New Patio Set


After some rainy days late last week, this weekend sure was a change for the better. The temperature was near 80 degrees in Lincoln today! Having a strong case of "spring fever" on Saturday afternoon, Mike and I purchased a patio set for our back patio. The first chair only took Mike 45 minutes to put together. Thank goodness he picked up the pace from there or we would have been grilling in the dark. After construction was complete, we relaxed in our chairs and had a beer together. No sign of mosquitos yet. I hope they know not to cross the Minnesota border. Aside from patio set shopping, Mike found time to get in his first round of golf this season. He fared well with an 88. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Off to the work week!

Birthday Fun & Busy Schedules


Where have we been, you ask? I was actually quite convinced that no one was reading our blogspot, but my husband mentioned a few of you have wondered why no recent updates. Just what I needed - a little motivation to get me rollin' again.

What has transpired in the past six weeks? We've been celebrating Easter, Lisa's birthday and Al & Crystal's wedding. Our trip to Minnesota was cut short Monday morning as we ducted out just in time to beat the 'rest' of the snowstorm. The first hour of travel was a bit unnerving. We were never so glad to get to Iowa.

Here's a picture of the birthday girl. The wonderful cake is compliments of my mom. It tasted as good as it looked!
