Uh oh

Well, last post was 8 days ago; I blew NaBloPoMo. Maybe next time. We had a whirlwind wonderful weekend with out of town visitors, Carol, Nate, Maya and Romy. Carol helped sooo much with food prep and general sisterly love. Nate, Maya and Romy toddled around and made jokes. Lena graduated with aplomb! It was a great weekend!
Dan and I are exhausted now; resting each day :)

Getting Ready

Tonight I put together the baby bed that my children used 33 and 30 years ago. It was also used for 2 babies for friends. I think I put the gate that goes up and down on backwards, but that's okay. It'll remain stationery. But, think! This baby bed is so old and we still have all the parts; it went together pretty easily once I discovered the knack. Took me an hour to find the knack. Ha. We hope Romy likes the bed and the new Grover Sheets and the little Pooh blankie.

New Yard

This just in: Every day is busy in this house! Ha! Still lots of work to do in the yard ,but the grill is sporting a new cover and there are more supportive little fences by the irises. The new hose waits to be screwed up to the new outdoor faucet. The backyard seems brand new! Plans STILL include more flowers to be planted, patio to be weeded and a few branches cut off. The latter may have to wait a few weeks.
Countdown to party is now T minus 3.5 days. And I have to work every day. So, will make use of the evenings!
Laters!
