Life...One Day @ a Time...

Sittin' on the porch, enjoying the sunshine! Ellie Rose, 1 year old She's gonna be our wild child i'm afraid. In the last few days she's: -drank vinegar, and liked it, that somebody left in a cup, don't ask.. - took a shaver and swiped it at her hair and took a chunk of hair off the front... -has no fear of our steep front yard and lane and will wander down the "mountainside", once she gets rolling, watch out!

Whew...where does the time go? It's almost the end of April and school's coming to a fast end! We'll be happy for that. Even tho' its been a good year, the warm weather always gets the kids restless and harder to get out the door in the mornings, esp. with a four-wheeler sittin' by the front door , ready to ride! Yes, we splurged and bought a used one from Jevon, its faded and old but its a FOUR WHEELER! Now choring it such a pleasure, you know our lane is so long......... We teased Cody if he'd walk any slower he'd fall over as he ambled up the lane, to and from feeding animals. Now that spring is finally here and it's time to think gardening, i'm itching to get started on fixing up our greenhouse that the neighbors had, and did'nt want anymore. (it caved in due to snow) It'll take some fixing up , the pipes bent, so Norv will have to take a torch to it. ...And with our deer problem, we'll have to fence our garden. I want to cover it...

...its another day,not much changes,BUT its my BIRTHDAY and I'm going to enjoy my day off...from working at the store,from cleaning my house,from cooking meals,my work will be there tomorrow! My sweet sis-in-law, Judy, planned a shopping day for Mom-in-law, Shilah and April And I,so we hit Goodwill and about 3 other thrift stores and of course STARBUCKS on the way home! ..And to top it off ,Norv brought a Cheesecake home from our NEW Safeway, absolutely delicious! So now I am loaded with sugar from all that chocolate and I am wide awake! I should go do laundry... We hauled home our neighbors fallen-over- in -the -wind greenhouse,( its HUGE!) And hopefully with a torch and some man power we can straighten out the bent metal poles and get it set up soon! Never in all my born days did I think I'd get a greenhouse! I was reminded today AGAIN of what a blessing it is to have family and friends,so many wished me a good B-day on FB,it was fun ! I get my messages on my phone and it bee...

What an absolutely beautiful day...we don't have church tonite , so we are enjoying a lazy day at home after our hectic last two weeks of working at re-arranging the store again!!! I think we're done expanding, now we just have to fill our empty spaces! Norv has had some late hours there ,building dividing walls for our packaging and storage room,and we had to have the floor in the new part stained AFTER a good scrubbing. And a wall had to be painted, one more to go and then we're done! Let the summer rush begin! We want to get started working outside and get my garden ready to plant! My fingers are itching to get some new flower beds in and a fench put up around my garden area..Chile style (very rustic). Norv got two little garden sheds at the store to sell, are they ever cute! They are meant to look like outhouses,complete with a moon in door(which I would have skipped) ..only I'd like em bigger ,big enough to put a table in and a potting bench and all my garden lo...
