There is so much I want to do to our yard. We had just cleaned up all the winter leaves and mowed the lawn. I can't wait for my roses to start blooming. I have climbing roses around each pillar along my porch. All different colors.
Katie wanted a strawberry plant. She is very excited to grow some yummy berries. We can't wait for more sunshine.
Saturday I finally used my certificate for a 1/2 day spa. It was my Mother's Day gift last year. Time just flew by and I realized I better use it or it will expire. So I spent the morning being pampered with a facial, then a pedicure. A light lunch and then off for a full body Swedish massage. Wow. That was awesome. Later on my Mom and Katie and I went to eat at the Old Mill Cafe next to the spa place. Both places are right on the corner near my house. Very nice. Then we ventured off to find Al's garden center in Gresham. It's not as big as the one in Sherwood, but it has gorgeous plants and flowers. My mom got me a Heliotrope flower. It is so pretty and fragrant.
Becky and Miranda left this morning for the school Leadership conference in Eugene. They asked Becky to sing the national anthem, but someone else had already signed up. So she has been asked to sing for the crowd anyway. She is singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow. The Katherine McPhee version. Of course she sounds beautiful. She will sing in front of about 700 students and teachers from all over Oregon at the Hilton in Eugene. Wow. What an experience for a 14yr old girl. She is still reeling from the school talent show. The girls are going to try and film it. I'm sure though that someone will have a video camera going so as soon as we get a copy I'll post it.
I've got another interview on Monday. So we shall see. Getting geared up for the Relay for Life. Another family friend has been diagnosed and is terminal. They gave him 2-3months. If you are interested in donating items for our garage sales (email me) or donating online please do. No amount is too small. Here is the link to our team site. You are welcome to come out and experience this incredible event. Thank you so much.
