Computers..

Quick post before this computer freezes up again. I am having problems..so if you don't see me around much online, it's because this computer is misbehaving. Would appreciate prayers that is recovers. :-)

God bless!

Loving Spring

We are having a really beautiful Spring.  Lilacs, one of my very favorite flowers are in bloom.  This is one section of our largest lilac bush.

Another pic, a bit closer. I actually took the one below with my phone.

One of our smaller lilac bushes.

Part of our back yard with the rock garden.  I still have lots to do.

One of our Martin bird houses that Dan made a few years ago.  The birds are moving in and setting up housekeeping!

Take care and God bless!

Weekend Festivities

Happy Monday!  We had a fun weekend. Both birthday parties we attended were a lot of fun.


Friday night was Jakes party..celebrating his 14th birthday!

Saturday was Megan's 18th birthday!

My nephew, Derek is home on leave for a couple weeks from the Navy. Sunday he went to church with us and after church we went for dinner at a wonderful Mexican restaurant that is near our church, El Camino Real Sky.

Here a few pics taken inside the restaurant.
This is a mural on one of the walls.

 A couple cool looking benches in foyer.

Friday, Family, Friends, Fun

Happy Friday!  Dan has a strange work schedule and has odd days off for the most part. 
So, I am very happy that he has the next four nights off, yay!

It is going to be a fun and busy time with family and friends this weekend. Tonight we are going to my nephew Jake's birthday party. Tomorrow afternoon we are hosting a family meeting (Dan's side) to plan the family reunion.  Then later after the meeting we have a birthday party at my sister's house for my niece Megan. 

Sunday is church and I am not sure what we are doing after. If the weather cooperates I would like to get some yard work done.  

But, I do believe that rain is predicted for the next few days.

 Rain or shine, it be will filled with family, friends and fun!

God bless and have a wonderful weekend.

 

 

Birthday Pics& A Birdhouse

Sharing some birthday pics..

 Dan's birthday cake YUM

My friend Cindy brought over some delicious cookies from the bakery. Do you think we have enough sweets now? lol

Dan and Kelly!




Here is our new birdhouse that we have hanging in the tree that is in our rock garden.

It is a beautiful Spring day, sunny, temps in the high 60's.  All of the trees and flowers are so pretty.

Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Birthdays...

Today is my hubby Dan's birthday!  I know he probably won't see this, but..
Happy Birthday Honey, I love you! xoxoxo
We didn't have a big celebration since he worked last night and has to work tonight.  I did get him his favorite,  a yummy German chocolate cake from Meijer bakery.  Kelly and I will give him his birthday presents tonight before he goes to work.

Monday night we celebrated my brother Tim's birthday at Texas Roadhouse, it was fun and I took some pics but I haven't uploaded them to the computer yet. We have more birthday parties coming up this weekend.  My nephew Jake is turning 14, his party is Friday night and my niece Megan's party is Saturday, she is turning 18.

The weather is beautiful, sunny and temps near 70.  Our Spring has been gorgeous this year! My lilac bushes are just about in bloom! Yay! Haven't taken pics yet but here is a pic from last year. I love Lilacs, they are one of my favorite flowers.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful wednesday!
Be blessed~hugs

Hidden Lake Gardens

Hope everyone is having a happy weekend. Take care!

Sleepy Time

I was going to say happy Friday, but it's nearly Saturday now! I am tired but wanted to make a short post before going to bed.

I am feeling pretty good, this cold is on it's way out. Yay!  Yesterday I did make it to lunch with my Mom, sister and sister in law.  We had a nice time and and the food was good.  Today Dan and I went to Cabela's and then we went for a drive through Hidden Lake Gardens. I took just a couple pics of some spring flowers and flowering trees. I will post them tomorrow or Sunday.



Goodnight, sweet & lovely dreams xoxox

Summer in April

Sunny and temps in the low 80's, that is forecast for today.   I enjoy each season and the changes that each brings. All of our trees are coming back to life and spring flowers are blooming.

If I feel up to it I am meeting my Mom, my sister and my sister in law for lunch  to celebrate  my sister's birthday.  It is a belated birthday  lunch because she was out of town on her actual birthday.  I  feel pretty good this morning so I should be able to make it. We are having lunch at Mongolian Barbecue.

Thought I would share one of the latest pics of my cutie grandsons Colton and Bradeon.  I wish they didn't live so far away. :(

Take care everyone, have a wonderful Thursday.

~hugs~

I

Green Thumb?

I wouldn't say I have a green thumb but this jade plant of ours is doing quite well.  Dan repotted it a few weeks ago and I think it looks really nice in the new pot.  This plant is so big, like a small tree. :-)

My sister gave me this plant I believe about 12 years ago and  I am not sure how long she had the plant before giving it to me.  Feel free to click on it and take a closer look. This is in our dining area and for some reason the walls look blue in the photo, they are actually a light green.

Well, I wasn't going to bring this up because I thought I would feel better by now.  I have a nasty head cold and a bit of a cough.  I was fighting it off early Sunday, but it hit Sunday night.  I have been taking some cold meds, they help some...I guess.  I am praying that is gone by morning and my body is back to normal. Wednesdays are a busy day for me. I have bible study in the morning and then I help with Rainbows at our church in the evening.

~I cry out to the Lord and He heals me. Psalm 30:2~

Be blessed!

Nice Weekend

Happy Monday!   We had a nice weekend.  My son Chris came Saturday evening and stayed till late Sunday afternoon.  Dad and Mom came over for dinner Saturday night. Dan had the night off and he  cooked ribs, chicken and steak on the grill.  We had strawberry shortcake for dessert. Yum!

Then Sunday after church, my brother Tim and his wife Jennifer came over for lunch. I cooked meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and corn. 

It was great having Chris around the house. Good times!

Take care and God bless

Fabulous Friday

Happy Friday, a little late posting this but it is still Friday!

A few pics of our doggies, Patch (9 years old) and Mr. B., aka Bentley (8 months).   These were taken last week in our back yard.

We had to have Mr. B shaved a few weeks ago..but his coat is growing back in now.  He is one big puppy!


A sure sign that Spring is here...one of our daffodils in front of the house.

New garden flag!

Thank you everyone for your kind words about the brownie muffins.  I hope you will let me know if you bake them and what you think.

Have a super ending to your Friday!

God bless
