I got that big pile of
leaves raked up and carted out of the front yard last week and just
as I suspected, the grandson was so occupied doing other fun things
in the yard in the pretty warm weather we were enjoying that he
didn't even notice they were gone. Or if he did notice, he didn't
care. Now I just need to get the rest of the yard raked and mow it
before Easter. Sometimes I get it done and sometimes not. Easter is
later this year so I might actually get it done in time.
We aren't party people but
we sure partied over the weekend. Garrett turned three on Saturday
and we had a big birthday party. All the family got to come and
enjoyed watching Garrett open presents and blow out the candle on the
cake. His mom and dad got him a new little battery powered toy
4-wheeler so I am expecting a lot of walking/running beside him while
he is on it to keep him from leaving the country! On Sunday he
visited his other grandparents, Cody and Carrie Jenkins, and also
Ivan Lawson, and had another party with more cake and presents so I'm
sure he is partied out!
The benefit for Wanda
Whitaker last Saturday was well attended and raised a good amount of
money for Wanda. Wanda lost her home to a fire several weeks ago and
has been living with her sister in Ozark. Hopefully she will be able
to move home soon. We share a back fence with Wanda, and she has
always been a wonderful neighbor. We are so glad to live in an area
that responds so generously when someone is in need.
Laramie Joe and Mesa Mae,
beautiful little twin sisters and daughters of Wendy (Silvey) Cash,
had their first birthday party on Sunday. I didn't get to attend but
it looked like a wonderful party with lots of good food and
fellowship. It looked like the twins were enjoying their presents and
all the people who were celebrating their birthday with them.
Donna Sloan has good news,
she will probably get to return to her home in Garrison this week
after staying in the nursing home at Ava for the past few weeks for
rehab. Donna fell a few weeks ago and fractured a couple of vertebrae
in her back.
Baseball and softball
games will be starting soon and we have a granddaughter playing this
year so we will be making the trips to watch. I enjoy going to these
games and hopefully the weather will be nice. I've been to a few when
it was spitting snow and didn't enjoy those so much.

Mooney, Sara Ridings; March 29: Wanda Cavner, Andrew Lovelace; March
30: Sherry Henning, Elijah Nelson, Hailee Norwine; March 31: Kayla
