Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!!!

I would much rather have snow than this crazy rain. Feeling the effects of a cold coming on. I'm trying to head it of with tons of juice, rest and cold pills.

We have two more fish fries at the station and then we are done, I think. People are asking us to continue as least once a month. We have had tons of help and we usually have a good time while we are there. Problem is. . . we have the spring auction coming up and that will take lots of time and energy. We'll see.

Hot cookies coming out of the oven as John comes home from work. Sure smells good in here. Now time for a nap.

wooden delights

Here are some of the projects that the John's have been working on. Turning items on the lathe seems to relax both of them. The girls are going to attend a craft show in May and hopefully sell some of our wonders.

Lots of news

Well arm isn't any better, but we are dealing with it.

Went to Georgia the end of January to surprise John's sister for her 60th Birthday. Had so much fun.

Had lots of snow in February

This is a beautiful old cedar chest that John was just repairing and ended up almost totally rebuilding for a neighbor. Did ya hear? I'm gonna be a grandma

What do you get a "50" year old man who doesn't need anything? One that is in his second childhood. Well . .


You get him something he never has had . . . a video game. The kids got him extra controllers, a fishing game, rock band and others.

We all met at Pizza Hut to surprise him. He had had a long day. He finished up on afternoon shift Saturday at 3:00 am, showered, met Dad at 4:00 am and spent the day at the auction in Kidron, then home to a surprise.

Birthday pair. Hey, I'm gonna be a Grandma!!!

They have always had fun celebrating the special days together. Used to go out on Daddy/Daughter nights, but schedules are crazy anymore.

John Jr. turned (on the lathe) Sarah a beautiful bowl for her birthday.

Turning bowls is the new thing, along with the ink pens. Selling some lately.

Last night was the RS Birthday Dinner. I made 30 aprons and gave each of the women there one. We had dinner (Lorrie's best recipes); poppyseed chicken over rice, apple viniagrette salad, fruit delight and birthday cake. Can't get much better.

What a great family I have.
