What is so Rare as a Day in June?

Here we are in the month of June! No blogs in May, unusual for me, although it was a very eventful month! Has anyone ever been sick from a tick bite? Let me tell you, it was no fun! Body aches, fatigue and general malaise. I finally went to the doctor, who gave me meds that REALLY made me sick. Couldn't eat or drink, became dehydrated and was sent to hospital for IV fluids. Lost 11 pounds in a week!

All is well now, although I was feeling sorry for myself when Mother's Day came and I missed my kids. Still under the weather that day, moping around, I didn't feel like going to church. The phone rang, and our son, Trevor, asked me if Jamie was here yet. What? From Houston? It was true! Not only did he cheer my Mother's Day, but he took us home with him for a week!

What fun to get to see our grandchildren at their gymnastic practice! We also got to go to church with them, eat out a lot and generally enjoy ourselves. How would we get home? Jamie would have to work! Well, he had planned everything out. We would meet son Mark halfway to his house in Austin. He would drive us to Waco where son Trevor would take us home to Oklahoma! What great kids we have!

There was a little layover in Waco waiting for Trev, so Mark drove us around the Magnolia Silos and gardens of Chip and Joanna Gaines. When Trevor arrived, we all had a delightful lunch at beautiful Collins Street Bakery, home of the famous pecan pies. The white, colonial-style structure with walls of windows was built a few years ago closer to the beaten path than the original bakery location.

What a treat to have Trevor here overnight when we got home. He hadn't seen our new environs since we moved to the country, and he thoroughly enjoyed himself, and we him! Reminiscing, seeing our chickens and goats, eating mom's cooking, and laughing over family videos all added up to precious moments.

Our next big adventure is a planned reunion with all our children and as many grands and great-grands who can come for our 60th wedding anniversary later this month! Can't wait!
