Done and Done!

  • Taxes. Check.

  • Submissions for Trisha's law school scholarship even-though-"child"-is-now-a-full-grown-adult-and-MARRIED. Check.

    YAY! What a relief to have these monkeys off my back and it's still February!

    And amazingly, I'm not sure how it happened, but we are getting a refund. A good-sized one. I had some unexpected things last yaer and thought I was really in for it, but I was wrong. WHEW!!! Big sigh of relief there.

    Oh, we are also getting the backyard done. Finally. Have only had a patio and dirt and a pool during the summer. So the race is on to get everything in before the hot weather hits. Had trees/plants put in this month. Part of yard pictured here with our human sprinkler.


    And, in a totally unrelated note, we had our Cub Scout Blue & Gold dinner last night (Lloyd and I are Cubmasters -- try not to laugh). The Cub Scouts were each supposed to make a cake celebrating Scouts with their parents. Now, I don't know how much the boy actually did on this cake, *I* couldn't even come close to something so nice, but it was awesome and won! (Don't know if you can see this, but those are sleeping bags with pillows with a campfire in the middle and pine trees and "rocks".)

    It will be so nice to get your yard done, you will use it so much more! And what a nice mommy you are to help fill out scholarship applications. I don't think my mom even helped in high school. She probably deemed it a "learning experience". :)
