I just wanted to say thank you for your diligence in visiting with Dad and keeping us posted on how he is doing. I really miss being there and seeing him like I did now over a year ago.
I am so glad that Bethany is better and that Nichole and the baby are well.
Good also to see pictures of Jon and Terri visiting as well as Betsy and Bill. Betsy sure looks a lot like grandma!

On the homefront, David is again taking a paycut thanks to the governor of California. That will be 20% in less than 6 months! Luckily when he leaves office 15% will come back to us. In the mean time, I am going to school online for medical billing but won't get any pay from that for 17 months!
We are also working on doing paperwork to adopt Isaiah - the first foster baby we had nearly 12 years ago. We got to visit with him nearly 2 weeks ago and it went well. We are hoping to be able to spend more time with him as our paperwork progesses. He is still a sweet and happy child. He is nearly as tall as I am and wears 1 size shoe smaller than I do! He is definately going to be a tall one.
It has gotten very hot here and have lost 7 tomato plants and 3 strawberry plants and all my bean plants but the zuchinni is doing well as are my beef tomatoes that are in those topsy turvy containers that you might have seen on t.v. We will do more gardening in the fall. Our pink grapefruit tree is doing good too. It has lots of buds on it now.
