Andy to the Rescue

I ordered a small island to put in my kitchen to help hide my garbage can and organize a little bit better. I was going to put it together by myself, but alas, the instructions must have been written by a technical wizard in another country. I only made it to step two. Well, I put the pieces in the extra bedroom until Claude was off work so we could work on it together. Then we got sidetracked weeding and mowing between rainstorms.

Andy came to visit us on Thursday to get the lights for his new garage and go four wheeling, fishing, etc. I kind of roped he and Claude into putting it together for me. Thank goodness for good kids. I now have my island put together, and Andy had a place to sleep because we got the pieces of the island off his bed.

It was fun having Andy here for a few days. We watched the NBA game together, the Celtics beat LA (yeah). We went to El Toro and had Mexican food. It was just good to see him and enjoy him. WE LOVED IT.

Oh darn, he forgot his lights so we get to see him again when he is ready for them.

It has been a long time.

Alan and Stephanie and Cesar are in the photo above.

The picture to the left is Cason. Boy has he grown up. The picture to the right is Connor. They really change when you don't get to see them a lot.

The boys playing in the rock pile in the back yard.

I finally have some new pictures so got motivated to start blogging again. Alan got to get the boys for summer. He and Stephanie drove to California and brought them back. They came to see us on the only day that Alan and Stephanie had off together. We had a barbecue with lots of good food and had a great time. As you can see from the pictures, Connor doesn't really like his photo taken. He will get used to it again---grandma garbett is a photo addict.

Oh yea, SCHOOL IS OUT FOR SUMMER. Boy was I ready this time. Hopefully next year will not be a stressful as the last two have. I am getting used to teaching High School Seniors.

Look forward to more posts. I'm in the mood again.
