week past

Last week we directed the funeral for Lillian Hassler.   Lillian was a great lady with a personality that made everyone she met feel good.   The Church was full.   That's not always the way it is for our elderly citizens, but for Lillian .... a church full of family and friends is just the way it should have been.   I will be one of the many that will miss her.

Saturday was our 4th annual Quail Forever Seedling Tree and Shrub distribution at the farm.   In less than an hour we gave away over 700 bareroot seedlings.    Preparation begins Friday evening with our small volunteer group of conservationist seperating and labeling each of the trees and shrubs.   Oh, we did break out the work session for some fried fish, french fries, slaw, and cheese cake from the annual 4H pie sale.  Interested in volunteering for the next activity?


Sunday.   Easter services and family.    My mom joined us at the farm for a ride in the Polaris Ranger.   She pointed out the dogwood, may apples, and phlox.    For a time she was happy.    But life isn't always that way for those suffering with dementia.    There were moments of frustration, anxiety, and tears.   It hurts me to see my Mother cry
