June 2023 Update

Thank you for praying about the insurance issue with my PT.  God graciously provided that their services would be “in network” so they are much more affordable for me.  I’m down to once a week with them now, so that’s progress.

 

On May 20, my barbershop chorus, The Chorus of the Genesee, had our annual show.  It was our first one after a few years break due to an interfering virus and other issues, and it was a lot of fun.  We shared the stage with a local women’s chorus and several quartets, and I think it went quite well.

On Memorial Day weekend, we had get-togethers with the local families every day.  It was special because Amelia and her boyfriend, Ben, came up from Kentucky to join us.  OK, that was really the motivation behind all the get-togethers, to be able to spend the maximum amount of time with them.

 

Those of you in our area may have experienced this too, but we had several days with the smell of smoke in the air and poor air quality due to the Canadian wildfires.  It didn’t make anybody sick or anything—it was just a bit of inconvenience for a couple of days in that we didn’t want to be outside if we didn’t have to be.

That's not clouds, that's smoke

On June 10, my granddaughters, Ansa and Alma, had their dance recitals.  They were totally adorable, and it was a lot of fun to watch them enjoy dancing.

 

I mentioned back in March that our cat, Princess Lolly, died.  My son, Levi, was probably the closest to Lolly, since she slept in his room.  Well, on June 14, he and I went to pick up a kitten for him, that he has named Lord Licorice (do you follow the theme here?).  He is really cute and playful, and we’re all enjoying him.

 

This past weekend, our local families went camping at Hamlin Beach State Park.  Because of the issues I’m still dealing with, I went home at night, but I spent all day with them, and we all had fun playing on the beach, riding bikes, playing at playgrounds, eating delicious camping food, and spending time outdoors and with family.  Overall, we had great weather, and a fantastic time.

 

Thanks for reading, and I’ll talk to you next month!
