catch up

 Cant believe it has been so long since i blogged...It seems like i don't DO anything.. the days meld one to another.. Yet things happen..  I am watching Novah on Wednesdays so her mom can work a housekeeping job. There are doctors appts.. That quilt i started in January is STILL sitting there,  undone..  on my set up in the garage.  at least now it is warm enough to be out there!.. so i should really get to it!

 Rylie graduated from middle school, starts High School next year.  She looked really pretty in her new dress. Quite festive.  It was kind of a weird ceremony, i felt. No music. they all just sort of sauntered in.  Had an opening speech by principal. awarding of different local awards. some closing comments, Go forward and do good.  and that was about it . Went back to their house and had tacos... about 20 friends and family.. lots of little kiddos, they are all in their productive years, hahaha..

She turned 14 on the 30th April

Novah turned ONE on April 29th She is an independent little thing and gets really mad when things do not go her way . Noticed her getting upset when she couldnt work one of her toys. That apple one where u put the different shapes back into the apple.. she figured out how to get them out, pry the little door, but has not figured out the shapes yet and how they go back in... just have to move them around to match...

 

My peonies did well this year and the deer were not around to eat the buds!!  Had 5 really big blooms.  Have a spot in  my beds where nothing will grow, have tried two different bushes and don't know how many flowers and eventually they all die.  Added some new soil and fertilizer and some NEW plants and will see how they do. Never know..    

 Sadie just as sweet as ever.  she is really the best dog. and loves me!!! Took her to Lowes today, put a towel in the cart basket and she just sat there, nice as  could be. No barking or trying to jump  out. And she is just standing there so nice when i take her to get her nails done..go twice a month!! (which is quite a change from when we started, what a nightmare) they grow SO fast.  she has only gone to the same lady and has gotten used to her and  TJ is really good with her. So kind and gentle. She has a mobile grooming van and is at a local pet store the 2nd friday of the month, then the last monday. an if i miss just all her and can go by her house to get it done. so it is really convenient.  she has really  gotten much better on her barking and when i tell her not to, she usually stops. an think she knows if she goes out there and barks, she will not get a treat when coming back in. BUT there is so much out there to take exception  to!! And she is quiet in the mornings and lets me sleep. Brian and Robin are getting up and getting ready for work at different times and not a peep out her .. but normally by 9 she is ready to pee!!!

People always ask me how many books do i read.. last year read 41 and so far this year, 26 . and i think that is pitifully few.  there are SO many books.  and i only  give up  on about 3-4.. usually i am pretty good about how i pick out what i want to read, or have been lucky. i  have always felt there is  a reason this was published, some one must have liked it, right? but have learned i am not obligated to red something and don't want to waste time on something i am not interested in.. I always carry my book with me. Never know when u are stuck waiting, doc appts, car work, waiting for people to show when u are meeting someone.. never know..  Well that is about it.. nothing exciting, no travels, no visitors.

Got yardwork pretty much under control, just up keep, Brian Mows.. And the weather is FINALLY warming up.. wonder how long it will be before i am complaining of the heat. 

Take Care and God Bless All.
