Hi everyone!

Kicker, that was a sweet thing you did for your-or not your-cat. Kitty, you said something very profound-Kicker was the cat's human...loved it.

Been busy since coming home from Hawaii last month. Lots of grand baby sitting and visiting. Went to Denver for eight days to see DS2 and his family. We don't get to see them much so it was nice to spend time with our 2 grand babies there.

We are going up to the lake house over the weekend. Haven't been up since September so we are looking forward to it. The lake ice melted early due to the warm winter/spring, so SIL is coming over for a couple of days to help put the pier in the water. We have a few things to finish in the house, like the floor in the basement, wood trim around the floors, installing a second shower, and getting a washer/dryer, which would be heavenly, since the laundromat charges an arm and a leg.

We are also planning to have a patio installed in the new yard at home. We planted some azaleas, spirea and hydrangeas as well as a few dogwood shrubs to liven things up a bit. I miss my old yard-except taking care of the koi pond. We have a nice natural pond out back that we can enjoy without the labor and stress

Hope everyone is doing well...
