The West Corner of the World

Welcome to the West blog, it’s been awhile  since an update so I’ll fill in the gaps.  We (Mom, myself, & Allison) made a trip to meet Cathy in a far away town, where people wait on us…and we cool our toes by the pool..

Here is Cathy and Allison…guess what they just did?!?

Then there is the Mama, oh she was a “Big Winner”,,,

Can I just say that I enjoy being with these women…they are so much fun!

Allison was being silly…imagine that!!!

Mother & Daughter

When we got home Jim & I headed for southern Oregon to see our grandson, the jockey!!!!  We enjoyed watching Bryson with the horses…

Jim was one proud Papa!!!

Jim giving Bry a “leg up”…  it was so hot there, we enjoyed  our time by the pool & Bry hung out with his Papa & Gram…and may I just say, to paraphrase the Mama….”And a great time was had by all!”

The crack of the bat, the blooming of my japanese maple; not to mention all the robins showing up, are definite signs of spring!  Oh, how grateful I am for the warming of the days & the wonderfully warm sun!  It’s glorious, I tell you, God’s grace extended to us.

May 7th was the National Day of Prayer.  In our community, we had the priviledge of coming together for one hour & praying for the leaders of our country, state & city.  How great it is to be able to gather together & pray with like minded people for our country.

Here are some of the signs of spring I found today!

And then…

Aren't they pretty?

Also….these…

I do believe that spring has arrived!

We have finally had some dry days so that we can mow the lawn, Jim is on the rider & I use the self propelled to get next to the fence…Molly, the pug, attacks the mower, she does that also with the vacuum cleaner….Here they are enjoying the sun…

Hilde (aka Tilbe, Hilbe) & Molly

Spring has sprung, finally in the Pacific Northwest & oh how beautiful it is here…We love the warmth of the sunshine, not to mention the moss between our toes is drying out..hehe!

Now is vacation time for the next two weeks & I am sooo ready.  We are excited to have Jim’s sister, Cathy with us for awhile, and we get to go visit our grandson, Bryson, the jockey!  Life is good…
