Spring has sprung...

Every year since I don't know when, spring is hell on my manicure...
 
This year I was determined that it would not be so...
 
I played dumb, very dumb, and my heroes came through...
 
Andy showed up with a mega grass cutter...
 
 
 
his new toy...
 
 
And in no time, my lawn looked like a golf course (with all the holes and without all the sand traps)
 
Tony showed up after work wearing dress clothes and clogs...
 
 
And before you knew it...
Andy was helping...
 
 
 
 
We even got Mr. K to pitch in!
 
 
I wish I could say my yard is picture perfect,
but I CAN say...
 
It's getting there!

Ahhhh, hammock napping...

It has been years since I had a hammock, and the thought of laying on the patio with a glass of wine and my Kindle has been on my bucket list for a while.


Last winter, Mr. K bought me a hammock so I could do just that.


It sat in the box in the garage all winter...and finally, last weekend I asked him to bring it upstairs so we could assemble it...


Life always seems to get in the way here.  Mr. K was out of town all last week and finally, yesterday, Tony offered to assemble it...


It didn't seem all that hard, but was it safe?


We let Noelle try it first...




Seemed like it was working...but wait!  It said it could hold up to 350 pounds...

We though we'd try it...



Hmmmm...Not even close, lol!


Well, since it will hold them, it must be strong enough for the really important stuff...


It worked!


If you want me, I'll be out on the patio...

Partners in crime

Don't you wonder what they are planning?


Best friends!

Meet Shirley!

Meet Princess Shirley's Goodness and Mercy, AKA Shirley, AKA the seven pound poop generator. 



She's a 13 week old 
Pembroke Welch Corgi,
And quite a character!  



She's changed our lives...



I now carry a diaper bag for a dog, And go shopping for accessories that are not for me...





Mr K gets down on the floor by choice and not because he fell,  



And yogurt cups have a whole new meaning! 



What were we thinking???
