That's too bad. Steve should be setting a good example for Brandon on what being a man is all about. I do understand because we do have the same problem with Damon somewhat. He DOES work but seems to take off a lot because of "sickness" and such. Right now he doesn't have much to do with Dean......it's actually his Papa and Uncles that he enjoys being around the most. Dean cries almost every day to go with his Papa!! It's sad that it's not his Daddy that he cries for. I do understand about their being certain traits that go with being an alcholic......even if Damon was to give up his binge drinking things would still not be perfect in his marriage. As for Dae Lynn.....I'm not sure what she's thinking as far as Damon goes. I'm hoping that she's giving this separation time so she can figure things out.

Janet, I never did thank you for your text on Mother's Day!! I meant to respond or call but my Mom was here so long and I was so tired when she left. I also had a niece that texted me and another niece that called.......I didn't know that I was so special to them!! I have spent some time with them on the phone lately!

Nothing much going on here......I'm trying to get my flower beds all taken care of. I lost so many hostas last year and this year so I'm trying to get those all cleaned up and taken care of. I took a shovel and completely worked one up and turned the soil.....I thought that I'd be sore today but it's not too bad. I hoping today to get something planted in it.....then I just have one more flower bed to take care of. After that I want to pick up some rocks and use them to make a border around one or two of the beds. We'll see how far I get before it gets terribly hot.

I'm also wanting to make a water fountain out of an old bathtub. I need to go and see what we have in the junk yard.......we have our own just out from the house where Baker's have "stored" so many things that they haven't wanted. It's mostly cars and old farm equipment but a few other things are there too so I need to go and see if I can find an old bathtub. I think it would be cute with some gold fish and a little lilly pad in it with an old garden watering can pouring water in it. We'll see what I can come up with and IF I can get it done!!! Of course, I have to figure out too if Dean will stay OUT of it too!!!

School's almost out here. Graduation was on Sunday......Glen had a niece that graduated but we didn't go......I forgot that Feyn's on the school board and had to pass out diplomas. This week is the last week of school.......then Dae Lynn and Karlie will be home. I'm not too sure about that!!!
