My Goodness!

Time has just flown by on me. I can't believe I haven't posted since Easter! I was just checking my camera, and I realized I didn't take a SINGLE picture over the Easter weekend!

I colored eggs. No pictures. We had a lovely dinner. No pictures! That is SO unlike me!

This week my parents have been here since Friday. It was wonderful to have them here. We got so much done! They built a chicken coop and chicken run for my 6 new baby chicks. My mom cleaned my whole back patio. They helped me clean and get our inground pool in shape for the season. It is beautiful and blue already!

We had over 90 degree days for the entire weekend! I am so sunburned, and I normally don't burn. We were just outside from dawn to dusk every night doing things. I am tried to help to the best of my ability, but with my knee, I wasn't a big help. We wanted to get as much done as possible before my knee surgery.

I even was able to scrap, organize, and create while they were here. We ate SO good! My mom is a fabulous cook! We had ribs, steak, pizza, and all sorts of wonderful meals. We made all of our bread (homemade = so yummy). My dad is now so hooked on the bread that he bought mom a bread keeper and slicer, so she can make bread like I do.

Of course, we had all of these outdoor projects while they were here, and now that they went home for their appointments the temperature has dropped 20 degrees! It is overcast and much cooler today. Yesterday by now we were closing up the house and turning on the air conditioning! Today, the windows are open, and I am a bit chilled. What a difference a day makes.

Well, today I have a couple of errands, some sweeping to do, and then it is CRAFTING time! I need to finish uploading all of the projects I finished and get them posted here. New projects are coming!
