Summer Time!

School is out for the summer.
I love not having to use an alarm clock!
Now, if the weather would warm up a bit things would be great!
53 degrees and rain is much more like April then June.

Here are a few picks from the last few weeks.


Amanda's 1st dance recital



Emily's new motorized scooter.



Emily's 12th Birthday party.



Emily and Amanda playing in the yard.

I will have to figure it out and then post more pics.
Enjoy this awesome spring weather!

1st snow fall

YUCK! It's here, will it stay? Who Knows.
It's cold, it's wet and I much prefer sunny and 90 degrees.
Here are a few shots of the the nastiness from this morning.






My new deck was finished just in time.




Bear liked it. After just a few moments of
looking around he was running and jumping
all over the place.

We had a little dog door put in for him today
and I have been trying to get him to use it.
It's not really working. He's not so sure about it.


Emily has her first 6th grade dance today after school
from 2:30 to 5:30. I sure hope she has fun.
I remember them so vividly. I had all my "citizenship"
points so I could go. Man, it was a big deal.


Well, stay dry and stay warm.
Enjoy your Friday.
Peace.

Deck is done!

Here is the new deck. I think it's 16 X16.
Next spring I will have to stain the bottom half.
The rest of it is made of that Trex stuff.
It turned out so great!
The stairs lead right to the pool!

163 days till pool opening!









Peace.

74 degrees and sunny!

Gotta love these bonus days in November.
It's 2:30 and it's 74 degrees.
Gotta enjoy it while we can, 10 day outlook
has "snow showers" in it!

I just got home from my new gym.
I canceled my Lifetime membership
and moved over to Fitness 19 where my
brother Scott is a Personal Trainer and now
he is my personal trainer. He kicked my butt
this morning! I will see him twice a week
and have a go at it myself twice a week.
I have a 20 year class reunion in August
to get ready for! I am sick and tired of being
sick and tired, if you know what I mean!?

Our Deck is almost done, I'll go out and take
some pictures and post them later.

Enjoy your Monday!
Love & Peace.

Out with the old!

We are having a new deck put on the house.

Insurance is paying for a new roof and siding
due to some hail damage last summer.
So, we bit the bullet and decided to take
off the falling down eye soar of a deck
and put up a new one while the house was
being re done.


1/2 of the old deck going to the dump.


Dale taking down the 2nd half of the old one.


And again .


So, now we have to move the dish on to the
brand new roof. Thanks Andy!


The siding goes one next week.

Peace.
