Mike's Hard Work Pays Off

Mike started planning this garden last summer. We took down the peach tree that had been here since the dogs were eating the moldy peaches off the ground. Ethel got Aphlotoxin(sp) from eating the moldy peaches and pits. We could have lost her, but thank goodness we caught what she was doing in time.... that was last summer.

Mike dug up the grass and the stump of the tree and got a wrought iron fence and painted it white. He knows how much I have always wanted a white picket fence.

Check out his results.....

Easter Morning Video

Hoppy Easter!!

Our celebration began on Saturday evening when we colored eggs. We had eggs that came from Mamaw and Papaws chickens, and then some we had. There were so many eggs to color, and lots of cups with colors to clean up.







The next morning Wendy woke up and came told me that the bunny didn't leave anything in her room at the foot of her bed. I told her that he must have left it in Holly's room this year since that is where she slept. Sure enough there at the foot of Holly's bed was Wendy's basket filled to the top with all kinds of goodies. Then on the other side of the bed was Holly's basket filled to the top as well. From the entry hall to the bedroom there was a trail of eggs. The Easter Bunny must have dropped them along the way to the baskets.

After we went through the basket we got dressed for Easter Services. Once back home we shared lunch across the street with our dear friends and their family. After a wonderful lunch with good company we hid eggs for Wendy and a couple of others that were there. Wendy was the only little kid, but she didn't care. The older kids actually shared their loot with her afterward. ha

I'm still trying to get photos from Mike's camera; so when I do I will add to either this post or a separate one which ever is easier.

I can't believe it!

Congratulations Lesa!!! You are the winner of the Big Boutique Birthday Bow!!!

Let It Snow!!!

Well, Friday the forecast finally came true! When they said "Blizzard" they meant it by golly.

Friday we woke up and there was snow on the ground, and much more than we have had here all winter. It continued all day. The first video I took it was just getting started. Then Mike got home and we went out and had a snow ball fight; plus walked around in it to see just how deep it got.

My parents took us on vacation to New Mexico when I was Wendy's age and the snow was pretty deep. It went up to my waist and here it went to Wendy's bottom in some of the drifts, and up to her knee in the lower areas.

We think it was an average of 18" here.

Holly, Wendy and I had an adventure yesterday. The girls wanted to see the new animated Disney movie, and when we got to the theater the snow was up pretty high in the parking lot. Not to mention white outs I encountered while driving. Next time there will be NO getting out no matter what the kids want!!!! After all of that the theater manager decided to not open for the day. All of his employees were there, but they kept the doors closed until he made a final decision. So, we headed home stopped by Hastings for a few rentals to satisfy Holly and Wendy and then to the grocery store next door to get some soup fixings.

I was so glad to get back home.

It has about melted off now. Funny how quick that happened.

Enjoy the photos.

One down, how many more to go???

I'm so far behind this month. This is unlike me. I have been thinking of our day, but not going so crazy this month.
We were on Spring Break on our actual LID Anniversary. We actually celebrated at Sandia Peak in New Mexico on the 19th. It was fun riding the Tram up to see some remaining snow at the top. Did I say Snow? It was more like Ice and Slush, but still white and pretty though.
After coming back down we ate at a Mexican Restaurant they had at the bottom. Good food!
We were actually having fun and not allowing ourselves to be gloomy about not having our Mylie yet.

Ultimate Blog Party,

Sorry we have been out on Spring Break, but I wanted to welcome any new friends visiting my site.

I wanted to get a jump on this since next week is Spring Break and no telling what we will be doing.
I love this because I have my youthful figure again!!! HA

A Day at the Park

We decided to take a day of chilling out, and went to a local park. Our area is really good about having parks. They aren't all as fancy as this one but all are nice just the same.
This is the park that has the ducks as Wendy will say. We have had Canadian Geese here all winter, and just lately they are thinning out some. The whole area has had so many this year. There certainly isn't a shortage of Canadian Geese this year just the opposite, and for some reason they were very hard to hunt as well.

One of my favorites to see was the White Swan; there were actually 3 on the lake. Then you have the regular honking geese and the mallards are here in pairs.

Ladybugs are coming out!! We saw one land on a little girl at a birthday party that Wendy attended on Sunday afternoon. Just our luck it didn't land on me or Wendy. But we did see it!

Enjoy the photos.
