Time for a Fix-Up

This poor little greenhouse was in bad need of some TLC. It had served us well the past few years...keeping our tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers from freezing in the lovely Bancroft climate. But the snow, wind, and rain had a done a number on it. The kids all pooled their money and bought materials for a remodel job for Mother's Day. I really loved the thoughtful gift. Roy was down for all the labor. That's what he gets for being so good at everything "construction." Val helped a lot, too.

Before....

After...
The vegetables are all planted on the inside. Some are planted outside, others will have to wait another week or so. Only the strong survive around here!

Indee's Day and Mother's Day

It was a big day for Indee and the Williams family last Saturday. She was so cute, and so excited about her baptism. Lataun did a great job of putting everything altogether, including this cute program.

Roy got sick that day, and didn't even get to go. What a disappointment for Indee. She and her grandpa have an extra special bond going on. Indee asked him to speak at her baptism, but Val had to fill in. He did a great job.

I made her dress. It was fun...I don't really get to sew clothes much anymore. She picked out the fabric. The bodice under the little jacket was sparkly...she loves sparkles.

The next day, Mother's Day, found all the guys stepping up to the plate and cooking dinner for the girls. They made breakfast, for dinner. It was yummy. Chad made meat and potatoes...

Val made pancakes and waffles....and Faren was in charge of eggs. I don't know about you, but I love to see men working in the kitchen! It does my heart good!

Taun was in charge of taking it easy! The rest of the women in the house were doing the same thing. It was great!
