Merry Merry Month of May

Hello from 408 E 13th:

Happy May Day to one and all.  I still enjoy May Day and have many memories of the children and I making many many May baskets to take around the neighborhood and to church friends.  The last couple of years I haven't made as many and my co workers are the lucky recipients.  I still remember my shock a couple of years ago when one them (a guy just a couple of years older than Chris) wondered what the strange thing on his desk was.  Who could believe there was someone who didn't know what a May Basket was!  Here is a picture of this year's creation- a rocket May basket!

The month of May also finds us working at home and at the pasture.  A couple of weeks ago Tim and I made a list of all the projects we would ideally like to get done this spring.  We were so tired after doing the list we couldn't even start the chores!  One of the major projects is that we are moving all of the bedrooms around.  Tim and I are moving to a back bedroom and etc.  Now it is pretty amazing that we have managed to paint the bedroom, install a ceiling fan and move the bed this weekend.  In case you didn't know, our choice of activities on the weekend and evenings would be to read or spend the time on the computer.  Perhaps, we are having a mid life crisis in a good way!!

This is always a busy time for me a work, but there is more help available.  So far, I don't feel quite as stressed as usual in the month of May.  Not sure what to make of that but I'll go with it.  Tim, however is having an OCC audit this week and a computer conversion.  Now that is definitely stress.

We are still enjoying evening meals as a group of 4 plus pets (Kate and Chris are usually here for chow) and family dinners on Fridays with even more family.  Tim is still just nutty over his Liza and causes much eye rolling from other family members.

Finally, enjoy the pictures of Grandpa getting a ride from Chas back into the forest after pasture workday.  It was fun and Chas tried to make it as smooth as ride as possible.  For any of you that had rides in your younger days in a wagon with Chas pulling, it was a much much slower and safer ride.
Notice his nice cushion seat!

    Thanks for the update. I didn't realize you were changing your bedrooms around. That is a major project. Good luck! The pictures of Pa are great.
    Love, Pamey
