Notes from Tina | № 22

I may be taking a 2 month break from posting. Hopefully I/we will be able to get things finished and enjoy some summer fun!

How's everyone doing? 

Welcome to my monthly newsletter where I share a behind the scenes look at whats been happening at MapleStone over the past month, plus articles from around the web and posts you may have missed. So grab a drink, get comfy and enjoy!

Life Lately 


Can you believe we're ½ way through 2025? And my 60th birthday is fast approaching.

June was another busy month for us! I mentioned in last months newsletter that the extra garage being built was supposed to be finished by June 6th. Well that didn't happen, sigh; It was finally finished June 27th. So, we've been playing catch up on the spring to-do list that's usually finished by the end of April to mid-May. Which is why I may be taking a 2 month break (as mentioned above).


The grass will slowly come back from where the electricity was run. 

Sorry for the cars!

My brothers stemcell Transplant went well, but he's lost his hair and now his body has to build-up its white blood cells back.

Our middle grandkid Jacs went home on the 26th. I love it when I get to see him. His momma graduated from Veterinary Technician School the 27th, we're so proud of her!  Congratulations Becca!!!

    Did You Know? | June 14th




    Did you know that June 14th is Flag day, the U.S. Army's 250th birthday, and President Trumps birthday?


    IMPORTANT NOTE: This post DOES NOT contain affiliate links. 
    COPYRIGHT: Here ☆ DISCLAIMER: Here



    U.S. Army celebrates its 250th birthday. Here is an AI generated short history:

    The U.S. Army celebrates its birthday on June 14th to commemorate the day in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army. This makes the Army older than both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. 
    The Army has played a vital role in the nation's development and has responded to both domestic and foreign challenges for 250 years. 


    Army's Motto: "This We'll Defend"


    Flag Day:Although it isn't a Federal Holiday 

    Flag day is to commemorate the adoption of the first official resolution by the Continental Congress for the establishment of the American Flag in 1777.


     


    HAPPY FLAG DAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE U.S. ARMY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT TRUMP!
