Whats been up with us ?
We will start back in april on things Ive missed putting up pictures for.
Jessica went to her Jr/Sr prom in april, behind her is the fruit tree in bloom.
Jessica finished her quilt she was making in school, I think she did a good job on it. She also made a very large pillow in the same colors and design.
We started doing some serious figuring about getting the suppies to start remodeling the bedroom, we finally have all the slat and plaster down. Its been alot of dirty work, but that part is done. We have decited to remove the old floor and put in a new hardwood floor. The old one has to much damage due to age and termites. We had thougth we were going to put down carpet but with animals its not pratical to have any carpet for them to mess up. We found a very pretty cherry wood color designed hardwood. Already pre stained and finished.
Jessica had an electronic baby she had to care for just before the end of school, had it over night and yes it cries, you have to turn a key in its back till it tells you can let go. It does work, she doesnt want to have children till shes out of school and ready for them. This is the second time she has had one of these babys home, they are loud and crabby!
Some where in all that in april we went fishing, the day was very windy with white caps on the lake and nice size waves that made the boat ride interesting at best. We found an area that wasnt as windy deeper in the flooded trees ( Harlen county dam was low no is filling up so there are lots of trees and weeds under water now)
Jessica caught 2 large cat fish and I caught 1. Hers were the largest of the day.
We have gone fishing afew times but havent really caught anything to speak of. The gas prices are killing us taking the boat out so we have found a few places to fish in ponds that we can walk into.
We have spent days it seems ordering and shopping for stuff to do the bedroom. I never thought id be so tired shopping but wow that was not fun.
At the end of april we went for a ride to Red Cloud my old home town, we had heard word that one of the streams there was stocked with trout back in march. The creek really had nothing in it and very little water by the time we got there. But we went by this old victorian farm house in the creek area, which I just fell in love with. Pictured below....
isnt it just beautiful, oh k its old and needs a painting but look at style of the house and all the ornate wood design, I bet its just beautiful inside with the wood. Its just sitting there rotting away now. Nobody is living in it and the owner live on the other side of the state, I think that is so sad.
Well on to may......
