Rough 2 games today.....Not one of the girls played like their usual self.  When my daughter can say she scored 100% of her teams points, which was 2 something is wrong.  The losses were by many, many points.  You can see it on Shelby and Katie's faces.

Mark redid around the pond area because of the fence being taken down last year.  Looks pretty good.

may 28


Matthew jamming.   I miss the music in the house.  With Michael gone and Matthew working or going to school when I'm home I very rarely hear him play.

may 27


Shelby's new do.  Back to short and dark.  I love it.  It is totally who she is.

My honey working on his motorcycle.  He needs to do a few mechanical things but today was about washing and waxing it.  He is going on another bike trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway in June.

may 25


Matthew cut the lawn while Mark moved mulch.  Still not done but making progress.

may 24


Michael's gifts.  He turned 21 today.

may 23


Another mulch delivery. That makes 12 yards in total.  Mark's not too sure if this will complete all area's.

may 21


Michael's birthday card......


and one for Grace.




may 20


Really??  3 laptops....I looked at the counter and this is what I saw.  My, how times have changed.  Just a few years ago, I would never had said that each of us would have our own computers.  Mark doesn't have a laptop but he uses the desktop.

may 19


Spring cleaning.  Love having access to an air gun.  It is the best thing to use for cleaning the dust out of hard to reach places.  Makes easy work but very messy with dust flying all around.


I had to go to the dentist today to have him pull a tooth.  It was cracked due to my sinus infection (we think) and for him to fix it it would have cost upwards of 2 grand.  We already knew that I had a lot of bone loss and eventually I would have lost the tooth anyways so I opted to have him pull it.  It was not fun....but seeing the lilacs helped, they were my sister's favorite flower

Matthew is going to try his hand at another vegetable garden this year.  He's also going to try sunflowers.  Hope he has good luck like he did last year.

may 17


Mark took the bike out for the 1st time this year.

may 16


The boy stopped by and hung out with his mom and dad.  He indulged me by posing for selfies with me.

Shelby didn't get home until 11:30.  It was a very long day for her and she was happy to be back in NH.

may 13-may 15





Some pictures from Shelby's DC trip. It was an exhausting trip but she had fun.

may 12


Just about packed for Shelby's DC trip.  We did have to move her stuff to the bigger suitcase.

may 11


From Michael.


From Matthew.


Two new charms.
The Rose from Shelby.
The cow from Mark.

It was a good Mother's day.  It was spent in the gym for basketball, the girls won 1, lost 1.  Then we went out to dinner at the Longhorn with the Bisson's.  It was very good company and the food was delicious. 



may 10


After 2 winning games we stopped at Lone Oak Ice Cream in Rochester.  Cyndey is trying not to smile, Lauren's giving me her "look" and Shelby is just plain ignoring me.

may 09


We got 7 yards of mulch delivered.  It has been 3 years since we put down new mulch.

may 08


I went the doctor's today...I have a sinus infection that started Saturday evening.  I was in a lot of pain.  Come to find out it was not a viral but a bacterial infection.  10 day of antibiotics.

may 06



Sherry, Rachel and I went to Muse Paintbar.  We had so much fun!  We can't wait to find another picture we want to paint.  I don't know why my painting his washed out in the top picture but the bottom one is accurate colors.  I hung this in my craft room.

may 05


Michael's apartment house.  He lives somewhere on the 1st floor.  I pass his apartment every Monday and Thursday because Shelby practices right down the street.

may 04


Mark laying the last of the walkway that was started a few years ago.  One more thing checked off his list.

may 03


Shelby gathered limbs in the yard and brought them out back to burn them while Mark worked on the front mulch area.

may 02


A mother's day card and 2 birthday cards, though one is in the envelope already.  The month of my is a busy one with birthdays.

may 01


My spring flowers are blooming.  I can't remember the name of these but they are one of my favorites.
