Krista, Nathan holding Ethan, Krista's mother, Joanne Ruth next to Krista, Krista's brother Kent & wife Amanda, Krista's dad, Joe Ruth is behind Kent. This was taken at Nathan & Krista's home.

Here is the Yoder side. Nathan, Krista & Ethan; Deb, Erik holding Mindy, Aubree in front; Julie, Sam and me.

We took a second picture because Aubree wasn't looking. Krista, Deb, and Amanda had this time of refrehments on May 9 and 6 P. M. in honor of mothers.

Erik, Deb and the girls came over last Saturday. Erik was measuring my roof. He will be putting a new roof on my house this summer. The girls love to be read to and I love doing it.

Something in the book really made Aubree laugh. Maybe it was the animal sounds- I'm not sure.

Mother's Day Flowers

My wisteria in full bloom. After having waited for it to bloom about ten years I was thinking of cutting it down, but instead pruned it good. It has been blooming more every year.

Close up of the wisteria.

My dogwood that was supposed to be pink- it's white, but I like it anyway.

My little azalea that Judy sent me several years ago. It outdoes itself with blooms every year.

My white lilac bush from behind the house. I have two white ones.

The deep purple lilac that was moved from Stone Valley to many residences along the way.

Lily of the valley- these came from Grandma and were moved from house to house.

These flowers are from Toot. I think she made a trip to Long's.

These were delivered by FedEx this morning. A gift from Judy.

These are flowers that John brought over yesterday. The lilies are so fragrant. There are also three yellow roses mixed in. Very beautiful. John also sat down and talked a while. I liked the visit so much.

Here are my special guests who were with me at my Mother/Daughter brunch at church. It was a very nice time. In the back: Rita, Julie, Cherie, Toot, with me in the front.
