Hi,
What crazy weather we are having!! It's in the 30 & 40's one day and in the 60's the next. I just worry about my plants. Hopefully they will survive all the weather changes.
Bob and I went to a home show on Saturday. We enjoy just looking at all the new products plus it fun to get all the free stuff too!! We got in the home improvement mode later on that day and we put up a new light fixture in our home office. What a big difference it has made.
Today is tax day!! I guess it's one of the most hated days of the year. Bob spent Sunday evening doing our taxes. He usually puts it off until the last couple days since most of the time we have to pay. I'm happy for the ones who will be getting the extra check in a couple months. I'm sure the money will come in handy.
We are having some projects done this week to the house. One of the elders where I go to church has his own business of doing home improvement projects and he's going to be here the rest of this week. Several months ago he took care of a couple things for us so we decided to have him come back. He is going to replace some vinyl siding on the eaves of the house and paint the soffit all around the house along with the roof of the porch and the porch floor. Were also having him power wash the driveway and seal it. I'm so excited to get these projects completed.
I hope everyone has a good week. Take care. Teresa

What a nice weekend we had.....
Hi,
I hope you were able to enjoy nice weather this past weekend. It was beautiful up here in Ohio. It wasn't too hot or too cold, just perfect. Saturday evening Bob and I went to Columbus to watch the Destroyers play. They won which was great!! They are now 2-4. Not a great season so far but there's several more games to go.
Terry came up and spent Sunday afternoon with us. We grilled out steaks, YUM!!! After lunch we went to Black Wing in Delaware so Bob and Terry could practice at the shooting range. Did I tell you all about Terry's new position? He still works for the same company but he now works in the office instead of the warehouse. He took over the position of Accounts Payable from a person who was moving to another state. Terry has never worked behind a desk before so he wasn't for sure if he was going to like it or not but he loves it. He stays pretty busy which he prefers.
Have a nice week and I will post again soon. Take care.

April Fool's Day
So, today is April 1st. Have you played a joke on anyone yet? Bob and Terry are really good at trying to play jokes on me so I'm waiting to see what they do. It's hard to believe that April is already here. It is nice to hear the birds singing and to see some of my plants starting to pop out.
The hot tub is beginning to look really inviting. We do need to drain it and fill it with fresh water. With all the rain were having we may wait for a couple weeks since we drain the hot tub into the yard. There's enough standing water on our grass now as it is. We really enjoy going out in the evening and lounging in the hot tub while looking at the stars. Bob made a joke last year that we needed rubber ducks to play with while in the tub so I bought several from a person on ebay. There's one that has on a football outfit, one is red and has devil horns, one is dressed like a soccer player and then one looks like a regular rubber duck. So cute!!!
I am putting away our winter clothes today. We store our off season clothes in the basement so I am going to be going up and down stairs for a while. At least I will get my exercise today.
Have a good day. Teresa

It's Spring
Hi,
Did you all have a good Easter? I wonder why Easter came so early this year. Who out there determines what date on our calender Easter falls on??? Just a question I will throw out there for anyone to answer.... We went to Bobby and Benita's for dinner. The food was great of course and we enjoyed spending time visiting with them.
We got bad new last week that Skybus no longer will be going to Chattanooga. So for now we are back to driving again. They did say at some point they hope to add Chattanooga back on so we will see I guess. Bob has several things already scheduled the week of July 4th at work so were not sure now when we will be going down to dad's. He may be able to reschedule some things, not sure yet.
Now that the water is starting to recede some I can get out and clean up the twigs and branches in my yard. It won't be long before the grass treatment begins so I do need to make sure the yard is clear and ready.
Everyone have a nice week. Take care. Love to all of you.

Happy St. Patricks Day
Good Morning,
Did you remember to wear green today? Of course, I say that because I forgot. It wasn't until I got to Wal-mart and everyone had green on that it hit me what today is. Then I get in the truck and what's playing on the radio but Danny Boy!!!! Yep, it's definitely St. Patricks Day!!!
Sorry, I haven't updated in a while. We are finally getting uncovered from all the snow we got. The final total we heard was 14 inches for us and 20 inches for Columbus. We still have some snow in places where snow was shoveled into piles but that's about it. Now we are getting rain. Do you know how much we DON'T need rain. My yard looks like it has a couple lakes in it now. Oh well, I know I shouldn't complain. It will all dry up eventually and then we will be begging for rain. I guess we are never happy are we?
We went to our season opener of the Columbus Destroyers Saturday evening. We absolutely love our new seats. Having the table and being able to eat at the table and watch the game is great. I will try to take some pictures so you all can see what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, our team lost but it is early in the season.
What Easter plans do you all have? Bob, Terry and I are going to Bobby and Benita's for Easter dinner. I am really looking forward to visiting with them. I can't believe it's almost Easter already. This year is going by way too fast. We have a candy making factory here in Marion so I went there this morning to get candy for Bob and Terry's Easter basket. They have a great selection. I could feel myself gaining weight just by looking at all the chocolate. I did splurge and buy for myself a chocolate covered caramel. Oh, how I love those and it was so good!!! YUM....
Speaking of candy, guess what I am going to be making this week? Homemade suckers.... Why am I making homemade suckers you ask. Well, my church participates in a food program called Angel Food Ministries. Anyone in the community can purchase boxes of food for a low price and the distribution is done at my church the last Saturday of each month. Back in August of last year myself and another woman at church started making little care packages that they pass out to the people when they come to pick up their boxes of food. We either do little baggies of homemade or store bought cookies or bags of candy. In each bag we also put a card which has our church phone number and times of service. For this month we decided to make bouquets of suckers. So, we came up with a recipe to make the homemade suckers which surprisingly are very good. We plan on putting a ribbon around the suckers and punch a hole in the card and attach it to the ribbon. We usually have around 160 to 200 people so we have a lot of suckers to make.
Well, that's about all that is going on up here. Take care and I will update again soon. Love to all of you.

Howdy
Hi,
I hope everyone is doing fine. Bob wasn't feeling well over the weekend. He has problems with his sinuses anytime the weather changes and this past weekend we went from frigid cold to 50 degree temperature. He seems to be doing some better this morning. Joy, I'm sorry your not feeling well. Hope you are doing better.
Thanks for the comments everyone sent back to me regarding the hook n' latch rug I did. I thought when I bought it that with the vibrant colors it would look great hung on the wall but it even looks better than I thought it would. Bob and I did get a shelf hung up in the living room yesterday. Now I need to decide what I want to display on it. We finally picked out the glass insert yesterday for the fireplace in our living room. I went to Lowe's this morning and ordered it. In the living room the wood tone is light and I have used black as my accent color so we decided to get the glass insert in solid black. I'm really excited to see what it's going to look like.
I need to do some bragging on Terry. He got a letter from school (Franklin University) telling him that he made the President's list last semester. He had a 4.0 grade point average. If all goes to plan he hopes to graduate in December. He's been talking about adding a minor, so if he does that then he will need to go another year. He's also mentioned going for his Masters and that would take another 1 1/2 years. He may decide he's had enough school come December and stop taking classes for a while. It will be interesting to see what he does. Way to go, Terry!!!! We are very proud of you....
Marion made the news again last week. We had a visit from former president Bill Clinton. He was here doing campaign speeches for Hillary. I didn't attend his speech but from what I read in the paper it was a packed house. Ohio has their primary tomorrow. I still haven't decided who I'm voting for. It will be amazing to see if this country elects a woman president or possibly a black president. Or maybe it's going to be another Republican. I think Huckabee would be good but from what I've read his chances are pretty slim right now. Oh, well, I guess we will see soon enough. I believe the good Lord will take care of the situation and make sure the correct one is put into office.
That's about all the news from here in Ohio. Take care and I will post again soon. Love to all of you!
