Birthdays

Well today is Timothy's birthday. It seems like it was only yesterday when I was holding him and watching him run around the house chasing his sisters. Now he has a son he is doing the same with. I so do not feel old enough to have all this going on. Its great though. I can't believe both my grand babies are going to be 1 soon as well. Where has the time gone? It goes so fast. I was hoping that it wouldn't go as fast with the grand kids but I knew it would anyway. I wish I could see them more but it just doesn't seem to happen. Maybe when I retire and hopefully they won't be too mad at me, lol.
It is such a nice day today. The sun is out and it isn't to hot yet. In MO where Tim is they have been having nasty wet weather and where Mel is they have a tornado watch. Its crazy for sure.
Well I should sign off for now. I guess this is a short one but thanks for stopping by. I love you guys and Timothy----Happy Birthday! I hope it was a great day!

Happy Easter

Well today is Easter. It is 4 months into the year already. Where has the time gone. There is so much yet so little going on.
Lately I have been reflecting on things. I guess because it is spring and a time of rebirth.
This is not where I thought I would be at this time in my life. Not even close. I know we all go in different directions at different times in our lives but this is just not even what I imagined. I never thought that I would be so far from my family and people that I love. Well every family scatters in some way so that is not any different than anyone else I guess, lol.
I can't believe my two grand kids are almost a year old. Where has the year gone? Time sure has flown but I am not sure what has been accomplished. I am still working on the Monopoly board and wondering how long it will take me to get done. Of course I have to do more than what I am doing per sitting to get anywhere, lol. I have done a couple of quickie projects but they don't count. I am also working on straightening up my quilting stuff. I want to work on another quilt too. Lately though I have been working later and not even able to get to the gym which I am not liking but this week I am going to just do it period. I need to get there.
On Friday we had to work on the Mexican Elder in the front yard. A bad windstorm broke a branch off again and so we had to fix it. I did not realize just how allergic to it I am. I was miserable for two days. It just kicked my butt. I won't work on that tree again someone else can, LOL. Even now thinking about it makes me sneeze.
I was thinking earlier too, this is the first year in 14 years that we haven't done Easter Brunch. Kind of sucks. So basically this is like every other Sunday. And off to work tomorrow. Oh well. Guess that is about it for now. As you can see I lead such an exciting life. Well Thanks for stopping by and love you guys.
