  • Last weekend was Prom!

    I am going to put some pics up to show off my handsome son and his prom date.  They had a fun time, which I knew they would.   The weekend before this past one I went with Alex to order his tux.  He looked so nice in it.  We decided on a black tux with a pretty yellow tie and handkerchief to match Brianne’s dress.   A few pics of them both…..

    The little blonde is our oldest granddaughter, Domi.  The llittle brunette is our baby, Miranda.  They were both wearing princess dresses the day of prom

    I have my tomato plants and pepper plant in the pots on my de4ck.  I also have some herbs and flowers planted.   We are still working on getting some more of our privacy fence up.  It takes a long time when you do it all piece by piece and since hubby doesn’t get much time off work it takes us even longer.

    17 more school days and then it is SUMMER VACATION time!   I think I have definitely earned a break this summer, and not the kind that involves my ankle    I am hoping to get some major motorcycle rides in, and maybe a short weekend trip or two.  We are still saving money so we can get to San Diego sometime in October when Alex will graduate Marine boot camp.  We haven’t decided yet if we will take the bike, the van, or if we will fly.   A lot depends on the weather.

    Hubby finally got our daughter Lily’s van fixed.  The drive axel somehow broke on it.  At first we thought it was the transmission.  I am soo glad it was only the axel.  It cost around $70 to fix it versus a good $1000 or more for a transmission.  So the van has been taken back to her and she isn't carless anymore    that also got one more vehicle out of our yard….    Now if we can only get our other car fixed.  Hubby thinks there must be a crack in one of the heads.  It’s always something!

    Not much else going on right now….    Driving the school bus, taking care of my digital scrapbooking site.  We just had a big weekend, National Scrapbooking Day.   That always brings a lot of people into the site and the store.   May 21st thru the 27th is The Scrapping Gardens’ 2nd birthday.  We are planning a bunch of different activities.  Some games, some crops, some sales     Pop on over if you would like to check it out…   The Scrapping Garden

    That’s it for now…   My daughter Rachel is coming over tomorrow to take me to lunch for Mothers Day….     You all have a wonderful Mothers Day too!

    Smile!
