Dear Blog Friends,    Welcome to AUGUST (my favorite month)!!!   Hope you enjoy seeing some of the Lilies blooming on the deck this year.... You might ask:  "Why is it my favorite month?"   I'm tell you that on AUGUST 5,  I'll be 84 years young.    Last month wasn't my best month since I fell twice.  My OLD BODY says "Don't do that again!"    I'll try to do better this month!!!    Have a great August!!!

Love to all,

BETSY
