Visiting with Family and Garden work Continues

March 31, 2009


I woke up again this morning missing my bride. We decided that we would do our best not be apart anymore after this week. I will take off from work if she has to go back Louisiana or for any other reason. We will rearrange our plans so we can just be together. We’ll just have to see if we can hold to that. I did call her and gave her a sweet wakeup call again this morning. The weatherman had forecast a slight chance of rain and she wanted to get out in her garden just in case it actually did rain. I drove my big truck into work today. I enjoy driving it however I cannot park it in the parking garage (figure that it's only 13' 4") so I have to park in an open parking lot about 300 yards away. I can keep an eye on it through the office window which keeps me a little more at ease.

Gina got outside and planted a few bedding plants before she stopped and went to Lowe’s to get some other things for her garden. After that she stopped by the cemetery and picked up the vase on our son’s grave and took it to get a new arrangement made. From there she stopped by to visit with our Aunt Nell and Uncle Jim and invited them to come over to our house later for desert. She finally made it home and got back in her garden to continue her therapy (really work). Around 3 o’clock our aunt & uncle stopped by for some key lime pie that she made Monday. They left and then our children’s adopted grandparents stopped by to see the progress that Gina has made in her garden. It is their son that is getting married in our garden this Saturday. They were highly impressed with how it was looking. Gina is so gifted with landscaping that if we were still aspiring to reach for that American dream, she could easily go into business doing landscaping. Once they left Gina went back to planting. Well, for me, I still had another busy day at work but it should slow down by Saturday until the beginning of May. I left work at 5 today and went straight home. I did sit down and talk with our neighbor that is from Illinois for a little while. The campground is slowly empting out. I expect that a lot more winter Texans will be leaving on April 1st and then most, if not all of them will depart by May 1st.

I cooked up some dirty rice for my dinner and finally finished up Sunday’s and Monday’s blog entry so I’m finally up to date. Gina called me at 9:30 to say she was getting in the shower and to tell me good night. I was already in bed with the TV on but again there didn’t seem to be anything worth watching.


Another beautiful day and tomorrow’s weather forecast is supposed to be a beautiful spring day. We both love spring and watching all the blooms and trees coming back to life.


Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed each one us with.
