scoop from the stapes....

Thought I'd share what's going on here,

April already...

Springtime already...

I'm already...

We haven't had a snow storm for a while, only in the mountains. 

It rained last night....

Today the clouds gathered and it rained again complete with thunder, I love Colorado clouds...

It was 55 degrees and supposed to reach 70 later in the week. 

Art is putting new cupboards in the kitchen. 

They are looking very nice...

I don't know why he waited so long:)

I'm knitting washcloths for Michele to take to the village...

Gas is $3.58 a gallon, here....

It is over four dollars in Chicago,and we are going to Chicago on May 9th.

We are going to fly out, and drive back...

I took Bentley for a walk today.

He loves to walk...

He nearly hung himself when he saw a rabbit, I nearly killed myself trying to hold onto him:)

Sage came to visit for a few days...

He wanted to take Bentley home, I told him he would have to stand in line

because everyone loves the dog,

Jon says NO ONE can have him.

I took Sage home today,

Never let a 16 year old boy drive your stick shift...

Something about a clutch makes them want to speed

even with grandma in the car.

The trees are starting to bloom,they smell sweet and fragrant....


Erik and Joe have birthday on the 30th. 
John Mark, my grandson, is going to be 13 years old next week, hard to believe he is that age. 
We will have birthday party for him when in Chicago.




Joel,his 5 year old brother, called and told me he has an Easter basket, his first:) 
He will get to color eggs this year.
They are going back to Vanuatu on May 22nd. 


I am reading The Story of Queen Mary...
She is Queen Elizabeth's Grandmother.
Its an old book from 1950's 
The thing I liked best about Queen Mary was she was a good grandmother. 
She spent every Monday afternoon with Queen Elizabeth and her sister.


Art cut the Aspen tree on the deck down this weekend. He cut himself with the saws all and had to have 14 stitches.He was thankful not to have cut tendons. 


Baby Danielle's nose stints are working, she had a good week.


I baked banana bread with chocolate chips this week.


It's Easter week...
How thankful I am that Jesus died and rose again. 
Happy Easter to All...
