So this weekend we had memorial services for our tribal chairman and it went as well as could be expected. We did the work that we needed to do -in addition to drumming and singing, we fed over 250 people a huge dinner of salmon, ham, smoked fish, rice, green beans, fresh berries, bread, homemade pies, cakes, lemonade, soda, and coffee. I was impressed with how David Barnett conducted himself - It's amazing that he MC'd his fathers memorial services. How he kept his composure - he drew strength from his dad - it was evident.

So it seems like summer is FINALLY here! YAY! looking forward to sitting on the deck playing scrabble with Curt - LOL - I think I'll let him win next time. :) Also looking forward to bike rides and long walks in the fresh air and golfing with Curt.

We've had a great time with 'the kids' Brandon, Emily, Dylan & Abby. They are leaving tomorrow for 12 days to visit family in Idaho. We will miss them but we have really enjoyed having them close by. Yesterday Emily and I took Dylan to the park - he loved it - he swang, climbed up the big toy and went down a huge slide and ran in the grass through the sprinklers. It's sooooo much fun being a grandma!
