Life as I know it

I have either been really busy or just plain lazy. It seems like I am totally chasing my tail all of the time. I meet myself coming and going on a regular basis.
Working out is still going fine. I have hit a more lazy snap, but I do that every few months. I will get back in the groove soon. My weight is still about the same so I can't complain too much.

Yesterday we planted some sweet banana peppers and tomatoes. Today I will go and buy cucumbers and squash. Last year we planted and nothing grew!!! I really hope that we get some this year.

We also set up our tent to air out. It hasn't been used in several years. We are planning on going camping the weekend of mothers day. We had originally thought about going up to Fayetteville and spending the weekend. We would have to stay in a hotel and eat out all weekend. That can get expensive.
So we decided that a weekend camping would be more fun anyway. We are going to Richland Creek. We have been there numerous times and really love the area.
There are no showers, no modern facilities at all. I am really excited about the trip. I ordered the kids a tent today. Our tent is considered a "4 man tent", but it would be a tight fit for the four of us. So the kids will have their own tent. They will be excited.

You see it is also a 2 room tent. So each kid will have there own section, but be in the same tent. It will help them from being scared when it gets pitch black dark outside.

Anyway, that is what we have going on right now.

What's Up

It has been a little while since I posted anything. It has been busy with work and life in general.

Today is Good Friday and the kids are out of school for a wonderful 4 day weekend. Our school is taking a break for the Easter season. They won't have to return to school until Tuesday. It is beautiful outside today. It is very, very windy and cool. Last night we had severe storms and tornado warnings. I guess the cool weather was behind the storms.

Tomorrow we plan on going to Shreveport for the day. It is only about 1 hour away. We plan on doing some shopping and have lunch. Tonight we will color some eggs and just relax.

Sunday after church we will be having a Fellowship Meal. Most of the families in the church get together with their families at home. There is a group of us that do not have family here in town so we all get together on Easter and dine together. It is small and more intimate than our usual Fellowship times. It is a very nice time.

We have also started making plans for another trip to Fayetteville. We are hoping that Mother's Day weekend we will be back up in NW Arkansas.

Ciao for now.
