Please tell me that Spring might really be here this time!
They say there is to be no more overnight freezing temps---and no more snow, sleet, or other winter weather. I really do hope they are right!
I am leaving soon to go out of town and bring my middle daughter back with me to help get our garden going. (We do have covering planned for nights just in case).
This week I am asking that you share any lenses (1 or 2) that have to do with Spring--the season, gardening, flowers, events, etc. Maybe the weather will get the hint!
Please share any blog posts you have written in regard to squidoo as well over the past week.
Good Morning!
First thing this morning I finally got the anti-virus downloaded on the desktop downstairs. In the meantime while it loaded I got a lot of papers looked through on my desk.
Steve bought a salt water filtration system for the pool yesterday so I had to meet him at Wal Mart to get it to his house as well as 280 lbs of salt. I had him get the smaller kids one of those blow up pools while we were there. He's invited some of his cousins over tonight to swim and have a bbq. I told the grandkids they could come and swim too. However, it's been raining non-stop since I woke up. I hope it stops soon and the sun makes its appearance.
I re took the flower closeups of Starlas flowers and got the pics posted in a photo essay on gather. Flower Close-Ups--Photo Essay
I also got my other $25 in amazon in the mail from gather yesterday.
I need to look through my email for my $5 amazon from quickrewards, and I have a code for a day pass at winster which should get me enough today for the $5 there too. Then, I will get my bookshelf ordered!
I need to also get My Homeschoolbuy Auctions updated today too.
I'm off to get these things done. Have a good Saturday!

Good Morning. Looks like it's going to be a gorgeous day outside. High today is 83...however it then drops back in to the 70's for days after that and looks like more rain.
We got some flower seeds planted yesterday in front of the house. I found out the people next door have put their house on the market so we need to do what we can to clean up our yard to make it look better. I sure wish I could buy the house! My mom lived in an apartment there as a child while my grandpa built this house. Then my other grandma lived in another apartment there while I was growing up. When I was first married I lived in yet another apartment in the house. It's been years now since it was bought and turned into a one family home. Maybe it's just sentimental, or maybe it's because it's a HUGE house. They are only asking $83,000 which is an awesome price.
I didn't get to listing those items again on homeschoolbuy...will I get it done today? Stay tuned tomorrow to find out LOL
I need to, as I said, they won't sell if they aren't listed. I need to make some money to at least pay up the cable bill. I'm going to try to sell my old van for junk today to pay a fraction of what my bill is.
Steve called yesterday and I guess they want to do a big bbq at their place Sunday for Mother's Day. That will work, and also give everyone a chance to see the new house they bought. I will get with him more on it later today. I have a dr. appt. this afternoon and will call him to let him know how it went.
Someone posted on gather yesterday about a child excited that his father had finally bought him a gaming system but they had no games to go with it. An Atari 2600!! Well, we still have our old school Atari and boxes of games. I pulled out all the games and came up with 30 we have doubles of to send him. I hope he enjoys them and in the 30 are games like frogger, pac man and ms pacman, as well at some driving games, shooting games, word games, and bowling. My kids still have a blast playing the old Atari games from my childhood!
I better head out to get some other things done (like adding those books for sale) Have a great Thursday!

Good morning!
It's another busy day here. Right after I get off work I have to get Heather to her math tutoring. As soon as Heather is done we have to get Jasmine to her dentist appointment. Then, this evening is our first bowling league night! That I am looking forward to.
I found a van that I want to buy, now I just have to figure out how to come up with the $3000 I need LOL I guess wish me luck there! It is on a lot where I can pay $1000 down and $50 a week if I could figure that part out too.
Today's gather article I want to share is a flower photo essay.Summer Flowers--Photo Essay
I need to be on to piepoints and reallysmartdeals and whatever else I can get done before work. I will leave you today by saying...
Have a glorious day!
Marsha
