Life Lately
After being sick I'm way behind on the many things I wanted to accomplish this month. But instead of running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I just worked on things as I felt like it, including blog posts!
As I mentioned in March our oldest grandson 'D' drove up for his girlfriends birthday. He was here March 29th to April 5th. I sure do miss him.
'D' mom 'L' took her Florida state insurance license exam on the 2nd and passed! We're so proud of her!
Our youngest son 'M' turned 35 this month!
'L' and her hubby 'W' celebrated their anniversary this month and my niece celebrated a birthday. We have several birthdays coming up next month.
Thankfully tax season is over, WOOHOO... until next year, BOO!
How was your Easter? Do/did you get together with family/friends? We just hung around the house and worked on projects.
DH and I met up with friends from high school for lunch at the Capefear Vineyard & Winery . The weather was nice and the food was great! We also saw Elvis!

I used ChatGPT an AI to create this Beatrix Potter style rendering of our home. Isn't it cute? |
Oh Lookie here!
We're having a single car garage built! Cuz the double car garage isn't big enough...I really need to get rid of alot of 💩
I also did a spring refresh on the front porch, which will post next month.
We hired a friend (he has a lawn care business) of "M's" to put in new edging and replace the mulch out front.
