The garden visitor is GONE for good. The 8 cabbage plants have survived the heat for three days, and they may make through this heat with watering 2 xs a day and shaded by my old corn stalks.
Trip to Hot Springs was fun. Met friend, Marie, and ate too much. Went to the Garvin Woodlands Gardens. It was planned and started by a lady then donated to the University Ar. for up keep. We walked for 1.25 hours and only saw a part of the 210 acres. It is beautiful, has a Coipond, many rocky streams with water falls and plans of many kinds. I forgot, hills up and down the path gave us a good workout.
Now, looking forward to a trip to Florida and visit with a nurse I worked with back in the.....some time ago.

Friday; CHANGE- Not going to Branson, (Two of the members had family emergencies) , but I am going to Hot Springs with my friend Dawn. We will visit a friend and tour the gardens. I have heard a lot about it. Can't remember the name. The last trip we planned to do this walk. A sprained knee stopped that trip.
This week was filled with two days at work; Cleaning the weeds from the garden after a couple of rains, they went wild; Sewing on a quilt;and and ---Began to go the gym to work out.
The Bermuda grass had covered everything. While checking the tomatoes, it became evident that a visitor had invaded because a branch was stripped of the leaves. The great horned worm was dinning. A search 4 x's for 15 min. and he evaded my eyes. Tomorrow, he is going to be evicted, permanently. Will set my 8 cabbage plants.
Fill in on the trip to Hot Springs later.

aniv.party
The party was well attended with about 70 people coming to wish the 60 year marriaged couple well.
The cake impressed me. My Aunts grand daughter baked and decorated it. It was very professional. The three layers were stacked apart by a ring of clear plastic which displayed the photos their previous aniv. parties. So.... cool. The daughters and grand daughters prepared all the snacks. These varied from shrimp on cucumber slices lightyly sprinkled with cayenne pepper, to a cream cheese spread covered with a spicy sweet mixture of caramel, chopped pecans and (maybe) tereiyaki sauce. These were only the beginning ,at the end of the table a large display of fruits was beautifully presented. A pink punch and ice cream punch appeared so refreshing and was enjoyed by many on this hot day.
Effie was dressed in a pale green light weight flowing gown and looked beautiful ,while Duane wore a shimmering light gray suit.
I saw many cousins, other aunts and an uncle. A lot remembering and sharing filled the hall. The slide show of the couple's family drew a lot of attention and praise.
