more changes

Watching conference today and tomarrow, always so wonderful!
Change is in the air ...

Mike has closed on a new home, just miles from their
home now. It's so lovely !  The extra space will
be wonderful, but, the most wonderful thing
is the view from every window.
On a nice day Mt. Pilchuck
is right in front of them.



I pictured myself living here through the beautiful summer
but, alas I don't think that is going
to happen!

When I got home the other night Mike said "Oh,
my sister called and she's going to be coming
in three weeks to help out."
I have to admit I cried. It was just such a shock. We knew
she might come . My manly man also had mixed
feelings. She's a wonderful woman, kind,
happy and she loves the children
and they love her.
I'm a believer in timing, so I'm sure the time is right!
I know we'll still be involved in their lives.
Anyway like I said "change"

Next week is Spring Break

I've hired a mother's helper for the week so we can do lots
of good things. When I asked the girls what they
wanted to do, it was interesting what they wanted.
Maddy was Ikea, which we already did.
Abbi wanted to have a picnic
and plant a mommy garden.
We'll probley go see "Hop", It
looks really cute.


I'm also going to think of some kind of service they
can do....any ideas?
Packing??

Well, they say change is good and I'm sure it will be.

 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
