skip-bo

I think most families have a "favorite game". Ours would be a cross between
"spoons" and "skip-bo".  We've played skip-bo since the kids were in High School.
Becky and I used to get into some heated games, we just like to razz each other.
I remember once when our youngest son said, "I don't know why you guys even play together and I'm going down stairs til your through!" He didn't understand that it was a destresser for us.
When we had a foreign exchange student from Germany, she'd come in from school and say
to Becky, "What time is it?", "It's skip-bo time".
If my manly man wants to be nice to me , he'll ask if I want to play skip-bo , even though he knows
he has to play til I've won as many as he has!
So, most of the older grandchildren can play(of course its not as relaxing to play with

them). Abbi and I got ALOT of games in while she was home sick for two weeks. It's alot of fun and I think they like it because it's the only time they can razz adults.

So, after a month or more I think I can say were all healthy......and sun and spring are coming
that'll help us all.
Today the sky is blue and the sun has so graciously shone for us. We played outside for 2hrs this morning. I guess it was enough because Conner didn't kick and scream when I brought him in!

Well, hope the sun is shining where ever you are, we all deserve it!

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
