Quick post before we head west

We're all packed up for our flight across the country today, and I have a bit of extra time here.


On Tuesday evening I was over at Destiny and Alex's place and took Elizer for a walk on the lovely trail behind their community.  It actually goes through the woods to another community owned by the same company.  Elizer loved listening to the birds.  They were so noisy, but a beautiful noisy.





This week our son Ray started a new amazing job at McCormick.  How cool is that?  Each time I use their seasonings, which is every time I cook, I will think of him and pray for him!






I had been lamenting the fact that although Dick planted tulip bulbs last fall that were to be a variety of colors, it seemed we still had nothing but red.  But look what bloomed in the flower bed at the edge of our property!!!  Pink and yellow!  I am so delighted!




On Thursday evening I sat here at the computer and watched the Districts Track and Field competition in Florida.  Sophie was doing the 100, the 400, and the 200.


She came in first in the !00.  I loved hearing George's "Go Sophie!"




In the 400 she came in second, but was SO CLOSE.




In the 200 she came in first again.  Watching her run pretty much gives me tears every time.  She is so amazing!!




Friday was a sunny morning and I once again thanked the Lord for my kitchen.  I know I have not redecorated since we moved here in 2010, but so far it's not on my list of important things to do or spend money on. 




Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I cook dinner for Anthony and Lori's family, then I pick Austin up from school and take him and the food to their place.  I had to stop and take pictures as we drove up their long driveway on Friday.  I LOVE Spring!!!







On Friday evening I went over to Destiny and Alex's place to spend time with them before our trip.  As usual, Elizer and I sat on the couch, covered with a blanket, and read books.  I love him so much and will miss him while we're away!  I'm sure we will FaceTime. 




And now I gotta run!!  I'll hopefully be able to post from my phone while we're at Jeremy and Mike's.

Praying for safe travels, Jean, and that you will have a ton of fun with the boys. Elizer will miss you as much as you miss him. He is SO adorable! Your tulips are lovely and Anthony and Lori's property is amazing!

What a nice walking path! I'm sure you will miss that cutie! Jeremy's family will keep you busy. So happy you have this time with them too.
The tulips are soooo pretty! I love spring too.
