The Sun Was Shining!

Drew is easy to spot – he is the one in sunglasses!

We saw some sun! Drew had his first soccer game of the season and I was not looking forward to sitting in the cold and wind that had been forecasted for the day. But we woke up to sunshine and warmth – well, warmth for us anyway. I had my long johns on but was able to take my coat off and be comfy in a sweatshirt. It was wonderful! Drew had lots of fun – he said he played goalie and defense. They don’t really have positions and they don’t keep score at this age. They just have fun!

My poor flower beds are in some dire need of sprucing up this year. They’ve been neglected the past few years since we had Drew. I’m hoping to spend a lot of time outside this summer and work from one bed to another and hopefully get them whipped back in shape.

We enjoyed the nice day. Eric, Drew and I ran to Osky to get some groceries after soccer. We ate lunch at the Chinese restaurant – yummy! Then back home to help Joe rake the yard. He had even cleaned out my flowerbeds. I was happy to see that and very appreciative – less work for me! Drew and I even sat out on the deck for awhile. He loves sitting out there. It needs a lot of work to get it cleaned up after the winter but we got the cushions out and sat for a few minutes and discussed our day.

It was starting to cool down so we decided to drive out to Belva Deer. There were a few changes – a new parking area has been added to the campground and a new outhouse has been put up and the old one taken down. There were some people out on the lake fishing but no campers yet. I’m getting anxious to get our camper home but I know we probably won’t get any camping in until after graduation.
