Spring Recap

Recently my blog has fallen victim to the busyness of my life.   I had been puzzled by how busy I have felt since I thought, “I used to do all these things and it didn’t feel this busy.”  And then I realized that the big time crunch has come from my monthly trips to Indianapolis to help my aunt and uncle.  When you take 5 or 6 days out of your month it makes a difference.

Another reason my blog has suffered is because continued writing is a struggle.  It isn’t always easy to have something worth writing about.

As I wind up the school year and look forward to heading to Canada, I know that there will be much to say, so you will once again find me here, sharing what’s going on in my life.

Let me start with a recap of some recent events…

Will got his private pilot’s license and took me up as his first passenger.  We had a fun flight to Rockwood and back on a very nice day for flying.  You’ll find more pictures of our flight on my Facebook page.  The next passenger he took up was Sharon Reno, a friend from high school.  That flight was eventful in that when they returned for landing at Middle Valley another plane had had an accident (not serious) on the runway and was blocking the runway for all other planes.  Will and Sharon had to land in Dayton and had to have Mr. Reno come and pick them up since their cars were at Middle Valley. 

We quietly celebrated three birthdays...

Phil and I each had our own lunch date with Kathryn.
It was so much fun to have some one-on-one time with her.

My dad turned 77.  I still owe him a birthday dinner!

Will with his monster chocolate cake.
He once again was unable to blow out all the candles on his cake.

Phil has finished another room in our continuing home makeover.  Paint and new flooring make a world of difference.

It's empty now but not for long.  Love the green walls!

We had a baby shower for my niece Bethany who is due in May.  So happy to share a part in preparing for this new baby's arrival into this wonderful world!

And fishing, there’s been a lot of fishing and eating of fish in our home this spring. 

Phil with an unusual catch for around here... big crappie
and a walleye.  He loves fishing so much.
