Spring is coming....

...the Indian paintbrushes are peeking through the grass, and the cute little purple flower thingys are out . Now the bluebonnets need to make their appearance.and spring will be here for sure. The caressing breezes and colorful flowers awaken the senses and make one come to life. The renewing of life begins its cycle again.

Mom's yard is looking good. She has azaleas blooming everywhere and Ray worked on her yard and now it is looking cute.

The Homestead is Underway

Ray is building a cedar post fence and is still working on the patio. Look at the results.

The fence is still in process, but here is what it looks like at this time.

Spring Break

Spring Break whirled through and left me dizzy and spent... but smiling.

Saturday Ray and I met Jamie, Scot, and Cody to bring Cody to the Homestead.

I f insihed reading the The Devil Wears Prada while Cody and Pawpaw spent all day outside.

Tuesday Lou, Dina, Lindsey, and Daniel drove in from Corpus. We barbequed steaks and enjoyed the evening. Daniel and Cody wore Cowboy hats and Cody had Pawpaws pipe.

The next day, we drove into Houston and braved the thunderstorms. Couldn't do much shopping, terrorized the mall and Barnes and Noble. Bought three books: Johnny Got His Gun, A Girl Named Zippy, and The Freedom Writers Diary. Finally we got everybody to hit the sack, including Lindz.

When they left to vacation a little more, Mamo and I drove Cody home. We had a visit with Jamie and Scot, then spent the night, and enjoyed a leisurely drive home.

Ray bought a satellite radio, and is enjoying the heck out of it. Everytime I hear a song I like, I write it down to download on my iPOD.

Saturday I recharged my batteries by scrapping all day long. I worked on Jamie's and Jodie's scrapbooks and created the layout for the spring scrapbook.

Sunday I will finsh chores and take all my books to prepare for UIL poetry and prose interpretation. Hope your break was great.

Love,

Glenda
