Its been a busy month of May. At the end of April we helped move my inlaws into a smaller home, one with lawn care and snow removal. Then began the process of sorting out what was left in the old house. My FIL had been in frail health (Alzheimers) and had become too weak to walk and been falling. More than my MIL at 84yo could cope with. So Ken and his sister helped move him into local nursing home. That was late Thursday afternoon and on Friday he suddened passed away. The funeral was on Tuesday, he was 89yo. We all miss him dearly.

Marvin was a gifted storyteller. I remember this story started with "when I was a little boy I lived on a farm and had a dog..." The boys had never seen anyone draw and tell a story like that before.
During this we moved the camper to Nebraska.
Mostly set up and the lilacs are blooming. Sure makes me feel good to smell them.
In all this I still managed a little quilting.
I'll post more when I have some time.
