It has been a long time since I have written, but have been thinking about you all and reminiscing about our gathering for Cecilia's birthday and what a very special time that was. Thank you again for that gift of hospitality and friendship. I have also be thinking about you ,Cecilia, and your upcoming wedding and wondering how you are holding up. I am sorry Bill and I cannot make it, I tried to swing it but other commitments got in the way. I enjoyed reading Kayla and Iana's website and am really sorry to miss the food among other things, like seeing the happy couple and my new friends! I also finally finished the photo album from the birthday weekend (could 4 months really have past so quickly?), so Cecilia should be getting that in the mail anyday. You know you all are quite intimidating with your art talents, so remember it is the thought and not the quality that counts. Also, I was not sure about RSVPing for the wedding. I did not RSVP as we are not able to come, did I do that right, it did not look like it was for regrets.
We are having a very wet late spring early summer here, a bit depressing, but the yard and garden look great with all the water. I am still trying to figure out what I can grow here. so many of my favorite plants are Zone 5 and it is only a zone 4 up here in South Dakota. The good news is the soil is wonderful, unlike the hard packed clay i tried to mend every spring in KC.
Kristina (my youngest) graduated from college this spring and is working at a camp on flathead lake in MT this summer before she goes to graduate school in PA this fall. the rest of us in SD have no news to report. Take care dear friends, Kathy
