So my friends and family can be up on life here in GR

'But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.'

Momma's Day

Mi momma es muy bueno. siiiiiii!
And with that, my use of the Spanish language has been exhausted.

We had a lovely Mother's Day, unfortunately I took zero photos. 
Zero. Zilch. Nada. 
I'm so disappointed in myself.  
I have a bit of an excuse in that I was hosting Peter's family, and in my humble opinion it was a beautiful spread! White and green grilled asparagus, maple roasted sweet potatoes, a five fruit salad, grilled smoked ham, and artisan bread. Topped off with a chocolate trifle dessert!

Audree took a photo of her and Peter's mom's matching dresses! too funny!

My mom came over in the evening for a little time to chat and catch up.  We've been like ships passing in the night lately.

Two good photos of the Queen Jean and me :)

Happy Momma's Day!

While the cat was away

my lovie went to town!! 
His farmer tattoo was probably showing.

A fresh patch of rocks behind the garage to keep the weeds at bay.

Cleared garden beds in the back

 and front :)

He also weeded, fertilized, and mowed!
Purr Purr Purr.  I am one happy kitty!

Delicious

'People who love to eat are always the best people.' - Julia Child

I spent the weekend in Boyne with my 'sisters'. We all love to think about, talk about, and enjoy food, so when I weekend with them, I can always count on it being a delicious time.

Breakfast - cinnamon rolls made with love on a very mini counter!

Got to see my main Mos man. No judging please, my hair was bonkers bc it was raining. #curlyhairprobz

A tasty coffee at North Perk and snack purchased at the Grain Train. I had chocolate covered quinoa bites. yum!

Mmm dinner! Split City on mac & cheese and a burger. Hot choco to wash dinner and the cold weather down!

We also did some shopping, chick flick watching, late night chatting, nails, hair, etc. 
All the stuff a good girls weekend is made of!

Supervised family visitation

This weekend Fran's birth family came to town, aka Marvin, Linds and Mos!  We had a delicious dinner at mom and dad's Friday. Saturday for breakfast they helped us explore our neighborhood.  We went to Fat Boy!  I've driven by it all my life, live two-tenths of a mile away, and had never been. Not anymore!


And there was some Fran time too. Reunited at last.

Sunday night we had supervised family time with the Taylor's too!  We were able to celebrate Audree's graduation from KVCC. Peter and I enjoyed time talking and celebrating her accomplishment.

Most of the gang

Fun weekend to all!

Spring will come

You ask: How do you know? How can you be so sure
Whippy Dip has been visited!  
It doesnt take being married to a lawyer to know that's hard evidence right there.

Speaking of that lawyer... Hey! It's no secret: photos I take, can and will be used on a blog near him!

Everyone had to have some.... she's worse than the pan handlers at Ann Street. Hops right on your lap!

Oh, we've also been eating asparagus like it's our job.  Just look at that lovely!

I keep repeating to myself, 'It cant last forever.' It cant, Spring and Summer WILL come!

Meowy Easter!

He is Risen!

It was a beautiful Easter Sunday, I'm so glad all the weather forecasts were wrong! Peter and I enjoyed time with both our families this weekend, and we both got in on the fun with our borrowed Easter Kitten :)

Love having her here!

Grandma made her world famous lemon meringue pie! How DOES she do it?!

He is Risen Indeed!

Welcome Marta K!

My newest niece decided last Thursday night to make her 'Late but worth the wait' appearance into the world.  We're so thrilled she's here safe and sound!  And can't wait to get some snugs in!




Welcome Marta Katherine!
