Building Progress

Keith worked this week on backfilling around the foundation. He hauled about sixteen loads of pea gravel and leveled it getting the floor ready to pour.

Casey will soon be 10!!

Casey's birthday is the 29th and she will be ten! An important birthday for a girl. So Keith & I got her an American Girl Doll for her birthday. Her name is Emily.

Her party is tomorrow night and Keith has an auction in Edgerton that he listed, so we will be unable to go. We went over tonight to take her gift to her. By the look on her face I think she liked it. Isn't Casey beautiful??

Money the Bunny

I went over to Kurt's tonight just for a visit. Got to meet the new member of their family, their first pet, Money (the bunny.) He is a Steel Dutch and so soft and cute. Thought you might like to see a picture of it. Kurt built it a nice little hutch and the kids really seem excited about their pet bunny.

40th Class Reunion

We attended my 40th Class Reunion Saturday night. I was the head of it this year as I have been for six of our eight reunions. I stood up front for the business meeting and told them that I was done and that I wouldn't sit down until someone else volunteered to be the head of it for the next one. It took some time, but finally they must have got tired of looking at me as Ron Stoner agreed to be the head of it and Jestine Schmidt agreed to create the booklets like I have done for each one. We had a great time and saw some of my classmates I haven't seen in ten or fifteen years!! Twenty five classmates out of seventy attended and with spouses we had forty six. Not too bad a turnout.

I helped serve the sherbet as people just were setting and waiting to be served even though I announced they should help themselves. When I started taking the sherbet around, one of my classmates said "Now that takes planning this event a little far - the dessert matches your outfit!" We had rainbow sherbet and by golly, it did match my outfit. Was not planned as I just ordered sherbet - any kind. I am attaching a picture Keith took of me serving dessert. Oh, also first picture on the blog of my new haircut & color.

The following day, Sunday, we met at a classmates lake cottage for a cookout. It was a fun weekend.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!

I spent my birthday holiday with my best friend, Vicki, and we went to Sauder's Village. I will post some pictures.

Things have been hectic here at the Whitman's. Kurt, Kraig, Casey, Denny, Tom & Keith worked Monday cleaning out the garage and moving the hot tub. I think only two more loads and we will be done (stackable washer & dryer and waterbed). The closing should be before the week is out! We also sold a building lot and that closing will be soon too.

Today Keith & I worked outdoors. I finally got the plants that Kevin & Sarah got me for Mother's Day and my birthday planted. They also got me two hanging baskets. I planted the clematis out by out trumpet vine on a trellis yesterday and planted the daylilies and hostas today. It is not quite done, need to add some more stones and a good rain will wash the dirt down through the stones. I will post some pictures. I think I am ready for a nap, so more later.

Oh, I got my hair cut short again and highlighted. Pictures will follow sometime.
