We went to KC to see my family for Easter weekend, we actually went out a day or so early so that we could really utilize our time at my grandma's house. Turns out it was a total God idea because she ended up in the hospital just days before for high blood pressure. She got out just a day before we got there. We went to clean her house and help her finally get things taken to donate and give her some relief. My dad didn't realize how easy it would actually be, we got rid of two chairs and two vanloads full of stuff in about 24 hours. My dad was exhausted! He said he wasn't used to this much physical labor, I said now that he knew the issue it was time to find a resolution to that problem! I was thrilled with the things we were able to do for my grandma and plan to help her again when we go down again for Memorial weekend. Since she is 90 we are all starting to realize that we need to make the time while we have it!!!

In the meantime, I hit a garage sale recently and scored a like new Pier One table to replace the broken one I hated in our rec room...it only cost me $17! Yay! Then I hit Pier One itself yesterday to browse and discovered a unique table that ended up being even more on sale, so I bought it and thought we will see...it was $49 down from like $199 and it had been marked $59! yay! Well the big kicker is that my husband LOVES it!!!

Yesterday I did the goodwill, savers runs to return shorts the boys said didn't fit or they didn't like and ended up getting a lovely glass cake stand with a dome lid, more shorts for the boys to try on and best of all some like new hiking boots for our 12 year old for the hiking trip they are taking in mid-May! Talk about timing!!! We have 4 pair of hiking boots but they are all too small for everyone in our family now! Craigslist time I think! :)

Well, I just wanted to give some glimpses of things happening here. Other than a lot of time outdoors and playing with the kids and the dog, I have missed you all. I am thinking of you daily and I can't wait until our restore disk is found or replaced so I can be back online...

But in all of this I think that God showed me a lot, beginning with what is my most important priority, time with my family. Especially seeing that with the spent with my grandma recently!

Have a great week everyone!!! :)
