Time Flies......

Wow.....I can't believe it's been nearly 2 weeks since my last post. We've been busy with the April Dinner, then Easter, then my birthday, and today, we've been getting ready for the Barclay Community Fundraiser. I had a wonderful birthday.....and thanks to everyone who sent cards, left birthday messages on the answering machine and posted birthday greetings on Geni & Facebook. I went shopping with Pam Stermer and spent most of the day in Temple, then at 3:15, we went to Lott to pick up Shannon & Ashley. Then we went to Rosebud for an ice cream at Diary Queen. Then John & I went back to Temple to eat at Casa Ole and we strolled the mall. I hope everyone had a great Easter and didn't get a tummy ache from eating too much candy! Rain update: We got over 2" of rain today and I believe we're in store for more tomorrow.

Internet and Opening Day

Yea.....our internet is fixed.....FINALLY! Being 4 days without internet was terrible! (even John missed it) You don't realize how much you use it until you lose it. (Ha Ha) Today, John went to the Texas Rangers baseball game....opening day. While he's not too much of a baseball fan, he did have a great time with his dad, brother, uncle, cousins and a few other of his cousin's friends. It's nice to get away for one day and spend time with family and friends....not so bad that the Rangers won too! Hope everyone has a great baseball/softball season!

Thanks to the Stermers

Yes....Thanks to the Stermers I'm able to give you an update. Last Thursday, early in the morning, a front came through and knocked out our internet. The repair man was supposed to come Friday, but never showed. Saturday evening, I found out that he was sent to the Coop....ugh! So I called at midnight and left a rather short message. He called me today around noon and said the repair man would be at our house in the morning.....I wanted to say, you mean TODAY...but I didn't. Anyway....we've had a busy weekend. Friday afternoon, I finished a quilt. I'll give you more details on it next week (It's going to someone on easter weekend.) Friday evening, we had a fish fry at our house with the Stermers. On Saturday, we washed chickens and made cakes & brownies for the April dinner. We went to church Saturday night and then went to the Go-Texan fundraiser in Westphalia. (We didn't win anything, but we did have a good steak dinner.) Sunday morning, the alarm went off at 4:30am and we were back at church at 5:00am. The first batch of chicken went in at 5:52am. We finished around 10am, so next year maybe we can sleep till 5:00am. We got home around noon and took a nap. This afternoon, John tilled the garden. (Oh yeah, the norther got here around 7:00am and the wind is blowing so hard.) It's supposed to freeze Tuesday morning....so please pray that the wind will be blowing...John said that it won't hurt the crops if it's windy. I'll update you with more pics once we get our internet working again. Happy Holy Week!
