I was introduced to Fuchsia Day at Fred Meyer. I loved it! I got 10 plants for $6, 2 hangers with liners for $15, and FREE dirt to fill them. What a steal! You could even bring pots from home to get free dirt, AMAZING. Anyhow, I am SO happy to have 2 new hanging pots in the front of the house for less than the cost of one normally priced hanging plant. Can't wait for the blooms to arrive.
Our new niece Hannah Melissa Kelly arrived at 2am on Easter morning after only 2 pushes and 1 hour of labor. She weighed in at 6lbs 80z and was 18.5 inches long.
She is just so cuddly and warm.
Auntie Christine and Uncle Steve went to visit Easter evening at the hospital.
Proud Grammy and Pa.
I'm looking for new recipes all the time. This was was pretty easy to pull together and tasted good too. Made ravioli out of wanton wrappers and put and ricotta and spinach inside. Boiling them for 2-3 minutes was all it took. Kind of a white dinner, right? But it tasted good.
So did these brownies. Out of a box just wouldn't do for the mister in the house, so he whipped us up these beauties and me oh my boy oh boy were they TaStEy!
Now we go back in time a bit. Here is the mess at the beginning of our garage project.
This is the "work bench" that was left behind for us that was VERY wobbly and not satisfactory. Sorry for the air compressor blocking lots of the view.
Putting up uniform wall covering.
Working hard at installing one of around 7,000 new outlets in the garage. I may have exaggerated that number a bit, but not by much. Can you imagine why we would need so many? Neither can I, but Steve can :)
And beautiful outlets they are! Look how neat and tidy that all looks (well look beyond the clutter at the pretty new conduit along the wall).
Some how I don't have any "along the way" pictures of this build. But this is our NEW work bench built from scratch by Steve. Now this really is a thing of beauty.
Starting to move in... and SO much better than what was there before.
Don't all doggies duck tape their ears to prevent funny lookin' ears later on?
She wasn't very pleased with us. Can't you tell by her expression? But one week later and her ears are all fixed up so they won't crease and fly out when she is older.
Sleeping is still a favorite past time. She loves to be under foot at the dinner table.
A dog's life. Sometimes holding up your own head is just too much. I understand.That's April so far!
