A taste of spring

Remember my donkey friends?

My kids ask to go see them from time to time.  Today they had a couple of friends with them that had not met the donkeys and they wanted to show them off...

We gathered up the produce in the fridge for a treat for them....

I think they remembered us. 

 A mini horse was in the same area today. 

She might need her thyroid checked...

she liked corn better than broccoli

she really really liked corn

I took some kid friend pics just for something to do on a beautiful day

it was fun riding around with the teens

Why do beautiful days fly by?

I'll be wearing a gold swimsuit, how bout you?

We had friends come visit this weekend.  We had a good time but they had some work to do while they were here.
They were here cleaning out his mother's house here that she hasn't lived in the house in for10 plus years but wouldn't get rid of it...
They found some interesting things.
There were enough women's shoes for 3 people.  Shoes from every era.  Hats of every size and shape and more random items than you can imagine.  She seemed to be a mom who saved everything. 
I would have loved to gone through every bit of the junk! 
He brougth me a full set of  very old Samsonite luggage.  It contained lots of treasures, too.
We found an envelope with various papers from the 50's including a love letter from his dad to his mom that was precious.  What a sweet thing! 
The next suitcase was full of lingerie and 2 swimsuits that are probably from the 50's...

This may be my swimsuit this summer.  Let me know if you want the green one...

Let's catch up

Well, the picture a day for Feb. didn't last long.  Since I was sick the first week the only pictures were of the dogs...Maybe I'll try that again sometime...

but I have taken a few pictures that last couple of days....

Katie had her last basketball game Pom performance of the year...

Last night the Pom group did dinner and then came back to our house for dessert

We needed to try the chocolate fountain before they got home to make sure it was ok...

I never did get a good picture of all the cute pom girls, they were too busy eating chocolate to want to do pic's

As we were leaving for church this morning it started to snow.  And snow and snow and snow....

a fun weekend but it sure went fast!!!

Can you hear me now?

I tried blogging from the iPhone app again... I accidentally deleted my last post.  Still can't post but delete works well. 

Our big news of late is that Mike got hearing aids on Friday!

He has had a hearing loss since childhood.  He once told me he threw away his hearing aids in middle school.  This week he said he lost them in a football game...(I really think it was the first one) and he has compensated all these years without them...

He reluctantly agreed to get them again, finally!

He can hear the t.v. at a normal volume, he can hear us when we talk to him, he can even hear us when we are in the next room not talking to him...

He's going to have some adjusting to do...right now he thinks everything is too loud.  I've been sick and sniffing a lot and I am "being very loud" and today he told me the little dog eating was like a light bulb shattering on the floor...he is really put out that he can hear birds outside and traffic now.

But, his biggest complaint is that his clothes rustle.  I told him they always have and I've tried to get him to switch to light starch for that very reason...

I am so hoping he adjusts quickly.

And to add the pictures again since I've deleted the first ones...

My view today

since I didn't remember to take the picture till bedtime my view was a snuggly dog.

Words

Hands

I found Kellie napping and even then her phone was in her hand

A stranger

Since I've stayed home all day, I chose a picture from a stranger's food blog I spent some time on today... Check it out here - http://chaosinthekitchen.com/.    Had to cheat on this one...
