And, here I am again after about 2 1/2 months of not writing. Life goes on and we just float along with it........Not to be sad, but it was two years ago today that my Mom passed away. I'll be thinking of her more then normal. Miss her VERY much!.............Dan's son and family have been over and its always nice to see them. We did get a new refrigerator put in. Ours finally just gave up keeping things cold. Thank goodness we don't have to haul our rig anywhere to get stuff like that done. We have a mobile RV repair guy who will come to us. A little bit more expensive, but worth it to us. We are paying for convenience. We don't have to make a trip somewhere and pay for possible motel stays. I like our new fridge even though its the same kind as the old one. He also came to us a couple of years ago to repair our furnace. Hope he never goes out of business.....................Dan has been getting rid of the weeds in the yard and orchard and has already been out on the riding lawnmower. The grass has been growing fast and its so green. Not like last summer where it only needed mowing twice and it was brown, brown, brown. Everything is starting to bloom too. The lilacs and dogwood tree are looking good.

Here is Annabella, Dan's youngest grand. She has LOTS of hair!

Dan's son Andrew, wife Tia, and kids all came to see Dan's mom Mary

The beginning of my pallet garden. We put garden fabric on the bottom of the pallet and stapled it to the bottom and up the sides. No weeding for me. I found a young man on our local marketplace on FB who was getting rid of a free pallet. Works for me.

We had another smaller pallet that got the fabric treatment also. Dan cut some of the slats so there was more room between them. I got my pictures out of order, but you can see what we did.

The two pallets put together

Filling it in with topsoil. The upper right corner is filled in also.

Hopefully the different lettuce, radishes, carrots, cauliflower, peppers, strawberries, onions, and parsley will take root and flourish as I have a brown thumb. Time will tell.

Bella found herself a new place to chill. She likes this spot on the wheelbarrow. Dan left it there for awhile until she got tired of it.

I NEVER do selfies! I gave in and tried doing one. Turned out OK I guess.

Me and my sister Peggy from Bellingham, WA. She was a craft fair reading cards for people. Easier to put her web-site on here then to explain it. http://www.darragha.com/blessings-from-the-well

Both sisters, Peggy and Christine

All set up and ready to read cards

Dan is getting some new teeth. Part of his Mexican teeth broke off on the upper left side of his mouth. They lasted for about 10 years. Not bad I guess. Hope mine last longer. Its SO expensive to get work done here at home! He is showing off what he will eventually be wearing permanently. First he has to have surgery in his mouth. Step by step, money, money, money, and lots of time. Everything was done in less then a week in Mexico. Oh sigh. At least he won't look like an old hillbilly soon. LOL LOL......Couldn't resist. :-)
