A Phone Call From My Mom-In-Law

My mother-in-love made a phone call today….to me.  She asked me to please blog….Hi mom!  I am blogging!  She was belly-aching  saying that she needed something to read, she must be really desperate needing to hear from me more often!

To be quite honest I have tons to blog about, but really hated the watchful eye that came from my family members on what I blog about.  I told my husband that I was done blogging…well not really, Higgins my dog blogs, so I live viciously through him! 

Anyhoos, I have missed my friends and I think my mom-in-law has missed me, so here I am!  Who cares what people say, it’s me and my soap box…kinda….so I am back!!  Teehee!

So to all my reader that I hope I still have, not likely…so to my mom-in-law, here goes!

So what has been going on since February…WOW…a whole four months???  There has been lots!!  I will hit the highlights…

Since the summer is back, I have been living again on the front porch.  I love my front porch!  I was almost giddy this year as I set out removing the cobwebs from the winter months and planting plants again.  I managed to keep the ferns alive through the winter months and this year they are HUGE!! 

The humming birds are also back, and it has been a never ending battle keeping their feeders filled! Oh yeah, this little guy flew into the house and I had to rescue him!! How cute!

The next big thing that happened in these few months is our middle son Bradley graduated high school.  Not only has he finished high school, he also got a full time job and has moved out.  How tough it was on this mama!  He is truly a mama’s boy and I didn’t think I would miss him being here everyday, but I do!  Of course, the hubby never missed a beat, so when our last son moves out, it will hit him like a bulldozer and I will be there snickering!  Who am I kidding, I will be a big mess too!  HA!

Now having gone to a family of five all the way down to a family of three, Joey, our youngest did not waste anytime claiming Bradley’s room!  So we have started the upstairs project of re-painting and redoing rooms!  Joey’s room is now Bradley’s old room and went from this brown color….

to this grey color!

Joey also moved into his room with the what used to be the shared flat screen TV, xBox and our huge bean bag!  He is really loving this being the only child thing and took full advantage of it!! 

We are also in the process of re-doing Joeys old room and making it a true guest bedroom.  Oh yeah, the bonus room where the TV, xBox and bean bag used to reside, is now going to be my craft room!!  Goodie!!  I have tons of ideas and can’t wait to get busy working on it!

Well, I think that is a good jumping off point back into blogging!  I will make a promise to blog more and not wait a whole four months to show back up.  There is lots going on around our home and with me so I look forward to sharing again!
