Last week Mike and Steve came to help empty to attic and put all those boxes in my storage shed. It was a beautiful day for it and it went fast. Steve handed the boxes down, Paul and I handed them through the bedroom window to Mike and he rolled them to the shed on the dolly. (At one point Paul got completely out of breath and had to sit down. Scared me so bad! I didn't let him do anything else. Dont know what I'd do without my brothers. So Paul's cardio routine check up was the Monday after and he told Dr. Gupta about it. Wasn't unduly concerned; gave him some medicine to take so his heart would pump more blood or something. Watch and see, may have to do a cath later.)
Resting... (Grass won't grow in half the back yard and this is part of it. Rocks and sand comprise most of this hilltop. There is grass in the front yard, but that's about it. Rest is moss, sand.) Tyler was here to help, too. He watched cartoons for a while, ate his corn dog lunch and came outside with Granddaddy and Uncles Steve and Paul.
He's such a sweet boy. Morgan enrolled him in pre-k this week. Can't believe he'll be 5 in July!
In deep thought... Dontcha love the shark jacket?
Two weeks ago I helped Charlotte at her mother (Earline Barnes Whitfield) 90th birthday party at Harmony Methodist Church, by making tons of photos. I've given them to her on thumb drive for her to choose what she wants. I got from just shy of 700 to just a little over 500 in the editing. Charlotte did such a good job with the decorations and displays.
Quilts made by Miss Earline.
Two of Charlotte's grandsons with Great Aunt Louise Barnes Cox and Great Grandmother Earline Barnes Whitfield. Sam and Seth I think.
Another grandson (Andrew) with roses from Hilda Barnes Grisham another sister who lives in Texas.

Aunt Ginny's forsythia and spirea in her front yard. This is the end of the second week after Dr Kitchens said she may get to come home. As Tommy said, that's what she wants. We can't keep her safe every minute, and she wants to be home.
Nancy Reagan's funeral yesterday...

Ron Reagan and sister Nancy Davis at right of casket. I don't know how he could hear the service yesterday and still be an atheist, but he was very dignified. Nancy planned every detail of her service.
