OVERDUE GIFTS

I have been reminded by family members lately that I have not posted anything for many weeks.  Life has been full of carpools, field trips, appointments, parties, projects and a handful of challenges.  My kids only have 3 days of school left so I thought I'd better finish listing my spring gifts before we get into the summer season.  

I hope you are enjoying the gifts of spring and looking forward to the joys of summer.

Hi Misty!
I hope everything's been going well for you in your new state, new home!
Your family is just beautiful!
Your surroundings are amazing too... I've never seen a black fox! You have only seven more days of school ! yahoo!
I have another month to go, but can't complain with the summer free!
Bless you always, nice to stop over here and catch up!
