Montana Sky

Hi All,

We arrived in Montana on the 1st of July and have had a wonderful time. I will post a couple of

pictures of the new baby and then more later. Lee and Clint have been busy putting in new windows in the house. They look so nice and let in so much light.

Papa and Kimber are both settling down for a little nap.

Nana and Kimber sharing a little time

Dane helping Clint and Papa put in the down stairs window.

Summer has finally arrived as of last week!!!! Things in the garden are doing great. I'm not bragging but!!!! so far it is the best garden that we have produced. We are already eating squash from the garden and the beans and potatoes have buds and we have a couple of tomatoes starting to ripen.

Last weekend was the Parade and Rodeo at the fairgrounds. The weather was in the
80's and there was a wonderful turn out. The Parade had old cars, floats, horses, both real and the stick kind. The only band in the parade was a hit. Pictures below. Sat. evening we went to the Rodeo with our friends and had a good time.

Today I we are getting packed to go see the new little girl up in Great Falls. Lee's knee is doing real well he is already back on his bike for short rides.

That's about all for now. Have a great 4th of July. Remember the RED,WHITE, and BLUE and those who serve our wonderful country!

New Addition Arrives!!!!!

Hi everyone, I just had to post a picture of our new granddaughter Kimber Lynn Houston born June 22, 2010 in Great Falls, MT to Clint and Tanya Houston. Our little stealth huntress arrived at 6:46AM on Tue. She weighed in at 8lbs 4oz. The picture shows her sleeping, the kids better enjoy the quiet time for now. I am so excited we will be visiting the kids the first of July for a few days and I can hardly wait to hold little Kimber. Thats it for now. Congratulations Clint and Tanya

June 2nd and raining!!!

What is that they say about June showers bring July peppers or something like that! Ya, it is suppose to rain off and on all week, but what the heck we will have lots of water in the ground for summer when it gets here. The garden is benefiting from the rain. I already have peppers set on and a tomatoe plant has the start of a few tomatoes. We just hope we are thru the freezing weather. I will be out putting up the plastic on the tomatoes if we get cold weather. Our tomatoes are bigger this year than ever before at this time of the year.
A few pictures of Lee ape bite on his knee and the color show on his leg. He is doing real good walking about 2/3 of a mile each day and doing therapy all week. He will be glad when he gets the staples out on Friday.
Next week I get to go pick up the travel trailer and drive it home. (Lee can't drive for at least a month.) It will be good experience for me incase I ever have to pull the trailer on our travels. I will keep everyone posted as to the trip home from Redmond. Have a great week.

Lee's Surgery

First: Thank you to all the veterns who gave so much. We thank you everyday for our freedom.
Lee had his knee replaced on Tue and was home on Friday with a with a walker and new knee. He had been doing just wonderful. He starts therapy on Tue and will have it for 1 month. He is already walking without the walker in the house, but uses it outside to take his walks infront of the house. A couple of pictures below of his before surgery and walking at home yesterday. I must say he wasn't smiling as much when he got out of surgery. I stayed with Sam, Shannon and the boys for four days and they took awsome care of Nana!! Sam,Shannon and the boys took the camper on its first trip to the lake to go fishing for the weekend. Clint and Tanya are also up at their cabin this weekend. Time is getting close for the new babies arrival. Less than a month now. Well, that's about all for now. Let Freedom Ring!!!!

Family

Last week I was in Portland to see my folks and my brother and sister both came so we had a small family get together. Dad and mom had Dr. appts and my sister Deb was on vacation and was able to come up for a few days. Mom and dad are doing well. We purchased tomatoes for dad to plant in the garden. I was surprised to see all the flowers I had planted in the planter below the house are still there !!! not bragging mind you.
Lee is suppose to have his knee surgery tomorrow morning, but took a tumble this morning and now has a lump the size of an egg on his elbow. We are waiting to hear
from the Dr. to see if they will still want to do surgery tomorrow. We will keep everyone advised.
I have been having some trouble with the blog lately so don't know if the picture will show up. Take care and I will write more later

How does my garden grow???/ Who knows!

Another sign of spring is the deer, as you can see in the picture below we are getting some spring visitors. Lee has put up the covers on the above ground beds and we are ready to start planting. Here in Prineville we have to get a head start on the garden as seen in the picture below. I hope everything grows!! I planted some bean seeds about 5 days ago and they are already coming up in the house.
Last but not least. Wear Sunscreen!!! The last picture is of the cancer spots on my face after treatment for skin cancer. It is starting to look good now and hopefully in two weeks the red spots and cancer cells will be gone. Wear you hat also.
That's about all for now. Hugs, Sheri href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4nbIY1PfDiv4mjb2ViS-8BLICZ-eV5XEvfKASNj1zq8gymF061PwippLELqG8-Hh_Nzn-WHv4H-CtV5596TEQMRI82ugNDWUR9-wz2oWtgVECBcPk0VWL4wxPVlD7r27LtVr_UPvz7Jko/s1600/IMG_1308.JPG">
