Start getting ready for a Happy birthday coming soon! Jim, Claudia, I know you're enjoying being close to your grandkids. That makes life worth living! Darla and her family have moved to Ohio (in July) for her husband's job. It is hard on us all but it was a big advancement for Gary. We miss the gr. kids immensely and Darla misses being here. So, I emphasize, enjoy now!

See you're having another one of those aging processes happening soon--a birthday. Enjoy it and share with family and friends...……..Joan

Hi Deb, Have a happy day on your Birthday and many more!

Happy birthday a few days early. It's been busy around here lately. Dtr. and family moved a few states away (for the first time), a neighbor broke her neck in a fall in her own house and when she called us to come get her from the hosp. (thought she was just shook up) a couple of hrs. after we arrived, we all learned she was being transferred to Tulsa hosp. for more tests. She asked us to look in on her house dog which we did as well as taking her outside to a walk, etc. The next day when we took the dog out, we noticed she had blood on her tail (and other places). Called our neighbor for further advice, got the dog ready to go to vet, then learned the dog wouldn't let us lift her by the ribs and she bit my husb. Had to call the neighbor back to get further instructions on handling the dog, got her loaded and another friend took the dog to vet. My husb. saw our Dr.(he'd had a tetanus shot in May and dog was up to date with shots) but husb. still got a small infection which I noticed the next morn. and cleaned the wound again and doctored it and now it's okay. Neighbor will be home sometime this wk. and so will dog. Wow.
Anyway, keep up your momentum with the house projects and take pride in what you're doing! Joan

May you be blest with the happiest of birthday's yet!!!!!

Hi Charlotte; have a happy birthday today and many more. Let me hear from you. I spent a summer (1967) living with some folks in Salina. They were friends of the college I graduated from in Iowa. I worked in a restaurant that was at the intersection of two major hiways there. I was a greeter, (cashier and bookkeeper at times).

Happy Birthday, Johnnie, and many more to come! Joan

Have a good one today, Bruce!

Happy Birthday Linda!
Our kids just moved from Owasso but my sister still lives near Claremore!

Hi Donnie, I've been thinking of all the friends that I've been keeping in my prayers and you are one of them. How are you doing? How are the treatments coming along? Are you able to travel?
Two of my sisters and I just got back from Minn. where I was born and my folks moved here from, and we attended a cousin's wedding. It was hot and humid there but not as much as here. More people have air conditioning there now.
Most of the people (and our family) are gone that knew and grew up with my parents but we make the yearly trek to keep the memory and German traditions alive. We attended the local little country church they took Catechism in I was Christened into; believe it or not new people have bought farms and those people are attending that little church. It was full from the front to the back pews. New things are happening there! I knew you'd be interested in hearing this.

Prayers are answered all the time! Let me hear from you. Joan
