Summers Coming

This week was spent in pulling the tulips. People come in hoards to get the bulbs, which would be thrown away if they didn't . We get first choice at them though. I will share when I get home. The Notre Dame Convent gets alot, and Florence City takes a truck load. People driving by stop and get some also. It is good PR for the church.

This next week is McLanes last week. They will leave on Friday morning. I will really miss them. They have been so much fun. The Averetts are a lot of fun also. They are from Salt Lake.

Wednesday we will plant 15,000 plants with the help of some youth groups. Then Thursday we will see what needs to be replanted. Monday we pull the temple flowers. We left them in for Saturday weddings. We actually had one. It was a 56 year old man who got married for the first time.

We have 2 months left. How fast it has gone. So much has gone on while we have been gone. There will be 3 new grandchildren to catch up on spoiling with. Boy are you guys in trouble. We will be very busy with them. Also everyone else will need some grandparent TLC.

I am posting a picture of a sister who was here 6 months ago and came back for a visit. They let her do a cemetary tour with a school group. She is Avard Fairbanks great granddaughter. She is very sweet.

The next picture is Darlene Averett after a few hours of digging up tulips.

Love to everyone.
