Our First Flower!

Today all of the snow on our main garden melted. Look what was waiting for us when we went outside to check out the yard tonight. Of course we had the camera with us.

(what good scrapbooker/blogger wouldn't?)

Is it true? Is spring really here?

We hope so!

Waiting For Spring!

These are some pictures we took last spring. We are waiting patiently for the snow to melt here. (HURRY UP WOULD YOU:)

It is supposed to be pretty warm out for a while now. It actually warmed up to the low 60's today.

We really love taking pictures of our gardens. These were taken with our new camera. It was very new to us last year. Now that we have practiced with the camera and all the settings we can't wait for the gardens to start blooming.

Someone Special!

Today is our good friend Rhonda's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Rhonda!!

What a great friendship we have had for many years. You are a great friend. We hope you enjoyed your day off and your birthday!!

Remember when we said I was doing a stitchery for someone special? This is it. I made it for Rhonda! ( sorry Julie )

If you click on the photo you can enlarge it to get a better look at it.

12 Years!!!

Today is my 12th anniversary at Walmart. I can't believe I have been there for that long. After working as a Cashier, a Department Manager, in the Cash Office, as a CSM, and as a floor associate I am finally working a job that I love. It only took 11 years! I enjoy my job in Floral so much that I don't mind going to work.

(Did I really just say that???)

Have a Smiley day!!!

Winter Time In New York!

When it's Winter time in New York,

And the gentle breezes blow,

About seventy miles an hour

And it's fifty-two below.

You can tell you're in New York

'cause the snow's up to your butt,

And you take a breath of Winter air

And your nose holes both freeze shut.

The weather here is wonderful,

So I guess I'll hang around,

I could NEVER leave New York,

My feet are frozen to the ground.

Are You Kidding Me???

There were some angry people in our household this afternoon......

The race was supposed to start at 1:30 and when we turned the TV on this is what channel 29 looked like. Our local Fox station out of Buffalo was having some technical difficulties. We were preparing to listen to the race on the radio (boring), but it came on at about 1:25.

Quotes from Nascar.com

"It's Jimmie's world"

"Johnson passes Stewart with three to go to win at Atlanta"

It's a good thing, I wouldn't want to miss Jimmie winning!!!

Sorry there are no recipe's this week (Julie), but Laurie had the flu this weekend so we didn't eat anything too exciting.

Drink!

These are a couple of our favorite drinks for this time of year.

We can't wait until McDonald's has Shamrock Shakes. It is too bad they only have them for a couple of weeks. (just like the Eggnog ones at Christmas time)

This is one of Chris's favorites, Green Beer. I don't see what the big deal is, it tastes the same as any other beer.

Have fun "Hunting"
