There is good.......

and there is bad..........

first, the good

yummy homemade lemonade

I fill my drink dispenser with slices of lemons and limes, add some sugar and then fill up with ice.

Right before the kids come over, I add spring water.

it is just so good!!

and we had temps in the 90's over the weekend so the lemonade was great!

Our weather has been awesome except for the mounds of pollen every where!

Vacation coming up in another week

Maddox is getting used to him and his mommy not living with grandma and grandpa!

sleeping in his bed.....some nights.

My peonies are covered in buds...........as are my rose bushes!

The lily of the valley is opening up now in the garden.

and now the bad..........

my poor Jacquelyn was laid off of her job on Monday

and only given one weeks notice

which really, couldn't they have been a little more human and given 2 or 3 weeks notice or at least some severance pay!

later..........

Happy Birthday Jamie......

I miss you Jamie.....

Jamie Delaney Evans passed away 3 years ago from a brain tumor.......and in her words, "a stupid one".......today she would have turned 54 years old.
She is my husband's baby sister, my sister-in-law.....but more than that, she was my best friend!
She was my "go to" friend......you know the one, the one person on earth that you always called no matter what.......if you were upset, if you were thrilled, if you were mad, if you had gossip, if you needed to cry. She was that person.......I always, let me repeat, ALWAYS had fun when I was with Jamie. No matter what, we always ended up laughing. I knew I could count on her no matter what.

And I miss her as much today as I did 3 years ago. And no one has been able to take her place so there is that void in my life and I guess there always will be......

I miss you Jamie.......

later.......

Snow is gone......

so I think it's probably time for a new picture!

Upper 80's this weekend.....maybe even 91 on Saturday!

So I will def get out and get some pictures.

later........

Monday.......

I really have nothing good to blog about.
it was a very, very busy weekend

Saturday went to the gym, cleaned a little around the house, went to Jacquelyn's to help with her flower bed, went to Nicole's to help with unpacking, went back to Jacquelyn's to help with the mulch....went home, took shower, went out to eat with Jacquelyn & Bucky, went to Target......dropped in the bed!!

Sunday cut the front yard grass, cleaned up some in the garage, shower and then cooked dinner and all the kids came over.

what's missing from above........well, that would be the Johnny boy! He worked double shifts on Sat and Sunday. It will be nice to see him this evening.....

later.....
