Hard to believe but we celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary in fine fashion here at the ole Steed farmette. Bird watched, planted, weeded, etc ...you know all the things we usually do on the weekend...lol.
It was another anniversary for me as well...my 33rd year as a nurse at NHRMC...now that just blows me away. Dang, who would have thought!
La was officially awarded her Doctorate this morning.
I don't think I will ever be able to comprehend how hard she worked or the countless hours she spent in the lab.
And through it all has remained a wonderful, talented, funny and beautiful young lady.
Proud...you bet!
Happy for her...even more so!
Heart bursting with love....best believe it!
Love you La!
What in the world!
Completely neglected to do my annual birthday tribute to my middle child. Laurie did such an awesome job on hers that I was smiling the whole time I was reading. But hey, that doesn't let me or him off the hook.
So lets begin by saying just the other day I was talking about Aaronus to my manager and in doing so I mentioned his love of lists.
He was such the little list maker.
Dinosaurs...species...size....diet....check.
Solar system....planets...size...facts....check.
NBA teams....city....colors....record....check.
State capitals....check
Countries and their capitals....check.
Gi Joes....name...speciality....weapon....check.
Memories that have me smiling all over again. Yes, he was such a little list maker.
Happy 24th son!
I've had a new blog for a while...Simplelifesforme.blogspot.com.
Decided I needed to keep the garden and small house dreams over there.
Hoping soon the small house will be a reality...it's in the planning stages. There's a really cute on on the small house blog this week featuring a young couple. Inspirational!
Well it's the biggest catfish I've ever seen. Caught at the Lock and Dam #2 by none other than Trevor.
He came home, we took some pictures and then he proceeded to filet it into large pieces. It took 2 gallon size bags to hold all the meat.
Preety amazing!
Sunflowers planted by the birds....
Lettuce planted in plastic storage containers.....
Lettuce planted in recycled fencing turned into raised bed....
Potatoes coming up.....
Spring is certainly here...birds are singing, weeds are popping up and my little garden is awakening.
All is well!
Well, it's been 13 days since Aaron and Kayla packed up the car and headed west. West to Texas that is. They have a small apartment and life is good.
Ahh, enjoy it my son, these will be the days you remember so fondly.
I often say, Monty and I were our happiest when we had nothing but a small apartment.(What I mean by that is when you own a house.. along with it comes taxes, mortgage, upkeep and responsibility)(Not that we were irresponsible but it was kinda nice not being tied down to anything).
I personally have never been to Texas, but I know my parents went there back in the 50's. I have a picture of my Dad roping a steer. I never ask him much about that trip, wish I had now of course. The only thing I know is they went there to visit my Aunt Vada, my Mom's sister.
Ah, but I digress. Back to Texas, where everything is big. Wonder where that saying came from? It is a pretty big state and they do wear pretty big hats.
Hmmm...probably has something to do from back in the days of the cowboy.
