May 2026

May was peaceful and calm. Ollie was without all his people so we celebrated his Mayday birthday with him. We met with the Hansen cousins in SLC. Lynn roasted a delicious turkey for Group dinner at the Astles, and we headed to AZ for a Boynton get together which was all about visiting and food. We stayed with the Youngs in Peoria and spent some good time with them, too. Kris and I stayed in on Memorial Day and didn't join the huge gaggle at the cemetery. We celebrated our 54th anniversary with a home-cooked meal and gifted ourselves a re-landscape of our yard. It will be ongoing through the fall.
