Visit from my babies then got other stuff done

 Lilyana was the first to think of climbing the fence, she is fearless! Then Amelia and Marley followed. These babies of mine sure were cute together

 Dawn and the kids didn't get one nutritional meal at this visit home, so sorry but dang it was too hot to cook

 Right here is the *other stuff done* Jan and I settled with Michigan Memorial Park and here is the final resting place, just a few feet from our Grandparents. We will wait until the head stone is finished before we bury Gene. They said in about 6 to 8 weeks

                                                         This is Genes' new address

Jan and I took a short comfort walk on a path at Huron park, until the mosquitoes' started to attack

Yard work

Trying once again to get a garden going, I am finding out real quick it takes work, constant work!  I don't think I'll keep this up the whole summer so my hat's off to all you gardeners out there.  Weeds come up daily, if you want green grass u need to toss out some weed n feed, water, mow then start all over again.
Why again is it, we try and grow grass only to cut it down anyway?
One good thing is our new Aqua duct, seems to work pretty good, we sat cheering on our front porch yesterday while the rain down poured and our aqueduct did it's job and sent the flood into the street. But it can't be used as a side walk to my car, Paddy called it a Mountaineer type of walk if you use it.
We need to climb up and clean the gutters big time, the water was pouring out over the edge and washing out the new grass seeds, if it were clean the new down spout that goes underground and out into the yard farther down would have worked nicely.
I am scared to climb up there so we gotta find some brave young fella to do it for me.
This video is 6 minutes long showing the before and after (there's barely a difference)
The foundation of the porch is going to get a new coat of paint real soon.
(Update)  Gutters are done, the ole boy was the brave one:-)

and then there were four

I have 3 wonderful brothers and a big sister, what more could be better?
Although Gene is now gone, he will always be in my mind and heart, I am so broken up about such a loss and waste of life. I need to write about his passing on May 31, 2012 at 11:30 am but for now my heart is broken and I can't think straight.  He has a story and it needs to be told. Just writing this much and I am sobbing, I can't see the keyboard. Perhaps I can tell you about the baby boy I loved so  much, not now though.

Lord give me the strength that I need.
