Rain!!!

We finally got some rain this morning.  It was just a short little shower but I'll take whatever we can get.  We even had a short shower this afternoon. It was giant drops. They looked like half dollar size when they hit the ground.  It reminded me of a time visiting a friend in Hawaii. We had gone to the local wally world. As we were walking from the parking lot it started to rain big fat drops!! She thought she had been pooped on by a bird. Then it really started to rain in earnest. We were soaked before we made it to the front door. So ahh memories...

Bring on the rain!!!!

Weddings

Well it is that time of year again. We are invited to four weddings this summer. I think we will only be able to make two maybe three. One of which hubby extrodinaire is going to be a groomsman. Oh he looks good in his suit and tie. We will be making a quick trip from his Army graduation to the wedding. I have booked the hotel so it is coming together nicely. Just have a few more reservations to go and I will have all the trips booked. Now to shop for the dresses to wear.... Yahoo!!! love to help stimulate the economy....

Mowing

I have had a cold for the last couple of days. So I have enlisted the help of Mr. G to come and help me mow the lawn. He does a wonderful job and gets it complete in one hour and a half. Go figure what a riding mower can do.  He didn't even mow the bushes this time.... I don't think the killer bunny will be happy because he doesn't have anything to hide in now. I saw him this morning trying to eat the leaves off my red bud tree in the back 40.  Should be interesting to see if he shows up tomorrow to munch on the tree. I was wondering if it was bugs getting it, now I know. Munch away bunny much away....

Honking the horn

I have such a wonderful dad. He helped me write an essay that someone important in my life needed asap. So as I was typing I had to put him on hold to blow my nose. (as I have a spring cold) In my family it is called honking your horn. Lets just say I tooted it several times in the 2 plus hours while on the phone with dad. I  guess I am a chip off the old block.... so toot toot to everyone out there who is suffering from the bad allergies or head cold this spring season.

Home again home again

Oh there is nothing better than your own bed or pillow!!!! It was so nice getting to spend time with my honey. He is not going to be gone much longer. Only 66 days left. No I didn't count them down. It seems my hubby is missing his pillow and bed too.... Or maybe what is in it. Hee Hee. Looking forward to bringing him home!!!

Retail Therapy

There is something to be said for shopping after going to the doctor.  A nice dress or shoes or both always makes me happy.  Only got a dress but it sure is cute. I went to get the shoes I had been eyeing for a few days but alas they were unavailable.  I was not ment to have those shoes.  I will be looking for shoes at the base when I go see handsome hubby. I have been thinking about the ones up there for about 2 months. So I will be stimulating the economy one pair of shoes at a time.  I wonder how many I need to buy to make a dent in the deficit. LOL.... I would be happy to give it a try. Anyone with me....

Driving

Well I  drove home today from visiting my big sis.  While driving I drove in the driving rain. HA HA It was definately a challange. At one point, the wind was so strong that it almost pushed me into the other lane. Thankfully no one was next to me. God was watching out for me... he had to send a new guardian angel after that drive to give the other one a break. (much needed I might add)  I got home to find that Berta the fish was still swimming strong. Huh, who would have thought that I can keep a fish alive this long?  Just have to keep her alive and well  until the last week of June and then she will be Saint's pet again.

Visiting

I have the opportunity to visit my sister and family. Tomorrow is her bday. Happy Birthday to you!!! I enjoy getting to see how much my niece and nephew grow. They are becoming such young adults. Little bit is such the entrepreneur and big kid is a great athlete. Uncle Favorite will be happy to know that big Kid is going to play football this fall. I don't think anything will make him happier. Maybe he will be on special teams just like his uncle..... We are proud to be able to be called Aunt Favorite and Uncle Favorite!!!
