Spring Prom

We went to help chaperone a formal type dance at the church- usually Philip wears a suite and tie. Well, last year one of the men (Pres.) wore a bow tie and Philip said that's what I've got to get. We spend a good part of Saturday looking for a tie and hankie thing, finally found one that would work. Then the work began, this wasn't no ordinary bow tie already tied- you had to tie it yourself, that created the problem. He spent about 1 1/2 hrs. in front of the mirror trying to follow the written instructions the store had given him-it was a no go. Then we tried UTUBE (for another 1/2 hr.) there sure is a lot of stuff on tying bow ties-at first that didn't work either, as you can't watch the picture and see what your doing. We fixed that problem with a mirror in front of the computer screen.

This is the result- isn't he lookin good??

Yard Work

Philip was sick and stayed home sleeping & watching TV - QVC- BAD idea. We now have 5 rose bushes- and no place to put them. So we asked Ian to build a rose trevis and this is the beauty that we ended up with- it's perfect. As the kids living out of town were wondering what it looked like here you go. Also,Philip & I have been busy beaver- since the deer demolished our garden last year and Ian made this great fence we decided to move the garden into the fence area - it's been about 3 weeks - so far no deer have gotten in not even into our Hosta's - could this have been what we should have done 9 years ago?????

Those plants growing off the side of the screen porch our tomatoes- we made out own topsey turfey tomate planter with those big plastic buckets, we just drilled holes in the bottom & sides- some of the bottom ones died, put on a whole they look great

Mackenzie's Pre-school music & art show

Wade & Rachel's daughter - she's the onein the pink pants and white Tshirt with the butterfly on. Mackenzie (3 yrs) is now finished with pre-school until the fall. This little girl loves to sing and proved it again on this day.

Daytona Beach Florida

Had a working holladay in Daytona - learned a bunch of interesting things for the business, but was able to relax- somewhat.

Charleston, SC

We had a great time in Charleston South Carolina- we were on our way to a trade show and headed out early to visit this charming town. It's right on the ocean, has cobblestone streets, horse drawn carriages and great sea food.
