Girls gone wild

The high school girls got together tonight

Oh my did we have fun...
There was lots of
~reminiscing~
 
notice the school annuals

lots of catching up
These three got together the night before and two of them made it tonight

Our graduating class put up a facebook page
so everyone is starting to get back in touch
~what fun we had~
Patrice in the middle has been out of the county for
9 years
what we fun had talking travel...
I mean who has actually lived in Dubai?
HER!


These two I get to see frequently...Sharon on the right and I go all the way back to 2nd grade
Jolaine and I were due on the same day with our first child

After hours of talking , laughing and eating 
~Jill's mom makes the best damn cupcakes~
 well maybe drinking a little too...

they went home...
and while cleaning up
I was thinking of how lucky I am
~to have life long friends~
the kind that will be at your hospital bedside
plucking your chin hairs

Iron basket & a big ~wow~

We have been doing so much yard work
that I just had to snap some more pictures
of how things are finally progressing now that
we have had a few days of spring
notice I didn't say
~summer~


This was in the garage when we moved in
so this year I decided to do something
~with it~


~The back door~

where 99.9% of guests enter 
~our home~
see that little arch on the right
that's the door

no one can find our
~front door~
(that's another post)

well this back door area needs to be fun
for summer
~right~
(this was at the end of fall)

So the Hubs screwed in some wood
for the back
found some moss in the back yard
not hard to do in the soggy
~ Northwest ~

put in some really good soil
& plants
 a big screw in the wall
~voila~

a month ago

2 weeks ago


and today


Better right?
well since we've had very few days of
~sunshine~
I am happy with the progress

thanks for the help
~Hubs~
you know he's been so good with all this yard work
~this year~
he treated himself to a
father's day gift

it arrived today


now he really has work to do


forget the little basket stuff
he's got a
~big basket~
worth of work to do now!

It is kinda cute huh?

Linking up to


Happy 50th Brother Don

My baby Brother Don is 50
~Wow~
Where has the time gone?

We are a very close family...

I've been going through family pictures
~lately~
thought I would share some
for you
~brother~

Since you were the 3rd child
there weren't very many that I found
~of just you~
So this will be about us
~3 musketeers~


~I love this one of you and me~


Your the one with the teeth...


Tony was taller here
but that wouldn't last long
~I wonder why you didn't get the buzz cut on top~



The highschool years


The working years

~You and brother Tony have always been so close~








It's heartwarming to see



~You always loved cool cars~



and have a great sense of humor

You have such a beautiful family






I love this picture of our family
back in 2001

I love you brother and wish you lived closer
so we could do more of this..
