thursday thirteen

No preamble here I will dive right in....

1. Nevada's in the school garden program, yesterday was her first inspection but the slugs had left nothing to inspect...Poor Nevy, the lady was really nice and gave her points for no weeds and a well placed layout of the rows...

2.In the last week I had two sets of company come that I hadn't seen for a very very long time. It was great to see my niece who was travelling with her bf.  Nine years can really change a person. lol 

3.Bacon wrapped perogies on the barbecue,  I can't say enough about these tasty little morsels of culinary delight...

4.Planning a trip at the end of the summer.  I love the excitement of where to go where to stay..

5.About number 4,  has anyone ever been to Yosemite and have any good ideas for a day trip through the park?

6.I haven't been watching The world cup on tv but have been keeping up to date online.

7.At Harrison's work they have been laying off scores of people weekly.  We never know when he leaves to work if he will be coming home unemployed.  It's rather unsettling.

8.I have switched my morning coffee to three quarters decaf, and one quarter regular and I find I don't notice the difference.  The flavour is still the same and I'm glad I've cut down on the caffeine.

9.Saturday we are having a mini grad reunion at a local pub. I am committed to attending but not looking forward to sitting in a smelly pub.  I wish they could have found a place with some outdoor seating.

10.This year I have been doing the majority of the yard work as the hubby has been sick.  I am loving it. The yard is looking pretty awesome as well.

11.Back to number 2 the other visitors I had were old friends from California.  I hadn't seen them for about fourteen years.  They had never met Nevada and the last time they seen the boys Kaikoa was still in diapers.

12.For some reason my nails right now are looking pretty awesome.  They are long and strong.  Even with the heavy gardening I am pretty proud of them.  I am not going to bother with nail polish just look at them in their natural state.

13. I am in dire need of a new pair of runners.  I wore the soles right through on my last pair.  I have only had them for about 6 months.  The tops still look nice and stylish and I'm kind of ticked how they wore out so fast.

 

Well thats much ado about nothing....happy last week of spring.

This is not only a back road its one of the only roads on Cat Island Bahamas. 

company's coming

and I'm not sure if I have to cook.....Hubby took the call yesterday from some friends that are in the country.  All I know is that they will be here today but have no idea what time or what they have in mind.  They were spending the night about 4 hours drive away from here.  All I do know is that they are staying in a hotel.  That part is good as we really don't have room for them here.  If I knew a few more details I would whip up some yummy dessert and food.  I love doing stuff like that. Men why can't they ask simple questions?

I haven't seen Clyde and Leah years and years. I have the most coolest picture of the boys in their yard with a goat. We sure had some fun times back then in the 90's.   We've always sent Xmas cards but Facebook got us back reconnected.(thanks Facebook).

Summer is growing things.  I love how the heads of Sunflowers turn to face the sun.  We take the seeds from the plants in the fall and save some for the next spring so we have the same family lineage..
