A Bit of News

I have a bit of news. I had the ultrasound on my heart and everything is looking good in that area. Thank goodness. No more signs of stroke, though I do have the odd off day. Many people are praying and that is good. 

Brandon started his summer job today and really enjoyed it. He worked the afternoon shift for only 4 hours, but got most of the tables set up for the plants. He will work again on Wednesday, morning shift, which will be 9 to 1 pm. That is his favourite shift. The supervisors who gave him such a hassle last year are both gone and the manager is really glad to have him back. He's working with the same young man who he's worked with the last two years. Tuesday we have to go and get our taxes done. We barely got in under the deadline, which is April 30th. We'll both be glad when they are done.

Hubby and I are planning a HUGE yard sale, so we have been working on that. Not exactly sure what weekend that will happen, but have to be prepared. We are also going to take some stuff to the community yard sale at my daughter's for June 4th. Hopefully we will be able to see our floors after that and the little shed will be empty, except for the things we are keeping. That will be only our most precious keepsakes and some furniture. 

Our purple hyacinth bloomed beautifully even though it was on the cool side and we had a little snow. I love them. We didn't get much fragrance this year because of the cold weather, but enjoyed them anyway. 

Our tulips are beginning to bud and I see there is one red one out. Our Oriental poppies are growing. We have two red ones and a white one. Will try to get pictures when they bloom. I love them. 

We will be busy working on polishing up the yard sale goods and sorting boxes that haven't been unpacked since we moved from our house five years ago. Guess if we haven't needed it this far we don't need it at all, so lots of things to sell. I'm sure I will come across a few things to keep. Haven't found the large family Bible yet, but will come across it. This house is packed to the roof and so is the storage unit. Hope we can get rid of it all. 

Talk soon. Take care, everyone
