Happy Father's Day!!



Happy Father's Day

to my Father,

my Father-in-law,

and the Father of my children.

We love you,

Sheila and the girls



Our Fathers


Our fathers toil with hands and heart

To make our lives complete.

They quietly brave the winter cold,

Endure the summer heat.

Our fathers' lives are busy, but

There's always time for us.

They boldly face the ups and downs

And seldom ever fuss.

Our fathers are the greatest dads.

We know you know this, too.

But thank you for the chance to share

Our love for them with you.

Weekend work...

Hello,

We worked in the back yard Saturday. We moved around a few plants and prepared the dirt. We are going to try to get the yard growing from seeds, if that doesn't work then we'll have to sod it. Hubby attached a thing, that he bought at Sears, to his lawn mower to help break up the soil a little. We had to get youngest daughter to stand on it as he pulled it around, and it could have still used some more weight on it...ha. I took a couple of pics of her on it but am forbidden from putting them on my blog...ha. Hubby cleaned out the garage on Sunday. I helped when I wasn't running errands. I put air in the tires of a bike "C" rides on occasion.

We haven't had any rain lately and it's starting to get near the 100's.

I'll go for now,
take care,
Sheila

Let me catch you up...

Hello,

We got the backyard sprinkler system put back in. Hubby trenched it and we put the pipes around, then he paid a guy from work to hook it all back up.

I met daughter at the Ford place yesterday after an appointment I had, to leave her car to get the oil changed and the tires rotated. We picked it up today. I spent quite a few hours cleaning out my vehicle today, getting ready to get a new one.

I also got the DVD of my daughter's graduation in the mail today. I watched part of it to see how it turned out. Brought a lump to my throat. It gave a much better view than what I was able to see at the actual graduation. During graduation practice they played the traditional pomp and circumstance music when they entered and exited, but at graduation when they were leaving they started playing 'Star Wars'. They all seemed to get a kick out of that. Even my youngest thought it was cool...ha.

I've also watched a couple of movies with youngest daughter, (she's not a big movie person...ha).
We watched 'Shutter' one night and then the oldest watched 'Mirrors' with us another night. 'Mirrors' had Keifer Sutherland in it. There's one called 'Caffeine' that I want to watch with 'J'. It has Katherine Heigl (Izzie from Grey's Anatomy) in it. It sounds cute.

I'll go now,
Have a great weekend,
Jack and Sherry have a safe trip,
Shawn, stay safe on your canoe trip,
Sheila

Peeping through the quarter-moon....

Hello All,

What a nice anniversary gift we got....not....ha. This was our backyard before....





This was after.......we had to have new field lines put in for our septic system...our house is only
4 years old. We had problems a couple of years ago, they repaired one line. Installers theory is they ran over the field lines after they were put in, while they were still building on the house.

We also are having to re-do our sprinkler system in back...
they did the septic work on June 1st and Hubby trenched the lines for the sprinkler system on Sunday.
So that is the fun we have been having.
Thanks for the Birthday wishes for Hubby. Poor cowboys had to ride a tractor instead of a trusty horse...ha.
Have a great day Everyone,
Sheila

Oops I did it again...

This is a picture of 'J' and her friend from Washington. They had their picture made with Britney Spears....impersonator. He was the one that was on 'America's Got Talent' last season. You can all get on to my daughter, she wanted to see if the video would fool you before I said who he was. Daughter had on her cap and stole from graduation.


Good night,
Sheila
