Happy Easter....He Is Risen.....












We are enjoying a beautiful Easter Sunday. It was a little chilly when we left for church. But, it has warmed up nicely this afternoon. Wasn't in the mood for ham. So, we grilled barbecue chicken for lunch. Getting good pictures of us is a chore. The boys actually didn't fuss as much as they usually do. They actually were just being silly.
I was going to take Monday - Wednesday off this week. But, it looks like the end of the week is going to be nicer. So, I am going to take Wednesday - Friday off instead. We will go to the beach a few days and then finish up the week here.
Hope you all have a wonderful Easter and a great week ahead.
Love ya,
Christy

Puppy Sitting.....

Introducing Angel......


The boys couldn't believe I held a dog.....


Isn't she a cutie.....

Andrew is in love with her....

Andrew & Trent copying the way Angel is sleeping.

We have been babysitting Mrs. Pat's new puppy for her today. She lost both of her dogs in the last month. Another one of our neighbors was at her vet and there was a bunch of puppies that had been dropped off. She brought one home for Mrs. Pat. She is a sweetie. Her name is Angel. I think Mrs. Pat is a little nervous that she will not be able to take care of her since she can't see. But, I think she will be a great Mama to this little one. She needs another dog. Gives her something to live for.

She is a cutie. But, I'm glad I can give her back. I told the boys they can go across the street and visit her anytime......

Beautiful Weekend.....

We sure have enjoyed this weekend. Just wished they were a little longer. The weather was very nice. We cleaned the yard at the beach house and went and had supper with Nana Saturday night. We had stewed hard crabs.... The boys are beginning to love them as much as I do. Travis passes on the crabs. But, fills his tummy with the potatoes and gravy...

The weather was beautiful this weekend. The pollen is a little bit in excess. The back screened in porch looked like it had a layer of green. I just left it. I knew I would be wasting my time cleaning it. So, maybe next time we go all the pollen will have fallen and I can clean it then. I did miss having my morning coffee out there though..... The sound of the Seagulls makes me want to rush the summer here. We did bring the boat home to get it ready to take out soon.....

Hope this week goes by quick. The boys and I are looking forward to Spring break. Those of you who have Spring break this week, Enjoy.....

Love You All,
Christy

Not Much Happening....

Well the weekend is already over. They go by to fast..... We ended up with some sunshine Saturday morning. So, after I took Austin to meet a church group to go and play paintball I came home and worked in my flower beds until about 2 pm. I am anxious to see some flowers coming up. That will be a sure sign that Spring is here. I keep telling myself that I am not going to plant a lot of things this year. The past 2 years I have had to do a lot of watering and worrying about my flowers when I am out of town. So, this year I am not going to plant as much and what I do plant is going to be drought tolerant.....

Nana & Papa came and stayed with us last night. He has a doctor's appointment in Chapel Hill today for his hand. I wish they could get that hand cleared up. I'm not sure what else they can do. I think it is going to be a longgggggg process. Pray for Nana....... Papa had gotten some oysters for Mrs. Paulette. Needless to say Austin and Andrew talked him into giving them a pan of them. I was able to get 1 oyster from the bunch. I think it was the saltiest oyster I had ever eaten. They wanted seconds, but they decided to let Papa take the rest to Mrs. Paultette.

I have to admit that Ellie Mae is a cutie. I wonder if she knows what a lucky little puppy she is to have a home with the Rosebuds? She won't fair bad.....

Well it is Monday again. The boys have a teacher's workday today. So, I left all of my boys in bed. Maybe they won't drive Travis crazy. I am looking forward to Easter vacation. I have taken a few days off that week. I would love it if the weather would be warm enough for us to go out in the boat. We will have to see.

Hope all have a wonderful week.

Love Ya,
Christy

What a difference a week makes....

Ughhh. This weekend sure isn't going to turn out like last weekend. We are in for "several" days of rainy & cold weather. So, the only plans I have for the weekend is to make vegetable soup. I think it is going to be a perfect weekend for it. It sure has been hard getting up this week. I still have not adjusted to the time change. I have a feeling that tomorrow morning is going to be a good morning to sleep in. I usually don't like to do that. Because, I feel like I have wasted my Saturday. But, I am going to endulge tomorrow....

I hope the Rosebuds enjoy their weekend and have lots of fun breaking Daddy into the routine again....I bet he wouldn't rather be doing anything else.

Have a great weekend.

Myrtle Beach


If you look right in the middle of all
those people, you will see Me & Travis...Ha!






Enjoying Myrtle Beach. Shopping, eating and spending time with my honey. We have even experienced a first... I will have to tell you about that in private. It has been a nice weekend so far. Just wished the weather was a little warmer. The winds have been pretty strong here. So, that is keeping the temperature down. I want to get my bones thawed out.... My honey is so good about letting me shop, shop, shop. He has taken me to all the Ross's we can find. Our GPS has taken us around the Devil's elbow sometimes though. lol....Why is it when you are looking to spend some money you can't find anything you really want to spend it on? I have found a few things though.... Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend and don't forget to "Spring Forward".......

Love to all,

Christy

Beautiful Weekend Ahead......



Today is my Friday..... Off tomorrow and Travis and I are going to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. We are taking Andrew to Nana tonight, Austin is staying with a friend and then we are leaving for Myrtle Beach in the morning. The weather looks like it is going to be gorgeous!!! I have had enough of this cold weather. I don't envy the Rosebuds and their Michigan weather at all......

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Maybe we all will have beautiful, warmer weather.....

Love to all,

Christy
