Happy Easter

Hoping and hopping that everyone has a very nice Easter! Chocolate Bunnies for everyone!

I will be leaving for South Carolina in a week....can't wait. The weather has got to be better than here. Looking forward to seeing everyone and getting out with my camera. Will have lots of photos to post when I return. 

See pictures below of Tim's little vacation to Chicago. He had a great time and got to see the collage and where Emma works plus all the sights downtown.

Happy Birthday Takeshi

Takeshi,

Best birthday wishes from us all!

My Kind of Town

 Recently, Tim visited Emma in Chicago where he got the grand tour from Emma. Tim took the train from Royal Oak, Mi. to Chicago.

 I love this picture in front of "The Bean".  You can see Emma, both front and back, and also see Tim taking the picture....cool.

Spring Break!

Renovations

 Tim has been painting and just general clean up of his house. Emma and I were there to visit and it really looks nice.

Painting and Planting

Before: There's Takeshi after spending all morning digging out 20 year old shrubs.

After: Porch cleaned and painted and new Azaleas planted. Black mulch has been added and still to come, all the little garden chachkies.

TB

 I'm sure that we all make up a budget but whether we stick to it or not is another story. Here is my Dad's budget from 1942, 2 years before I was born. I love looking at the little notebook that had all of his budgets. Can't believe how cheap everything was. $2 for the doctor, amazing! He kept track of everything even down to packs of cigarettes. A lesson to us all.

Girl Scouts

 There I am right in the middle. My Mom was our troop leader.
