Busy

Things have been very busy around here. The kids are busy with school activities almost every night. We have been working outside in the flower beds and getting ready for summer. We also have been painting the living room. Hopefully that will be done at the end of the week. The weather is still a little cool. Not time for bathing suits yet. Also the hotel is getting booked up for the summer season already. It is hard to believe that people will drive to the beach when gas will be $5.00 a gallon by summer. But they will and they can thank our wonderful president for that. What a guy. The other night on world news they should George Bush playing band director with the Navy band and looking happy. While we are all sitting here going broke buying gas and food. It's a shame how he and his republican friends have run this country into the ground. We can only hope that the election will bring a change before he collapses this economy. I'll get off of the soap box now:+)

70

This past weekend we had a birthday party for my dad. He turns 70 on 4/23. Yes 70. We had a good time. Of course we started the party at 5:00pm and had to tell him to get dressed and take off his pajama pants. We started early so all the old folks could get to bed by 9:00pm. And yes they all left and were home by 9:00. It is hard to beleive that he is 70, that means I'll be 50. Time flies when your having a good life.

Back To Normal

My man is home:+) The kids are in school and I'm doing laundry. A typical Monday. The weather is starting to feel like spring. Yesterday we pulled all the weeds and prepared for the annual mulching event. This annual springtime event is the right of passage for spring to many people. We spend all day pulling weeds and turning the ground over. This event also unearths all of the sleeping worms, slugs, ants, and spiders. We cut down all the dead things from last year and prepare for new life. Then most people go spend hundreds of dollars on mulch. WHY?? Because is looks good, or does it have some nutritional value for the earth? Well I do it because it looks good, and we all know that is important. My house needs to look as good outside as in. But hopefully by spreading the mulch I'm helping the Earth in some small way, just like I do on Mondays when the weather is nice by hanging the laundry outside instead of using the dryer.

Fog Delay

Well the first fog delay of the spring season for school occurred this morning. It was a welcome delay for me since Jack is in Myrtle beach golfing I have to get up every morning this week to get the children off to school. But today we got to stay in bed two extra hours:+) Aunt Lisa comes tonight. She is going to be my date for the wrestling fundraiser since my man is on his man vacation. My tan from Aruba is just about gone:+( I hope the weather soon gets sunny and hot here so I can again get a little tan. The weather has been April showers this week. There was a scuffle across the street this week with the Russians. It was among themselves not me. One Russian came home and it appeared he has intoxicated, they were arguing outside then he tripped and fell over the hand rail breaking it. They all moved inside then so I missed the rest of the show. I should have left "The Body" out she would have taken care of them. She is just drying to get one of them. I think it's because she senses they are afraid of her. Oh well they all seem calmed down now. Speaking of "The Body" she is down for her mid-morning nap I hear her snoring.

While in Aruba Jack found a piece of coral that looked like a foot. So some days our entertainment would be to collect "foot coral" that reminded us of our dear friends back home. I hope you enjoy our humor. original foot coral
