• Gorgeous Saturday

  We've had so much rain this week  (actually, for 2 weeks) and such dark skies; but, today brings a welcomed crisp, clear, blue sky with sun pouring down on us in huge streams.  It will make it hot and muggy (due to the recent rains), but everyone is ready to pull out some perky, summer colors and light weight clothing!

  This morning, Jesse left to mow some lawns (still playing catch up) and will be home sometime this afternoon.  I have kept up with the housework pretty well this week despite all of the errands, appointments, and shopping "excursions" that caused me to be away from the house!  I'm finishing up Luci's and my laundry now.  Then, I will only have my bedroom to vacuum and our tub to clean.

  JanaLyn spent the night and will be here all day with the girls until her Dad picks her up after work this evening.  Because of the beautiful day, I'm thinking about making a potato salad and some deviled eggs to go with chicken charcoaled outside.  I guess it's my way of kicking off the warm weather season.  I've put it off and put it off, but I think the chilly days are behind us and it's time to act like it!

  Our new bird, Tangi Tango, is chirping away in the den.  She's trying to mimic my sentence, "Who's a pretty bird?" and has the rhythm down perfectly but isn't enunciating yet.  We've only had her one week and she's done very well with us.  Already hops on my finger when I give her that command.  She learned that the first time I worked with her.  I take her in the little bathroom with me when I take a shower to let her get some exercise flying and I spend time handling her.

  Marcus is sleeping late this morning and I have no idea how he is able to do that.  The four little girls are giggling and being so silly and VERY LOUD!  But, he's a teenager and I remember those days of vacuum cleaners being used around my bed as I slept deeply!  Now, a sneeze from the girls' bedroom can wake me up and I have difficulty falling back to sleep! 

  I'm expecting Jesse's brother, Frank, to be here soon to drop off a truck.  Sharon is with him and they are traveling in two vehicles, for some reason, on their way to visit her mother for Mother's Day tomorrow.  Guess I should get dressed and quit being so lazy!
