I'm Back!

Yes, I am back home in Alabama.  I came home last week.  Drove down on Monday and Tuesday between the snow and rain.  I missed the snow that has been pounding the Midwest.  As for the rain, I didn’t have any driving home.  However, we have had 5 inches of rain since I got home.

I want to apologize to all of you who I did not get to visit.  It was a little hectic.  I only got to see Brian and his family twice; and Rita and Bob once. Only was able to visit with mom about a half dozen times. Did talk to her on the phone every evening though. I did have lunch with Gail, did a little necessary shopping and banking.  Other than that I was busy.  Jana was not allowed to drive until three weeks ago.  Therefore, I was taking her to physical therapy, the doctor’s visits, etc.  She also needed someone with her 24/7 to help her, and that was me.  I plan to be back in July since our family reunion is in Cincinnati this year, and I hope to see all of you then.

Now it’s back to business here at home.  Yesterday and today has been sunny so I have been pulling weeds in my rock gardens.  I have finished one and plan to start the next one.  The trees are starting to bud.  It looks like the trees and bushes made it through the winter.  The grass needs cutting, but it’s too wet for that yet.  The mower would probably sink.  Also found out that one of my pecan trees has termites and needs to be taken down.  Kevin and Gio plan on doing that on Saturday. 

Last night we went to Lowe’s.  Jana and David gave me a gift certificate for helping them so I just had to spend it.  Of course, I spent more than the gift certificate.  I bought a bird bath for my front yard and a pantry for the kitchen.  Renea is going to help me stain it this weekend since I’ve never done anything like that.  It’s time I learned. 

My break is over and it’s time to get back to work.
