....things I have been doing in the last few weeks...



Ran the 5K in this race for the second year in a row. Improved my time over last year !

What am I doing this week.... I'm in search of a new job ... and keeping busy with all the duties as treasurer of our football booster club ... and getting caught up on gardening and yard work!

Ryan continues to have positive physical therapy sessions for his knee. He's well on the way to starting a great football season - spending time weight building and strength training. And he's almost done with his driver training - that green permit is on the horizon.

Pete's on sabbatical - spending time in the TC area fly fishing for the "golden bones" on the shorelines. Unfortunately, since Friday the weather has been a bit chilly so the fish have been in deeper waters, reluctant to move inward to the flats for his fishing pleasure!

Common Grill on Good Friday

Signs of SPRING - - We had a fabulous lunch today at Common Grill in Chelsea. We missed all the aunts and cousins that could not make it - - posting the pics I did take - you'll see Karen, Jan, Rita, Susie, Debi, Sherry and our beautiful Grandma!

Isn't this the best sign of SPRING - pansies outside of one of the downtown shops.
COMMON GRILL - our hangout for the meal - there is no place better than our local fav place to be sitting down for a meal!
Best spot in the house - - - front window - - - - -
Not the best pic - but here it is - Sherry and Debi - 2 sisters, missing our sister Kim who is in Pennsylvania.
(aunt) Jan, Rita (my mom) and (cousin) Susie...

(sister)Debi,(my) Grandma and (aunt)Karen ...
A few great birthday gifts from Debi - - here's the fabulous purse - can't wait to start using it!!

The wrapped box is paper that was handmade by my dear niece, Sasha. Inside the box a few new Cherie Dorie beads....

Nice Carp!
Pretty pansy potted in one of Debi's cast-off cup and saucers..added it to my foyer Easter fluffing... have some other great gifts that came from Kim - blue glass birds (handblown) to photo and add to my blog later this week...plus some ceramic eggs. Once I take down the Easter Fluffing, I'll get back to Spring Fluffing.

Spring Fluffing . . . in the works . . .



My favorite fuzzy chick - there are two of them and behind this one are some seed packets that will be started in small plugs for spring transplanting....Green Envy zinnia and Cosmos - orange!
A few of my favorite things - - good thing the chocolate bunny is not real - - believe me, someone already tested it and found it to be geniune plastic.



Jelly beans in these hurricanes seem to be disappearing - not in to my stomach but those of a certain fisherman...



Can't figure out why these didn't last more than a day from the store - but they did brighten my spirits!

Spring Fluffing at Southern Hospitality

So I'm a blog stalker - love Rhoda's site - she really has fabulous talent and ideas. Love that she likes to buy thrift and paint and repurpose. I do a bit of that - just need to work on doing more. I prefer 'old' over 'new'.

Her link, Southern Hospitality is over on my blog list.
