Spring is in the Air

Spring is in the air here in Cuero. We have been very fortunate to have rain in our lives again after a long hard drought here in Southeast Texas. Everything is green and growing at a rate we can barely keep up with. Cris is mowing the yard (riding mower) every week now and loves having something to do. He will have to begin the mowing of the acreage with his tractor as soon as it is dry enough. He started down to the river to check on things and didn't get very far in the golf cart, he and the golf cart came back up covered in mud. We are planting some flower seeds today, hopefully they will do well. I will do flowers for two weddings this month and we celebrated the boys birthdays yesterday in Houston along with our daughter in law and the youngest son's girl friend and our grandson. It was a good outing for all of us behind some crazy storms that hit in the early hours of the morning. Cris and I traveled in the rain and lightening most of the morning, that was no fun. I must go out and tend to some of the yardwork so I will close for now. Let me know how you are enjoying spring!!!

Our Valentine's Day

What A Beautiful Day!!! Just a little cold here. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!! Cris and I went over to Shiner for our Valentine outing yesterday. It is so much more enjoyable to celebrate Valentine's Day without the crowds. There is a little steak house in Shiner called Werner's that I highly recommend if you are ever in that area. The drive in the country was great as well, the warmth of the sun was greatly welcome, just a little windy. I will make Cris a steak dinner tonight, he loves his beef. We will be very busy today. Cris is doing laundry, he took over that task years ago and he is much better at it than I was. It was like a dream for me as laundry was always one of my least favorite things to do. I love to clean house, love it, nothing like sitting down when your entire house has just been thoroughly cleaned and smelling great. We use all natural cleaners and detergents. Trying to save the planet one home at a time!!! We are also trying to give our kids and grandkids a chance to survive. Click on the Healthy Environment website!!! I will be working today. I am a marketing executive with an international pharmaceutical company and luckily I work from the comfort of my own home office. I have lots of advertising to do today so I better get to it.
