Hello family,
Well I think spring is officially here and there won't be anymore cold mornings. Darn! I should take pics of my flowers, they are just beautiful and certainly provide great therapy.

I still haven't put my pics from SLC on my computer, what's the matter with me?? Soon... That was such a wonderful vacation. It was a little short, but we certainly crammed as much as we could.

Dad and I are still working in the yard and on projects. Wait until you see his tables!! He's quite the craftsman. He's still working on his English class. I wish I had been so diligent! Hopefully it will pay off and he'll get an A. I certainly think he deserves it. He's worked very, very hard.

Grandma is still hanging in there. Her dementia is progressing, but what do you expect at 88? I just wish my "old" mom was with me. Her health is good, so for that I am very thankful.

Had a funny one happen on Thursday. We've been having a lot of trouble with the squirrels. I mean a lot. So I'm at Walmart and see these dynamite looking tubes that you light and put down the squirrel's hole. Well, we did the front yard hole, no big deal, smelled pretty bad, but no problem. Then dad decided to put one down the hole by the electrical box where the squirrels have dug a hole under our tub. Well, we both forgot that the person who installed that tub, didn't adequately fill in the gap between the tub and the counter. Yes, the fumes came through that gap and filled the house. I was running around opening windows, turning on fans, and of course was most concerned for the cat. Yes, we all went outside, but LuLu was stuck inside. Long story, but we all survived and yesterday we went to Home Depot and got some stuff that filled in the gap. Haven't heard anything from the squirrels, so I expect the next step will be the odors of cadivers. Funny, huh? Really though, I hate killing anything, but these squirrels were having a regular party in the attic and the window seat in the office. LuLu would sit under the air conditioning vents, because she could hear all the pitter pattering of little paws!!!

So, hope you're all doing great. Brianna, can't wait for you to get home! Looking forward to being together again. Love to all, mom.
