Finally got a picture of a robin. I've been hearing them singing their little hearts out, but could never spot them.. Then once I did, I couldn't get a picture of them.. However, last Friday we woke to an icy world. You might think this poor robin was froze to the tree, but trust me..it flew off right after I took this photo!!
I have been so...so busy, after my basement flooded it was madding around here. Workers were here cleaning up, removing the carpet, running commercial fans and dehumidifiers for a week!!! After those were removed, I had them clean the basement. (Which they did an amazing job doing.) My daughter and granddaughter were due to come for 10 days on the 9th of this month. So, I wanted the basement re-carpet-ed (new word...meaning put down new carpet! LOL) I finally decided on one (which I love). To do this, my chair lift had to be removed and put back on. Since it was over 15 years old, I choose to put a new one in at this time. The new ones have a battery backup, which is very comforting to know. This way it will take me up or down even if the electricity is off.
While they were here, we went down and visited their aunt Lela and uncle Bob. This was St. Patrick's Day and Bob's 86th birthday!! Lela will catch up with him and a couple weeks!! They are such lovely people, and we always enjoy our time with them.
Here they are with me. It was a fun day, she had made supper (as we call it - do you still use this term or do you use dinner for the evening meal??) She had made loosemeats, baked beans and a macaroni salad. And poke cake for dessert!!
I have much more to share, but here we all are when they left Sunday. My son and his wife took them to the airport on their way home. The house is so quiet...my granddaughter and I had some silly belly laughs and my tummy muscles are so sore...but it's the best kind of sore I know of!! It's been a long time since I've laughed that much. I told her I want her to fly home once a month...LOL But we'll do the next best thing...we'll Facetime!!
How has your weather been? We woke to a dusting of snow this morning. Glad that was all we got. I finally (in the mix) finished the newsletter and got all of them mailed off today!! It is now time to focus on our upcoming MS Walk. Calls need to be made and letters need to go out!!! My other granddaughter and her husband will be here for that. It will be sooooo much fun..having them here!!
Bye for now..
