Why should facebook get all the action?

I guess I need to post what the heck we are doing around here.  Loving the April weather that's what.

Pictures from our Backyard.

Gainesville in January

Thought you might enjoy looking at your home in Gainesville. Flowers are blooming, leaves coming back to the oaks and crape myrtles. A little different than New Mexico.

 

Oh and today I walked by the other.

Orlando 2012

It was super wonderful vacation.  A once in a lifetime experience to be with our family and these little grandsons of ours.  Each little boy is so special and different.  Cole I am so impressed at how brilliant you are and what a good role model you are for Luke and Dexter.  Dexter you are like the New Mexico wind! Super Fast!  Grandfather loves every second that I can keep up with you.  Luke you are so loving and warm that it gives us all hope for a brighter tomorrow.  When things are not going your way, stop and think back to the joy and love we all shared this week.

  The show at Medieval Times was terrific (Thank you Ali and Dan).  But we picked the wrong Knight. 

I had to post this picture of the worst place to eat in downtown Disney (well if you have 3 year olds and they are terrified of live dinosaurs. I think Jeff is saying "Did you pick this place???"

Mom's minutes at Gainesville home

Saturday August 4 Mom was taken from the Village of Osprey to the City of Gainesville and got the 15 minute tour of our Gainesville home.  We took pictures to prove to her we drove there and back without having to rent a room for the night - for the driver.

Love all

New Mexico 2012

NEW MEXICO 5-27/6-7/12
Dan and Ali took a week long cruise to Alaska and I got to come to NM and babysit Dexter, Ophelia, and Bosley.    It was a great time!   The dogs were OK but Dexter was outstanding!   He was terrific to be with—wonderful to have him talking so much.   We had fun reading, going to the parks, taking walks, going to the zoo, and, of course, riding the bike.  Thankfully Allan came for 5 days around the weekend so he was able to ride bikes with Dexter (I’m not a biker) and Dex rides so fast that it is impossible to keep up just walking.   He never once had a potty mishap proving what a big boy he has become.    We baked banana bread and Dex got out all the ingredients and helped, helped, helped.   It was yummy!  

This was the prettiest NM has seemed to me with so many trees and shrubs in bloom.  While Dex was in school on Friday Allan and I took a road trip through the surrounding area finding the delightfully  artsy small town of Madrid full of fun shops and people playing music as we walked around.  This was a spot to return to next time.  Dan and Ali had a great trip, too.   So, it was a wonderful time for all of us!
