Thanks Janet. Rita, It's a good thing you have a WV geedsquad! Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Well Daddy went to the Dr's. yesterday, They seen some spots on his ribs and hips. So they are giving him different medicine to take and start a drip shot that only last for 15 Min's. at a time every month this will build up his bones. And still take the shot in the stomach, and then we will see how all this does and if he needs chemo it could be 2 yrs. from now before he would start it. Daddy said the Dr. didn't seem to be worried about it to much. Thank God

I can't play the disc on my comp. Can't play the ones Addy gave me of their trip either. I will have to take my comp. out to Trish and have her find the problem. She told me once that I may be deleting cookies that I actually need. I have no idea. I haven't had a chance to do anything other than look at them. Blain and I had to go to Charlottesville for his Dr. appt. today and I have the grandbabies this week. I may get to Trish's this weekend. They were perfect though. I also got pictures on discs from Monica, Emily, Paul's Dad, and Marcia...I will take them to my tech support and she will figure it all out. Right, Trish? I just don't have enough hours in the day. How did I ever work 13-14 hours a day, 6-7days a week? I must not have done anything at home!!! Oh, I forgot, I was never home!!!

Steve, I know you weren't asking me, but I saw the pictures and they were awesome. I can get them onto a disk for Addy if mom needs help. You did a really good job of capturing all the right moments.

Rita, have you had a chance to check out the pics? Can you get them onto a disc for Addy, or do I need to make you one and send it to you?

I am loving spring too! We went to Zac's parents this weekend and they just moved to a bigger house with some land to it. We had a fire friday night and the frogs were SO loud! I loved it! I just wish everything would hurry up and bloom. I got a cala lilly at Lowe's the other day and it had a new flower on it when we got back this evening. Zac got a flower box and is determined to grow some green onions in it, lol! Unfortunately our balcony doesn't get any sun, so we've been moving the plants into the bedroom floor where a little bit of sun comes in for a couple of hours during day. I wish I had a yard to put some flowers in! I was thinking about maybe planting a honeysuckle or maybe a dogwood tree somewhere outside of the apartment building we live in. What do you think Mommy, Rita and Janet? Think it would last?

No it's been so long since Ive seen any of you. And we can not get a garden out for the rain , it dries up long enough for it to rain again. We try to get a lot out before good friday. Not this year, It's raining hard right now.When you need the rain there is none.

Janet~Who asked You??? Janis~Do you recognize anyone in the picture other than Mommy and Daddy? When do you guys start planting? Do you raise a garden? Blain almost worked my behind off today! Oh, That's right, I don't have one since I lost 24 lbs. We planted peas, red and white onions, lettuce, a few potatoes. (Blain just wanted to see if we would have new potatoes by the 4th of July) We split and stacked a load of wood, and pressure washed my lawn funiture and the front porch, That was AFTER the kids went home and the dogs shut up! Paul and Addy should be home tonight and they will come and get the dogs tomorrow. Then it will be back to normal! Oh, we don't do normal at this house. Well, I hear the couch callin' my name.

Yes vonda< I am a spring chicken ha ha that feels like I am 100 yrs. old. I am setting on the deck with my little ponds water fountain a going . So peaceful out there. Got my coffee in hand . close to 80 here.

Mom- That was a nice little Mayberry like picture you painted us there, but that sure wasn't what it was like this morning at your house. LOL Addy's dogs howling and mom yellin' out the back door- "those stupid dogs"- Dad laughin' cause mom is yelling. Olivia screaming because she is tired and afraid of the dog and Kaiden screaming because he wants on the tractor. YEAH, VERY PEACEFUL. The kids and the dogs playing? Where are you??? LOL I guess wishful thinking never hurt anyone!!!! Love you, Janet

Hey, Rita and Trish sure wish I could join you all on the front porch, for sweet tea and coffee, sure sounds good.you are so right the simple thing are the best in life , I think we loose sight of it to much any more.we would all be better off , back to the basics don't you think? with a few teche's thrown in . Trish you would have to have them RIGHT!!!!!!!LOL.Its pretty here today too in the 70's so its a good day. This is the day that the Lord has made let us REJOICE and be glad.

Me too Rita! The frogs were singing so loud. I turned on the porch light and saw a frog "walking" to the pond. The dogs are laying in the yard right in the sun and they absolutely love the kids getting out and throwing the ball or just walking around in the yard. Me and Emma took the red wagon to the box culbert down the road and where the interstate runs the water off it runs through it to the creek on our land. We saw tiny little fishies swimming by. It was dry enought that we could get right down next to the water and Emma loved that until Jacob started his dirt bike. She is scared to death of it. Yesterday when we were in the yard working, she was drawing on the pavement with sidewalk chalk and as soon as her hand got dirty she was looking to me for a wipe. Then back to drawing. If any of you have seen Monk, you will know what I mean. It was so funny. She can't stand for anything to be dirty. She wouldn't even use the stroller yesterday because she said it was "durty". I looked and it had three little clods of dirt in the seat that had fallen off of stuff she had put in it. After I removed them, she was fine! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I know I plan on it even if it is just sitting and listening to the frogs.
ttyl,
Trish

Monica~You said it. It was 70 here today, 80 there??? I cleaned at Mommy's today. Daddy went out "in the holler" and dug 4 gallon of ramps. He gave me a mess. He brought them back, all the dirt off of them, all stacked neatly in the bucket, all turned the same way....He would die if he saw Blain and I dig 'em. I brought them home with all intentions of waiting until tomorrow to cook them, but after smelling them all the way home, I couldn't wait. I cooked some for my supper. I cooked them dinner today...fried chicken, scalloped potatoes (daddy requested them) and a skillet of biscuits... for dessert, strawberries and ice cream. I ran over to Trish's to take her a plate and when I got back they were both in their favorite places, settling down for an afternoon nap. Mommy made a crock pot of Apple Butter and we canned it before I left. Trish, you were right, it is better hot out of the pot. Mommy couldn't find her cinnamon candy to put in it, and so we had to go on the hunt of it. Daddy said, "I just saw it the other day, I know you didn't eat all of it". Found it tucked away in a cabinet. When I left, he was sortin' flower seeds. He gave me enough to plant 20 acres. I think I'm going to plant them in the fence rows across the fields and then we won't have to mow them, just watch the flowers grow. I sat on the porch tonight and listened to the frogs and the deer snortin' behind the pine trees. I just love spring!! Yard work, cleaning vehicles, planting the garden, weiner roast on Sat. nights, the smell of new mown grass, neighbors stopping out front to chat, kids and dogs playing outside...It really is the simple things for me.

What a beautiful day the Lord has made!!!!!
