Garage Sale...

Well, the garage sale is over and done... Hurrah!!!

I didn't get any pix's, to tired to lift myself let alone my camera.

Mark and I were up and out before 7:30 a.m. and didn't finish until after 2 p.m. The people just kept coming and coming. It was fun to a point.

We sold t.v.'s, lamps, clothes and jeans, games, some Harry Potter stuff, old vhs movies, tons of kitchen stuff ... it was very refreshing to unload my junk and offer it to people looking for treasures!!! HaHa

What was left, Holly and I loaded into her van and my van and we drove to D.I. to share. We already tossed the garbage, so, it was all good items, with nothing broken.

We made a little over $100... and got to visit with a ton of interesting people. Mark was the 'banker' and he had fun too. Loves Money!!!

I was able to get the van into the garage for the first time since Feb. 07.

The new baby is born.

We have cousins here... Audree and Alexis. They are BOTH big sisters now!!!


Audree is A big sister too, just like Lexi. She has a little sister, Lillee who was born April 20, 2007. We don't have a pix yet of Lillee, but as soon as we do, we will upload it.

Emillee is doing fine. She and the girls are living here in the Salt Lake Valley. Things have been strained between John and Em due to the divorce.

We have 9 grandkids now.


Hurrah!!!

I will try to get a few photos together, probably not all in one spot. But, new and up to date!

We are Prepping the "For Sale" Sign





The bing cherry is loaded and the birds are starting

to come to get their share...

The tree is so heavy that the limbs are hanging very low to the ground.

Tanner climbed up to see if we had any 'bird nests'...




I am thinking it's one of his first trees...or else he isn't into HEIGHTS. (like his mom) :)





The apricot tree is loaded.













The rabbit hutch is empty.


The garden has onions and garlic...doing very well.








The pool has moved to Margaret's house... the pump looks lonely...

She is getting ready to get it up and filled with tons of water and the solar heater on... so we can swim and party.



I am now cleaning and tossing and getting things out of here.
Moving them to the BARN!!!
Can't sell the house with clutter, and we have a 3 car garage that we can't get 1 car into.
Left over Al's apartment...
Left over John's apartment...
Left over from my parent's house,
Chris' stuff, tons of stuff...

We are having a garage sell in the neighborhood during memorial day weekend... 10 families...

So watch our progress and give me ideas and hints to keep things moving...

The Pool Movement!

Well so much for getting the rest of the pictures taken of the yard and posted... Dah... the story of my life... tons of unfinished projects.

We did sell our pool to the Davis Family. John and I loaded up the van and I drove it over to Margaret's house. Margaret was waiting for me, in tears... It was a birthday at their house and as usual Mom was having a great day... NOT.

Hannah was the first out, next followed by Beth and Rachael. Gary helped unload, then Sam, Candas and Josh helped finish up.

Now, yesterday they got the sand delivered, and we bought the wheelbarrow last night and the wood to keep the sand in.

When they get that part prepped, then John will have to help put the liner up, hook up the pump :) and that is very heavy... then it's fill... yeehaw

FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2007

They say that this is a bad luck day...a Friday and the 13th day of the month...How can they say that when the sun is shining and the sky is blue. I like Friday's no matter what... hehehe

The breeze is blowing softly, moving the trees heavy with blossoms. Ahhhh...

And I am stuck in the office, wanting to be outside in my work jeans and gloves, pulling weeds and getting to those pesky dandelions before they spread their bounty to the whole yard!!!

Oh well, tomorrow is another day and I might be able to get out into the yard and do some of that cool stuff...

These are my fruit trees this year. The tall apple got a big haircut, as did the short apple... The cherry didn't get any cuts this year. The apricot got a few cuts, but I will wait until fruit sets to view it again.

This is my dad's lilac bush and his bleeding hearts. When I move, these are the only 2 things I will want to move... Except of course for the iris that my grandpa created for my grandma, Zina's Dream.

My flowers and trees are important to me, not more than my grandbabies...but cool all the same.
