30 years ago – June 1990
/
Thirty years ago – June was a busy month. I had rejoined the work force part time and my daughter was adjusting to day care very well. The high with her in June 1990 was her enjoyment of a small swimming pool. The first time was a little too cool for her, but she still liked being outdoors and in the water. The next time was warmer and even better.
The low with her was a trip to the hospital early one morning when she had croup. I held her in the vapor tent, and she got better…enough that they didn’t have to medicate her. There were evidently other children with the same problem that night. We were all very hungry for breakfast when we go home.
I picked 7 pounds of strawberries at a farm that is now a housing development. It only lasted a couple more years after 1990.
We had a chipmunk that came up to our deck. My mother-in-law put out seed for it. The baby and the cat were intrigued by the rodent’s antics.
We were on the wait-list for a senior living facility for my mother-in-law…hoping that she would get in before I went back to work full-time and she would be alone in the house too much of the time.
We were primed for a bit of travel in early July….a weekend away for a road trip.
Unique activities for yesterday:
More pictures from Texas. Since I had yard pictures from 2 of my 3 sisters, I asked the other sister for a picture and she sent more than one: sunflower, lantana, hibiscus….and a bunny!
Then she realized that there was more she wanted to share: lavender hibiscus, blue salvia, dusty miller, and red yucca.
Her yard probably has less grass as the years go by! She has quite a riot of color.
