Seems like spring is just around the corner, we have tulips blooming and just planted peas, beans, spinach and lettuce a few days ago. Richard’s garlic is growing well already, he planted it last fall. Richard has a great compost program and it has paid off. The ground looks rich and ready for all those veggies. We are going to try our own version of hanging tomato plants upside down in buckets and see what happens.
The granddaughters just bought two chicks as pets and we added them to the pink, green and blue ones we have. Our laying hen must have lost interest… we lost all of our twelve eggs, Richard opened them and found only about four that were forming and they had died.
Sherry finally got her book “Molly” transferred to a different computer using a Pocket Media drive and so she doesn’t have to retype the whole thing… maybe she will find time to finish it. This weekend she set up a computer at Richard’s Mom and Dad’s for them. They got a great deal on a display model at Sam’s club.
Sherry has been talking and talking about Susan Boyle. What a great voice!!! Sherry was at the doctor’s office in Greeley and that is who they are talking about too. Scottish women are not known for their beauty, Sherry’s grandmother is from Scotland and they are strong, working women.
Got Logan’s hair cut done. He sat still for most of it, I used the scissors but it makes the hair cut uneven. He looks like a rodent… He is our Maltese from the Mill Dog Rescue in Colorado Springs.
In Greeley we were able to get cream from the Health Food Store, I also got Mung beans and am trying to sprout them.
Great day for Chili, I made a big batch and will take some to the church tomorrow for a pot luck luncheon as Robert Lowery will be a guest speaker. Richard used some and he seasons his very HOT!
I was thinking about making a pan of cornbread but decided on crackers instead. I think we will have tacos for supper.
This last week was really special for Sherry, her birthday was on Resurrection Sunday and she decided to get baptised on the same day. A friend, Amy, was baptised on her birthday in March, so Sherry thought that was a great idea and followed along. Sherry had a doctor’s appointment in Greeley on the 15th and so surgery will be on the 12 of May.
On the 16th of April, Sherry celebrated her 27th year of Sobriety. Although she doesn’t get to attend meetings very often, it is always on her mind. Her wanting to help people led her to apply for and get her Ministers license in Feb. There are sometimes people who need a minister but shy away from a church leader.
So that is what is happening in our world… Keep safe and be happy.
Richard and Sherry
