ENJOYING THE SOME WHAT NICER DAYS. MORE SUN PLEASE!

One day two weeks ago, Bob was invited to go fishing but due to ice covered roads they left two hours later than planned.   He caught a nice trout and was very happy.  

NICE BROWN TROUT

This week, Bob and his buddies went fishing three days.  Bob caught another the first day, and then the bait didn't produce a nibble.  (For some unknown reason)  

ANOTHER BROWN

While he is off fishing, I head for my craft room.  I have a new sewing idea.  I'm making chicken pin cushions.  There not very big but they are cute.  Perhaps they can be sold to make funds for a charity.  Using up fabric where I can!

MINI CHICKEN PIN CUSHIONS

Bob has a request for one of the family traditional Easter baskets that he makes with wood.  At one time, he had said that he didn't want to make anymore.   He hunted all over for the pattern; garage attic, garage file cabinet, in the house to no avail.  Eventually deciding he must have taken it to the shed for storage last year.  

The shed doors were buried in a snow drift so he went about using the snow blower to make a path.  He worked so hard.  The next day he was going out again to work on it so I went along as I knew he wouldn't give up until he could open the doors.  The drift needed broken down or lowered to go into the blower.  We broke the door free but not before we were soaked in the wet snow that had started to fall.  

NOT FUN!

He went for the wood while I went grocery shopping last week and as soon as it was in the garage, he started cutting up the pattern pieces.  He needed a project.  

TOO BUSY TO COME TO SUPPER!

HE FOUND SARAH'S BASKET BUT THE PATTERN WASN'T IN IT.  HE HAD  TO TRACE SARAH'S.

BETSY DOES THE ART WORK.


One of the nice afternoon's, Bob started removing the ice from roof and the down sprout.  It was frozen solid!


IT DOESN'T LEAK IN
THE LAUNDRY ROOM ANYMORE

Let's hope Friday the 13th is a lucky one this year.  Grandson Alex and his wife, Erin signed the papers for their new home on the 13th.

We talked with them using Face Time on Saturday and Alex showed us the whole house.  It's bigger than ours.  It''s more than a starter home.  Erin's Mom and Dad were still there helping them move in.   Alex is now assigned to McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita.  

Betsy, David and Donna, Debbie, Christianna and Lorenzo was here Saturday and we had a LUNCH MEAT PARTY.   Donna had a wood project for Bob so he and David worked on that while the ladies adored Lorenzo.

Donna is doing some new decorating and wanted this shelf.  David will finish it and put coat hooks on it.  

Lorenzo pulls himself up now.  

Betsy went to the cupboard to get toys for him.  We still had the foam blocks from when our grand kids were small.  Probably 22 years ago.  Lorenzo enjoyed them.  When Christianna saw that, she went for her phone, dialed up Amazon, and found the same thing to order to put in his Easter basket.  Amazing techie world!

He puts the blocks in his Easter basket.  

He is such a happy baby, we sure enjoyed the visit.

We are looking forward to more nice days.  THINK SPRING!

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a good one!
