Spring Cleaning

Finally got our spring cleaning done. We did the carpet cleaner to the top of the refrigerator and all the doors and cabinets wiped down. It may be late but it all got done


I LOVE A CLEAN HOUSE!!!!

We were to see the screening of “My Sisters Keeper” but we got there late. So we were told we could see any movie we wanted to for free. We chose “Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian”. It was ok I liked the first one MUCH better.

Trent has gone to talk with the bank people about getting all the loan stuff worked out so we can finally get the the houses we started finished. That will be great!! Our new renters are in Bolling (the giant 6 bed house) they are very nice,very polite kids.




I am not getting better as far as eatting. seems I can't eat anything. Now I can't drink BOOST without it going through me. I bite can mean 10 trips to the bathroom. I cramp and get terrible pains with everything. Even tap water. I bought watercan cause pain. Can you believe it i BOUGHT water payed MONEY for water.



he - he, sorry

we have been watching Lonesome Dove as we are good Texans! This is a great mini series. Highly recomended.




We have had the worst storms around here. Things were getting hit all morning. Sirens. Contsant thunder with windows raaaattttlllleeee. Uncle Larry Twitterd me to blame the comming heat. He said He wished I would keep the heat down there. LoL I said No we live almost next to him now! we're getting these storms.

We gave up and turned on the A/C last night it got up to 85 with rain.

Out to Dinner at PF Changs

Yes, dinner and lots of fun!!
We started our night out there for Missa's 21st Birthday. YUMMY YUMM YUMM food We love that place.



I can't remember now who took this picture Amanda or Missa. But I sure look like I was excited about that head hug! And why don't I look like I have any make up on!!!! nobody invited Casper.

Not much new around here other than a racoon eatting all the bird and chimpmunk seed. I had to actually open the door and when that didn't work yell to get rid of him. Little stinker! Actually BIG stinker.

Fish Fry

Last night we went to the Fish Fry at church last night. It was we have a great group of people. We had lawn chairs and blankets set up all over and some set up inside for those who just didn't want to be outside. The same couple cooks for all our events; they own the restaurant The Starving Artist. It is ALWAYS GOOD.

We also had a great time on Sat. at a gathering where this same couple did the pulled pork and other food for the BBQ. We had so much fun. Tim pulled out a Karaoke machine. We all took a trip back to the 80’s. It was like being at prom again. Tim singing I’m too Sexy, and It’s Raining Men had to be the hit of the night.

spring

Early Spring our back yard full of Daffodils. I wish they could be seen better here they were so pretty.

Up close. I love this old stump. We plan to keep it it adds character.


I hung a Hummimg Bird feeder. It's a Glass hot air balloon. We get a lot of Humming birds and I can see them here from the couch.


View from the couch with both frnch door open. You can see the Humming bird feeder hanging in my Rosemary bush. I love to cook with Rosemary and it smells good just being in the planter. On the right you can see I have planters of Basil,Cilantro, and Jalapenos. Next to them is a bird feeder I put out for the Chipmunks to come and eat I love to watch them they are so cute!



Same shot a closer look



I had a hanging Bell of bird seed. The Squirrels hung on it and knocked it down this is one of my little buddies eating on it.


They are really cute and a lot of fun to watch


I am trying to befriend them, but they aren't having any of it. People have them eating out of their hands. Literally!

Bluebonnets in Kentucky

Yes indeed you are looking at Blubonnets at my "Old Kentucky Home". I bought seeds and put them in the ground a loooong time ago. They did pretty well!






More have open up and these have had more blue on each bloom since I took these. In fact behing along the back fence there are deep orange day lily's blooming. Very pretty.




Ahhhh, yes just a little taste of home. I shall get some Blue Bell and sit outside by my Blubonnets and sing the "Eyes of TEXAS"!

Off to PT and to swim. Check Back I will have more of our yard and spring flowers up tonight!!

The Latest News

Last night we went to a viewing of a very dear man who passed away Tues. This was the father of a friend of ours. I had fallen in love with this sweet sweet man the first time I saw him and told Trent I was adopting him. When I found out he was Rozy’s Dad I laughed and told her I had claimed him for myself. She was kind enough to share. He fell ill and it was hard to watch as he had Pulmonary fibrosis the same disease that took Trent’s dad from us. This is a very, well it’s just awful there are no words.

Today was the service I had to go to Physical therapy but I did go to the church to serve the meal. The family was doing well, and eat well. It was a cold day the high was only 61 and there was light rain off and on. I was sorry for it have been so yucky for them.

This week end should be nice and sunny and in the mid to high 80’s. We are going to have a pool and BBQ party to go to this sounds great I am looking forward to this!


Kevin is working on a few investment projects and is working on finishing up another one of our houses. He is also fixing the floor in a house that the renters just moved out of and we have new renters moving in this weekend.

Melissa is ALWAYS busy. We almost never see her. She works hard and has made great friends. She has a birthday party to go to this weekend.
