Had another nice breakfast with Linda M. yesterday. She loved the centerpieces and gave me the card box, 7 church arrangements and 2 huge wreaths for the church. Will be busy. I also finished up the first of Wendy B's order. They were just stickers for her petal cones but they are finished and look nice.
Dogs have been in and out. Since it has rained, we have to wash paws when they come in. Brody tolerates it but Emma....no way jose. She throws a royal fit! So what else is new...what a hellion she is.

Spring game was yesterday so Mandi and Jeremy were happy to watch OSU football again. Jeremy wants one of the pink jersey's they are auctioning off for Speilman fund. Ha Ha they are a little expensive as I was sure they would be for such a good cause.

Somehow I managed to chip my front tooth yesterday...go figure. I hope Dr. John is in on Mon. and can fit me in to fix it!!

Hoping the weather gets the rain out of its system and the sunshine returns for this week.

Our fence is up! YIPEE~the dogs ran and ran and ran tonight.Happy happy dogs!! They (and we) should sleep well tonight. Just let them out for a final call and it was so great to just open the door and they went out on their own...no more leashes and walking in the dark.
I finished my 4th yoga class tonight. Patty recommended I try it and I am so glad I took her advise. My knees are 100%++ better. Lynn, the teacher, says she is not going to do weekly classes during the summer but may do some monthly meetings. Guess I will have to keep up by doing on line classes...not as much fun. The group is all middle aged and we all have the same aches and pains. :) Lots of laughs as we work.
Beautiful weather lately....little cold in the AM but nice by noon. Hope to have the dogs out most of the day tomorrow. I need to clean the carpets....:(.

Here are pictures of what I've been doing for the past week or so. Linda Martin's stepdaughter is getting married in June. These are the favor boxes I made for her....300 of them! And then I had to "purple up" the little candle holders for her with some flowers. I only have 30 of them to do. I love having something to do besides housework that is...lol. She seems very happy with my work so that is good.
This week I see Wendy Bowen for my massage and I am going to get an order for things for her daughter's wedding in May. So when you ask if I am keeping busy...YES!

Emma continues to grown and learn new tricks. Like dragging the toilet paper roll down the hallway, chewing up anything she can get her paws on and pestering Brody to death. They have had a wonderful time on the deck all weekend and have slept all night...yeah!

Pat has the doggie door and steps finished so now we are waiting on the fence to be installed. Can't wait!

New picture of Mandi and Jeremy. Mandi posted some new ones on fb. Happy happy couple.

Had a very quiet Easter. Dinner with Mert and Bill and then spent the day doing nothing with the dogs at home. They love being on the deck...just wait til they get the new fenced in yard. Talked to Jeremy and he is very excited about going to Savannah on Tuesday and then to the Masters on Thurs. or Fri. He will be visiting several friends that he hasn't seen in some time. Both are in the wedding. Mandi is not joining him on this vacation. She decided to spend her spring break relaxing and helping Holly with her wedding "stuff".
Emma went to the vet on Sat. She is up to a whopping 6.5 pounds. A real dynamo! Housebreaking is coming but VERY slowly...sigh. It took Brody some time to get it so I guess we can deal with the same from her. The doggie door to the new fenced in yard will help with this too. :)
Pat has been doing some yard work to prep for the fence. He has to get some supplies to make the steps and will get those finished soon. I have completed all 300 of Linda Martin's wedding favors. I hope her step daughter will like them. I am having breakfast with Linda on Sat. so will deliver them then and then help her decide on the centerpieces.
Only a few weeks left for you school folks. Enjoy the warm weather..the kids can be outside to blow off some steam! YEA!

Today it has been 9 years since I lost my mom. I miss her everyday. SO many times I want to pick up the phone to share news with her.

Emma continues to grow and drive us nuts with the house training...lol. She is 14 weeks old so she has time. Good days and bad but we will get there. Brody and her are still best buds.

Doing laundry and making cookies today. Got some new towels and just ordered new bath mats. Times to update the bathroom a bit. After a few years towels just look dingy and need replaced.

Pat ordered the fence last Monday and it will be ready in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to see the dogs run free in the fenced in area. Should make our life easier as well.

Warm, sunshiny day....bring it on!!!
Here is a new picture of Emma enjoying the fat boy on the deck.
