On May 29. 1979. the Mark - i' Important Notice on Water Project d Ay- AMI V A I have gotten my shorts out for the second time this year and I hope it is really' going to take this time. Also, I have managed to get sunburned twice so maybe that means summer is really finally here. It was quite a disappointment to get out all the shorts and other summer goodies and then get up to frost on the squash. Otherwise, my gardening efforts seem off to a good start. Everything but the strawberries have poked up their little heads. I did have a setback with the Jalapeno peppers. Some little nocturnal creature has a taste for the pepper and ate five of the plants right to the ground. The cactus is all in bud and Lewis lawn is just coming along nicely. There, is a strange patch of something in the lawn that 1 can't wait to see what it turns out to be. I told Lewis we would just have to mow around it until my curiosity is satisfied. It looks very much like squash or melon as it has little fat crinkly leaves, but its a mystery how the seeds got in the lawn. We have a new batch of kittens bringing the grand total of cats up to 10. The kittens are cute little balls of white fluff with smokey gray spots. Women's lib really took hold with them, however, and the three little girls have squeezed out the one little boy and he is now existing by my constant poking an eyedropper at him. Our old Siamese, named Chimeeze, has gotten all motherly again and about licked all his fur off and hidden him in the cupboard. She used to be a real terror for stealing kittens and wiping out any dog that dared to come close, but in the last couple of years she sort of retired and left the kitten raising to the real mothers. Otherwise I am just thoroughly enjoying all the activities that go along with the sun, the Stock Show, the Boat Races, lounging around at the reservoir, and hanging wash without fingers freezing to the line. rjCvjW rA not have the pap srttear repeated this year, every three years is adequate. Those women who have received reminders in the mail about the clinic, be sure to make your appointments early. The cancer clinic offers free blood pressure check and breast examination along with the pap smear. Each client who participates in the clinic is examination for them taught to do at home. This is of utmost importance since a high percentage of women find their ow n breast lumps. Remember to make your appointments early.
