busy few days...

for those of you all wondering if we ever got our yard work done...YES WE DID!!! infact, my parents and fred and ashley and i worked most the day in the yard raking and picking up sticks (time for another fire in the pit) and trimming bushes a bit and pulling out a very large cactus plant (and my dad still has the needles in his hand to prove it).

the yard looks great (minus the twelve large bags of leaves laying in the front...what does one do with all those leaves in the spring when you live in susq. twp? will the garbage man take them?)

thanks go out to the "over 70" crowd that can still put in a hard days work!!! i am very grateful...it would have taken me a good week or so to get done what we accomplished in a day.

the update on ashley...toe recovering well.

the update on kelsey...i LOVE high school sports...i HATE high school sports rules and regulations regarding injuries. after one week of intensive physical therapy and the "go-ahead" to practice on monday there was a change of heart after the trainer noticed a touch sensitive area of her ankle bone...so off to the doctor today for x-rays!!!! i know that they have to be careful and look out for the best interest of the kids but i guess i think it would be better if last monday i would have gotten the x-rays and not the following tuesday!!! hopefully there will be no issues and she will be cleared to play soon!!!

spent the day in berwick yesterday...not one of my favorite trips but a necessary one. i stopped by fred's and gave him a lesson on using his e-mail and then we had a really nice lunch. then off to the place that sells "grave markers". the kids and i decided on a head stone for tim's grave and so i went up to order it and get that chore done. nothing too fancy...just plain and simple. kinda weird putting your own name on a head stone...but it is one less thing our kids have to take care of i guess. i am realizing that it is not very cheap to die...infact it is kinda ridiculous how much it cost for "stuff". now i think all i have to do is purchase "my space" in the ground. i have 6 months to buy the space next to tim or who knows who he may have as a neighbor!!!

well...gotta get the kids moving. then kelsey has a 9am doctors appt.

thanks for checking in.
