Thursday evening

As the week of TAKS winds down, swine flu winds up. It is amazing to me how the TV people have created a "pandemic" of this. I am concerned about Opie, Omie, and Oma. I hope they are choosing to stay in. This weekend we are going to the ranch, so David should be posting pictures on his blog after we get back.
I got an email this morning from Lori and sent posted our wedding on UTube. Here is the linkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX106qAKes0.
I hope you get a chuckle!

Sunday and 6 more Mondays!

It is Sunday morning and I finally have time to post. David is fighting the wind and playing disc golf. It is very windy today. Last Sunday we went to Omie and Opie's. it was a wonderful day. I love my Grandparents very much. I can not believe that they are 90. I am very fortunate. JD was in a great mood and kept up laughing. He was a very good sport and hunted Easter eggs. I guess it did not hurt that some of the eggs have money in them!

The week was a blur. I had about 28 ARDs, but it would soon be over. 6 MORE Mondays. TAKS is in two weeks. Then I have 1 more week of ARDs. I have lots to wrap up. I love the end of the year. I get to clean up the folders and shred. I think shredding is therapeutic! I take care of lots of my stress.

The pool pump broke this week. $200 later and it is fixed. The pump was 1 year and 2 days old. The company that I brought it from said that it had been leaking for 3 months so would not warranty it. This is the latest that I have EVER not been swimming. All of the kids, including mine have asked when they can come swimming. I sat on the side of my pool and put my feet in but it was too cold to get in. Today it is too windy. I hope this week it was finally get warm enough to go swimming.

Easter weekend

Sorry about the delay in posting. Very busy week. Walked out side on Tuesday to take out the trash and notice that the pool was BLACK! The oak trees had dumped their pollen in the pool and it mold spread their mold all over the pool. David and worked on the pool two evenings to get it back to the sparkle we like. It is way too cold to swim in yet. Especially today! It is 56 degrees and overcast. It is threatening to be bad weather this evening. I hope not! Yesterday Debbie and Mike had tornadoes right over their house in Tennessee but no damage.
Easter is tomorrow in Fredericksburg. I cant wait to see Opie. Have not seen him since he started chemo. Sometimes you just need to "touch" someone to make sure they are really OK. He keeps saying that he is OK but I need to see. I have eggs to hid for JD and Joseph. Money, money, money will be hidden. I will post pictures of the "fools" running around for eggs.

Went to the play "The Hand that Cradles the Rock" in Lockhart! It was funny. I really like Billy Alexander. He is such a good actor! I really enjoy the plays at Lockhart. Afterwards went out in the back yard, laid on a blanket and looked at the stars with my husband. Even saw a shooting star! Perfect ending to a great date!

A beautiful Spring morning

Sitting around with my husband, serfing TV and Facebook! Drinking coffee, had a great breakfast and laughing at Riley and Marielle's kids! Watched movies last evening with the best man on the planet! Start of a great weekend. David is looking at pictures that he took the other evening. This is a picture of the lemon tree in the back yard. It smells soo good! The yard looks good right now. We have had some consistant rain so that helps. I still have things I need to take care of. Along with rain comes weeds. Will treat them tomorrow morning or this evening. David is going to mow and help me clean the pool. Still too cool to swim but soon....very soon....

6 more days till a day off!

I am copying Marlo's facebook status. I AGREE! Why does it get harder the closer to summer? I can not wait until it is summer and it is the daily grind of...get up...put on a bathing suit...make breakfast...put it on a tray...carry it out to the pool....put it on the green table next to the pool..get in the pool...hang on the side of the pool, eat breakfast and tan! That is the ideal summer day!! I think I read 25 books last summer.

An update on YingYang. He is healing nicely! I wish he would gain weight a little faster. His fur is still matted in places. I have not taken him to the vet to get them cut off because Kristen is coming over on Friday to help me. I think it will be less stressful for YingYang if I keep him at home. He is sooo sweet. I left him inside last night. He did just fine. I was more worried about Jack and Daisy not staying inside considering it was raining. They are really not happy about a new cat in the house. They do a lot of staring at YingYang. Daisy, of course, hisses but she hisses at everything. We were outside watching the cats and we saw two of the coolest hummingbird moths flying around the lemon tree. Daisy was sitting under the lemon tree deciding which to catch and eat. See the pictures of the moth. It was so fast. David was having difficulty taking their picture.
