Starting out

Hi there everyone - from Woods Edge Drive. My son Jil who is in the Philippines has been keeping us aware of his life - thru his daily blog. We don't feel like it's half-way around the world because he's sharing the every day events of his life with us. Now, I'm very new to all this, but if you all have patience, I hope you will see improvement as I continue with sharing our daily news with those who wish to read about it.

Right now Paul is outside tamping (is that the word?) our new patio deck pavers down. It's a cloudy day and yesterday we had a lot of rain. Thus we have MUD. A new lawn should be started on June 1st. It can't come fast enuf! Did we have trouble finding someone to do it at a reasonable price! But we did.

Our friends Marcia and Hal arrived for the wedding of their nephew, Jamie Hawk, last Thursday and we met them at the Bath Country Club for dinner. Jamie's dad, Bob Hawk and Bonnie Hawk, his stepmom, had arranged a dinner with the Luffmans, the Wolfes and us. It was Old Timers' week. Good to see everyone.

Marcia and Hal came to be with us Sunday thru today, and to see our new house. Hard to believe we've only been here for 6 months. We've gotten so much done. We managed to have Shirley and Dave Jessup from Seneca Lake and another couple from Big Flats come for dinner and dessert.

Marcia and Hal left this morning for North Carolina. Hope the weather cooperates for them.
It's been cold but sunny here the past couple of days.

Have patience and know I will put up pictures when I learn how! Yes. I know it's supposed to be easy, but with me, it'll take some time.
