A Little of This . . . A Little of That . . .

March is almost over and we'll be on to April in just a few days. My husband Kenny started working 6 hour days yesterday and he's very happy about it. He's out at the golf course as I'm writing this. I finally got a big "to do" off my list last week. Our daughter-in-law, Seni, has a sister named Violet that we've gotten to know a little bit over the years and she had a beautiful little girl named Audrey in November. I wanted to make her something with Audrey's name on it and was able to get a bib made before I started having all my computer issues. But I'm back on track now and finally finished the little bibs I made for Audrey and got them sent off. Here's a picture of the 5 of them

I think they turned out pretty cute.

I have a few new pictures to show you. Chloe came up on Sunday so I got a couple new pictures of her and Benji was over for his "Wednesday's with Grammy" so I got some new ones of him also.

Spring is offically here but I'm a little uneasy about getting started on planting some new flowers. We've had some mornings that we wake up and there is frost everywhere. I go to the nursery's and get excited about the possibilities of planting those beautiful flowers, I'm not ready to plunk my money down yet. I'm retired now you know!! How you spend your money seems a little bit more important, well, I guess I should clarify that and say if I really, really want something . . . I'm gonna get it!

All our grandson's will be on spring break this next week, so maybe we'll have a couple of adventures coming up, although rain is in the forecast. Matt will be having his 11th birthday soon and Little League will be starting for Matt, Joe and Zach that same week. It gets pretty busy getting to all those games and watching all of them play. Joe and Matt have both been practicing pitching on their teams, so that always makes me nervous to watch. Our son Erik was a pitcher, I speak from experience!!

I've read quite a few books on my Kindle lately. I am really enjoying it. The only gripe I have about it is that you can't turn the books back in to get credit like I have always done at our local used book store. I'm hoping that Amazon figures out a way to do this, but realistically I bought it knowing that not being able to do anything with the books was one of it's features, why would Amazon throw that money away? So right now while I can afford the books I will continue to enjoy them using my Kindle. I will update by list and let you know which books I recommend.

A little update on our Can We Do It ~ Yes We Can!!! group site. We've all lost a little bit of weight and are hoping for more but what makes me happy about our group is that we are supportive to each other, exercise has become a much more important part of our daily lives, as has drinking water, we are aware of portion sizes and try to eat the right amount (which doesn't always happen, but we are aware!) and if we have an idea or suggestion that might help 1 or more of us we throw it out on our site. In short, we are making a difference in our health, even if being more aware is the difference.

My thought to leave you with this time is: Stop and smell the roses, they are starting to bloom right now and put on your sunscreen and go out and sit in the sun and soak up some nice warm vitamin D in it's purest form - SUNSHINE!

Until next time . . .
