Spring is here, officially came last week. We are enjoying the birds singing in the trees,but not all the mud and brown grass. I have to admit that Spring although nice is not my favorite time of the year, at least the first part of Spring. In a month or so the grass will be green and the trees will get their leaves  the flowers will awaken from their Winter sleep, then it will be nice. I am waiting especially for my tulips to come up that I planted in the fall, I just love tulips. Another thing about Spring is that it is looks warmer than it really is outside and all the mud that gets tracked into the hou7se. I have to patiently wait until the ground dries a little and then shampoo all the carpets, and it is hard to wait I always want it done right away,so that it doesn't have to be redone. I have been also enjoying going for walks with my dog, Rusty. He is a really good dog just very little brain. But then he is a typical Golden, from what I have read.

My knight and I , along with Matthew and Rusty, went doublewide shopping last Tuesday. We found one that we both really liked. We are really hoping to get into a new place soon, just a little more time.

Easter was a good day for us as we went to the sunrise service ,breakfast, and the morning church service. All at our church. The sunrise service was actually a couple hours after sunrise, but I think that things flowed much better this year than in years past where we had a couple hours in between. When my parents were still alive we would use those couple hours to go and see them as they couldn't really get out much anymore at that point in their lives. Kinda miss it , but kinda don't.

We had Easter dinner at our friends house. They always do such a wonderful job , but this year was over the top. I think that half the people from church were there. It was a lot of fun to sit and talk to people that we don't always get a opportunity to see. I got to help with the dishes , which brought back many good memories of Easter past . You know you really can have some good conversation while doing the dishes.

 The evening service, at church, was a readers theater. It was written by our pastor who is very talented with writing skits, plays and readers theaters.

I made up several Easter baskets for my grandchildren. Sent out the girls theirs last week and Cameron got his on Sunday at breakfast. You should have seen his face as he helped his dad open it...it was a true Kodak moment.

You know that Spring is coming when you see a flock of Robins arriving and landing in your yard. It is nice to see them back, actually they flew in yesterday morning. I was sitting here at the computer and watched them land and listened to their beautiful singing. I had a boss one time that would always try and see the first robin. He always saw the first one , no matter how hard I tried to see one first. Every year now when I see one I remember him and just have to smile to myself, he has since gone on to heaven .

Work is just that work.Paychecks didn't come in on Friday as they should have and they aren't sure at this point when they are going to be able to pay us. Maybe the 16th, but not sure. I am thankful that we do have a savings account and that my Knight takes good care of me. I am just hoping that the paychecks come in soon.

  Pets can be and are such a blessing, however they can also be trouble. We aren't quite sure how it happened that one of the bird cages fell off the table that they are on, but it did. It could have been one of the three cats or was it my parrot just getting bored. Anyway the cage had seven finches in it. Matthew and I had to find and catch them. This was much easier said than done. Finches are a very small bird and they fly fast. We did find and catch all of them by bedtime,  however we had to put them in another cage. The cockatiels now have new roommates.....the finches. I would buy a new cage, however there is the issue of the paycheck as mentioned earlier.  And speaking of cats there are two of them who have taken up residence under the our trailer. Which makes the indoor cats unhappy. They are taking off the register covers at night to get to these intruders and defend their home. However if you have ever walked around in the dark you know how hard it can be to see where you are walking. So far no one has stepped into the register , but I think that it could happen. I have also put something on each of them so to make it harder for the cats.

  My car is in the shop today.... not to worry only for the basics, oil change, tire rotation and to get the gas cover so that it will open so that I can put gas in. Yes, I did say gas cover, it is getting stuck on something inside and it is a two person job to open it....one to pull the lever and one to jiggle the gas cover. Life is fun here what can I say....just laugh, that is what I do.
