Here are some pictures of our front deck and front garden. This year we have gone with a blue and purple theme, which is funny because i don't even like the color purple. I do however, love my flag and that's what got this going. We purchased the cane chair and dresser from the flea market and Sterling painted the dresser fronts and chair blue. We added flowers, hens & chicks, and a Mandevilla Vine along with some old wash boards and a very cool herb garden. My tulips came up amazingly well and I couldn't bring myself to cut them and bring them in. We have weeded the garden and have lots of perennials coming up. We hung an ampersand on the wall and now are hunting for a K and an L.

The weather is being a little up and down at night so many things are still being covered, but I am very happy with the outcome.

I can't wait for mom and dad to see it next month and with luck, some may still be in good shape at the end of Summer when Stan and Shirley come to visit!

Double WOW! Everything looks so awesome. It sure looks like you enjoyed every minute of doing this project if the outcome is any indication. Can't wait to see it.

We moved back into Bridgeview today. The girls loved their weekend at Elbas with the sheep, miniature horses, donkey, horse, calves and cows. Three ewes had twins and the fourth one had triplets. They were all newborns and still struggling to get up and walk. Soooo cute. I think Emma is a farm animal "whisperer". I was sure they understood everything she said to them.

We moved in the nick of time as the propane ran out just after heating up the water for morning showers. In all the years we've RV'd, we have never run out before. First for everything!

Hope everyone had a fun long weekend.

Love to all

Everything looks BEAUTIFUL!!!! Great job by everyone! We are still bringing our plants into the garage every night and out in the middle of the morning BUT Wednesday they are being put in the dirt and they will have to fend for themselves. Hopefully we are now going to have summer.

Just got home from helping my sister Jean celebrate her 60th birthday! Lots of fun with some of her friends. We went to OJ's for lunch at 11:30 and left around 2:00.

Hope everyone is enjoying the afternoon. BIG HUGS TO ALL!
