Hello, Everyone,

I haven't had a chance to blog for a couple weeks. It has been really crazy around here with fund-raising activities, grant writing, outside and inside work to be done, company, getting the flu, etc.

Just wanted to let you know Clara is better. Her wound is almost healed. Poor thing. It had to have hurt like crazy. At least the neighbor lady is now keeping her dogs over there on her property and it has been rather peaceful these last two weeks. How long this will last is anybody's guess.

I'm still holding W.I.S.H. groups on Mondays even though the grant funding to pay me has run out. But, I want to help women going through violence and abuse against them and so I will continue to go in on Mondays and hold group sessions on a volunteer basis. It is one of my passions in life!

I had the flu week before last for five days. Had a fever of 104.3 on Tuesday night after Memorial Day. Went to the doctor on Tuesday afternoon and got medicine, but sheesh, I haven't had a fever that high since I was a kid! I didn't get bronchitis or laryngitis, just the flu, fever, and ached all over! Weird. Glad it wasn't the swine flu or something!

The garden is coming along. I tilled it yesterday afer coming back from working a fund-raiser. Have to get the hoe out there today and do a little more. There is a little tomato on the Romas I plant for my father-in-law. He will be glad!

Hubby is off for the summer now, but is considering another class in Kent towards his Masters in Biology. He has until next week to decide.

I'm leaving for Tennessee to visit my sister and family on June 16th. I'll be back on the 20th. I'm driving down and I will enjoy the drive. Very scenic.

Trying to get more book signings but it is getting more difficult as Border's and WaldenBooks has stopped a lot of signings due to the economy and sales are down. Well, gee, if an author sells books when he/she is there, isn't that a good thing? Whatever.

Gotta go for now. Stay safe, and enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather!
Take care and until next time,
My best to you,
Becky :)
