Olympic Week

This week as been awesome watching the Olympics from Vancouver, BC.  I applaud all of those who have worked so hard to get there.  We have some amazing atheletes competing. Congratulations to all of those who have won medals.  Can't wait to see the closing ceremony next week!

This was also Bunco week!  We enjoyed a great night over at the Braswell's house.  And Amy had the theme of the Olympics, too.  Good job Amy!  We had so much fun and can't wait until next month.  It will be at my house.  Still trying to decide on what kind of theme to have - maybe St. Patrick's Day!  We'll see.

Well, John and I got outside today - it was beautiful!  We finally got around to taking down the top from the messed up gazebo.  We are still undecided whether to replace the bent pieces of frame and top or just to buy a large umbrella to go over the table.  Ikea has a nice 13 ft. umbrella at a very reasonable price, so we might go in that direction.  We also had to drain some water off of the pool cover today.  All that melted snow left quite a bit of water to deal with.  We didn't get it all off, but the majority of it is gone now.  Believe it or not, we still have a little bit of snow in the front yard right up next to the house. I guess that area does not see much sunshine, but I would have thought with the rising temps it would have melted by now.  Tomorrow is supposed to be a little warmer, so maybe it will disappear then.  I am so ready for spring! :)

We are stilll trying to sell the house and will probably list with another agent in the next few weeks.  We still have the old sign in the yard, but that contract has run out.  Hopefully we can get things moving here in the next little while.  We really would like to start on the new shop soon.  Starting on the shop means getting closer to being near our church and friends and eventually in the new house.  Can't wait!
