Good Weekend......

We had more rain....but lots of company.....so what more could you ask for in a weekend.

Clint came to Texas for a little business and a little family as well......always fun to have him here. Richard took him off to play golf on Saturday morning....they came home not the happiest with the game.......but HEY!! they had some fun one on one time!! Then later Rick and his family showed up.....we had a house full .........well compared to only the two of us most days....
Sunday was a surprise family gathering at the other house so he spent the day with them......but that was when Shelley and her family stopped by......we exchanged the long over due Christmas presents then settled in for a good visit when the BIG surprise was announced............

We are going to be GREAT Grandparents come December!!!........love it....love it.......baby knitting in our furture!!

Since Easter

I mentioned the new grass.......but didn't share pictures....only have before...

Richard worked at getting things ready and then drilling the holes......I put in the grass until the Sea Bee came by and took pitty......really helped make for a shorter day......The stuff is now turning green so will take a few pictures when the weather co-operates.

Easter came in interesting......woke to rain.......then heard something and found this in the yard....

yes......that would be hail.....only lasted a few minutes but made the ground look white. Then the sun came out and the day was perfect.

The Kid and Alissa......the Sea Bee and Angela came by and we had dinner...

...the Kid grilled..

.....the Sea Bee brough desert.
and after a visit from the Easter Bunny .......

was time to try and fly the teeny tiny kites they got.........



I think this one fell.........and that was sad............or really really funny.........
All in all was a great day!!!.........while we were outside I noticed that Luke's Roses were blooming beautifully too....
....so made a perfect ending.

Good things happen....

The day had started early.....with me thinking I would get some sewing done for a change....after laundry.....picking up....and just general "stuff".....I was heading upstairs to the machine ..........when the Sea Bee called to say "Today is a good day for washing the house".........

so....between the Sea Bee and Retired Army......



I have a cleaner home.


Next challange...............
..........the garden.
It has been 4 or 5 seasons with the same soil....so we have decided that this will be placed in "needed" spots around the yard and will start the season out with new composted soil. Will keep you posted on this....moving out the old soil is harder than it looks.
And while we are at it.....I am raising the ground level another 10 or 12 inches. Have found that raised beds are much easier on the back!!
