IT'S NOW ALMOST EASTER!

I noticed no matter what the weather is going to be at our new home the sun is always shining on me in the livingroom. I can see it coming over the neighbors roof every morning. I had such a wonderful birthday! It was quiet and sweet. Tons of birthday greetings on facebook... well over 100. All the grandkids contacted me by cell phone or regular phone. Except one. Our kids all called or contacted me! Except one. My brother and sisters called early! Except one It is amazing for how busy they all are....I think I am loved! Papa made me Chicken fried steak, scrambled eggs and hashbrowns for breakfast...and then steak for dinner! Grand daughter Riley came over with yellow carnations (my favorite) and visited a long time! While she was her my niece Alyssa came over with a beautiful card from her and Jessie. She stayed for awhile too! Tara brought over an apple pie (one of my favorites).

Anyway, Papa got an electric lawnmower. Our area is so small it won't take much and hopefully it won't be a problem for him to do. If it is we will have to ask one of the kids. Can't ask Dylan right now... he got a new job! He starts Monday and I am excited for him. We are almost done with our PET WALL. It is a wall with family pets past and present in all our families. We love our cats and dogs and always will. Here is a picture. It was Lauren's idea and it was a good one!

I'll share some more pictures...

My daughters' book she wrote. You should order it and read it!!  It is really good

These sweet ladies are mom's cousins in South Dakota. I love there shirts... it could go for Libby, me and Lois.  Or Heather, Karla and Tara!  Almost any 3 kids! lol

When we were young.  My dad was so handsome. That is me on his lap. Doug between the parents and Libby, Lois1

Our family loves golf!  Here is grandsons Jared and Joshua

My grand daughter, Lauren, at WSU sent me some pictures of her! I sure miss her!  I love how she will call me when walking home from class or a gathering with her friends like last night after 1 a.m.

The Burdyshaw's went to Fort Flagler last weekend.

Grand daughter Riley and her boyfriend Scott

Madelyn and her new prom dress! Gorgeous!

We watched the Passion of the Christ for Good Friday. What an incredible tear jerker. Seeing what Christ went through for my sins breaks my heart. I hope you have a happy Easter!!!! We are going to Amanda's for brunch and then making a turkey dinner at home. It will be a blessed Easter. I just wish Madelyn and Lauren would be home and Heather and her group were over. I love this picture and wanted to share it:

Today is Monday...tomorrow is my birthday!

Trying to get this updated. Will have to do pictures since the grand ones have grown up. Makes me sad but I am so proud of the adults they have become. The pollen has been terrible lately. I wake up every night with this garbage. It might help if I take some allergy pills before bed. duh! Last night we had Swedish Meatballs, mashed potatoes and corn for dinner. Papa forgot to put it away overnight so there are no leftovers tonight. Not sure what we are having tonight. I think Papa is making pancakes. For lunch he made frito burrito (soft taco shell with taco meat, chili, frito's and cheese rolled up.) It is really nummy. Not sure what tomorrow night will be for my birthday. I have no plans at all. I can't believe I will be 66 years old! I feel 80 sometimes. Usually I have it all planned for a couple weeks. Well.... here are a few pictures of how the house is coming around. Have a great day and hope you visit again!

FRIDAY!

Moving is very tiring. I just finished rearranging our pantry. We love the big pantry. It is awsome. But it needed to be fixed and I needed to see what is in there for my shopping list. I really love our skylight in the kitchen. It is so bright. Our whole house is bright and I absolutely love it! I never realized how dark and dingy our other home was. Tara is here cleaning our house. She is coming to do it every couple weeks. I am so happy about it! We can keep it up for a couple weeks. lol. She is so amazing. This weekend Heather, Don and Jared are suppose to come over and and pick up a bunch of stuff we are giving away from the move that they wanted. Plus they are going to come over and visit and bring Peyson (great grandson) to say goodbye. He is movig to Arizona (again) with his mom. Poor Don and Heather continue to get their hearts ripped out. He sure is a cutie!!!! Here he is with his grandma and little sister!

They will get to see our house for the first time too! Well, don't have too much more to say. If you want to leave a comment you need to be a member of my blog? I am getting a lot of foreign comments I amm deleting. Don't need that. You take care and remmember Christ is here for you!
