Spring is right around the corner!

I'm really getting excited about the advent of spring and all its wonderous flowers.  I generally stay in a blue funk during the winter and this winter, I just watched rerun after rerun of Top Chef, The Tudors, Next Top Model, and other reality based shows.  My poor husband fumed over my lack of interest in volunteerism and/or anything else that he considers of value.  Let's face it:  I'm just not a joiner --because I always want to be in charge.  It's part of my personality defect and quite honestly, it's a bummer.  I did join Weight Watchers and have been going to the gym daily but now .......I'm gearing up to work in the garden.  I spent 3 hours weeding and replanting daffodils on both Friday and Saturday.  That's a total of 6 points earned!

See my beginner efforts to replant (I do an awfully alot of transferring) the daffodils so Bob wouldn't trample them whilst he is cutting off all the lower limbs he can find.  He has been running that chain saw non-stop until it finally blew up yesterday.  Thank you, God, for rupturing the fuel line.

Yesterday, we attended my grand niece, Taylor's, baby shower for Tiana.  The decorations and food were wonderful and my weight watchers resolve took a major hit. 

The pics are below:  (1) A diaper cake (cute idea!).  (2)  My niece, Amy with the honoree, Taylor, and her grandmother (sister Dolores).  (3) The last pic is of  Taylor, True and Trae.  Spring (next month) will bring sweet Tiana to the family. 

Home Again Home Again

Bob and I spent last week in the DFW area with our daughter, Susannah, and her husband, Adam, and our delightful grandson, Anderson.  We couldn't do alot- Anderson was sick with a virus so we cherished the time we could spend with him.  We did have two outings -- one to the Children's Hospital in Dallas to meet Megan, our niece, for lunch and one to the local feed store.  Anderson loved the train display at the Children's Hospital.  I"ll share some pictures. 

Pics:  (1)  Anderson and his Nunna who were fascinated by the trains,villages and cityscape of Dallas.
(2)  Megan, who is due in March with Bennett (3) Anderson loved the train with the cows in one car so much that when he returned home, he immediately placed his cows on his train.
  

Here are some pictures of our adventures at the feed store.

The horse seemed to have liked our little buddy alot.



Anderson chased the male goats who were chasing the female goats. 

We tried to explain that they were merely hugging and liked the girls alot.

Then we learned from where the expression, "Get your ducks in a row" comes!

We had a great time.  That's all, folks.
