishwasher for over a week.  Gary was sweet and dried dishes even though he did not believe the ants were in the dishwasher.  The Pest control came one more time and I hope and pray that this is the end of it.   I read that ants will not cross the chalk line so there's chalk everywhere.  Chris wants to know if that's why they always put a chalk line around the dead body!!!   What a quick wit he has!!!!   I love it when we are all together because we really laugh a lot.  

Today was bridge club at my house.   I served queich (sp) with honeydew melon and cantalope.  Village Inn pie...lemon supreme.  After everyone left, I took an hour nap.  I was invited to a jewelry party tonight, but the hostess did not show up...so I was home early.   

Gary took his mother to lunch and to the Dr. to get her Vitamin B12 shot. 

I am looking forward to seeing Max tomorrow and hope he will spend the night.  Sat. is Olivia's dance recital.  

I hope Jane and Maggie are through with their finals.   I forgot to tell them to pull their ears before the exam.  That is what our teacher used to tell us at J.D.   She said it would stimulate your brain. 

Happy Memorial Day to everyone!!!
