Last night was awesome!!!

4-18-08
We went to a roller skating birthday party last night. It was incredible. I only wish my knee was as young as my heart. I did take a couple of spills, but they were well deserved spills. I spun around in a graceful move that was sure to WOW the masses when I lost my footing and went flying smack on concrete, on my knee cap. That was the low point. Obviously you see then why I have no shots to share, I wasn't sure I could keep my bum off the floor much less my expensive equipment. Please forgive the non documentation.

Patty (MIL) gets here tonight, we are going to plan some huge gardening project and hit the nurseries first thing for the best the season has to offer. I'm pretty pumped. I know they'll documentation of this ;) + guess what, I saw some tomato and pepper buds popping out last night. When you're loving a plant and taking care of it, never truly feels like 65 days gestation.

See you Monday.

Today is a health day

Today I have multiple Dr.s appointments and I'll be headed out soon.

I wanted to tell you a little bit about this weekend coming. We have Patty Howe, my mother in law, coming in for our annual gardening visit. She is an expert gardner in South California and has purposefully learned a great deal about out climate here in Austin to help us out with our planting plans. This is the woman who taught me that smaller potted flowers with the right love and support will turn into huge thriving planted flowers in a short time and can be trusted to grow. since her last visit, I put in a herb garden with lettuce last season and this year I put in tomatoes and peppers 3 kinds of basil sweet peas and I have some small zucchini making it's way out of seed pods inside right now. I will add a few photos in a short while of my lovely proud garden.

Since I have only just begun my blogging efforts I thought I would catch you up on a few goings on. This installment is about Meg my lovely next door neighbor. She and her husband are expecting their first in May. I joined her at her recent baby shower where numerous friends and loved ones sent a beautiful outpouring of love and support for their new family. Here are some highlights from their event.

Andrea is a lovely bride to be, who decided to not have a photographer for her wedding until I expressed my concern about the loss of her memories. Sadly her experience and those close to her soured her view of photographers. I think we were able to change her mind. Have a look.

Until next time.
