Timber......

We finally cut down the Eucalyptus tree. It was bitter sweet cutting it. When we moved here it was probably as tall as I am. I never realized how big they can get. We lost the back part of it a couple years ago and now it looked like the top was dying. It was starting to make a mess, dropping leaves everywhere. So, it was time for it to go.

Not much else going on this weekend. I was hoping to get the deck stained. But, rain Friday didn't allow that. So, that is one chore that still needs to get done.

The boys have 1 more day of school and then they are out for the summer. Austin ended up getting a 91 on his Geometry exam and a B for the semester. We will take that. I think over all he had a pretty easy year. I can't believe his freshman year is behind him and now he will be a sophmore. He will be graduating before I know it. I overheard him asking his friend Wes if he knew what he wanted to be. I heard Austin say that he had no idea what he wanted to do. Hopefully he will figure it out soon. They want you to know even in high school......

Hope you guys have a wonderful week.

Love Ya,

Christy

Weekend.....

Fixing the boat......

Waiting for Nana to pick us up at Mr. Paul's. I think Mr. Paul got carried away on the bangs....

Another weekend has come and gone. Enjoyed a day at Wade Shore on Saturday. While I took Andrew to get a haircut, Travis & Austin went to float the boat. That turned out to be a good decision. Because, Travis quickly realized that the engine wasn't running right. Turns out we had a leak in our fuel filter. Lukily Billy Best's had one and with a quick fix we were on our way. It was a little cloudy to start with. But, turned out to be a beautiful day. On Sunday Brooke and Eric came and had dinner with us at Nana's. We were teasing him and Papa that the men were falling apart. But lucky for them they had some good nurses. It was good to see both Eric & Papa doing so well. I realized that we really do need a 3 day weekend. Just 2 days isn't enough time to do all that you want to do. Austin has exams starting on Wednesday. Say a prayer that he passes his Geometry exam.....Have a great week.

Status Post Bypass......

Thought you would like to see some pics of Papa......


Before Bypass. Has to have that hat.....



The boys visiting Papa.......

Papa & Randy

Glass Half Full.....

Hoping to be able to visit the lighthouse again with Papa soon......


That's Regina on the far right........


That is how I am going to look at all that has happened the last couple days. The half full glass for Daddy is that he had his Cath and we found out what was going on before he had a major heart attack, or worse. With my friend Regina I know her stroke could have been a lot worse. Regina is now able to move her right arm & leg. But, is still not able to talk. I think I am more devastated by this happening to her than Daddy's news. I think after Daddy's surgery and recovery that he will feel like a new man. I worry how much Regina will completely recover? We are going to have to believe that she will recover completely and have patience. A song I was listening to today words were, " God does move our mountains. But, sometimes just one stone at a time."

A lot will be going on at work and now at home the next few weeks. We are in the process of hiring a new doctor. She is supposed to start July 1st. Regina was in the middle of getting our ECHO lab accredited. She also did a lot to help our nurses. So, we will have to make some staffing decisions. I just pray that God will allow everything to fall into place and the correct decisions will always be made.

Praying for Papa, Nana, Regina......

Love Ya,

After The Rain....

Hibiscus......

Hosta......

That is actually fake fern in that container.

Definately will not have to water....

Weekend Work

This past weekend was spent getting the yard Spring Cleaned.....It was warm. But, we had a good breeze so the temps were not too bad. It took "2" trailer loads of mulch to cover all the beds. I can't wait for my lantana to start blooming. That will put the finishing touches on the beds. We just had a good rain which was badly needed. I have tried really hard to select plants that are drought resistant. So, time will tell how much watering I will have to do. It looks like that my 2 watering cans so far cover all currently. I can handle that. Tomorror the week will already be half over. Hope all are having a good week and looking forward to Mother's Day. This family sure does have some good Mama's in it. So, all those Dad's & Kids better take care of them on their special day.

Love to all,
Christy
