Happy Times

Last day of school here today! I get just as excited as the kids. This year went really fast. I know we say that every year but this year it really, really did! My son completed his junior year and my daughter graduated Intermediate (5th grade)!

We had a great day and celebrated later on at a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. What fun it was!

I can't believe she is going into 6th grade!

I've been busy at home getting some unfinished projects finally finished. Busy taking care of Mom and her various needs and appointments but it all works out. Sometimes it's hard but it all works out.  Mom is celebrating her 86th birthday on Sunday and although she really doesn't feel well a good deal of the time her spirits remain high with all the people around her.

Here's some of what I've been working on:

I finished my newest milk can ...but once I thought it was finished I realize I still have to clear glaze it. Basically done though.

I've made a few more button garlands too.

Working on the garden and all outdoor stuff. Certainly enough to keep us all busy! The chickens are loving running around the yard!

Enjoy your weekend!

I love June!

I love the month of June for so many reasons and this one has been so special. We've been busy with some family events and a few more coming up and its been so nice.

My son went to the Junior Prom with his girlfriend and what a great time he had. The prom was held as a dinner cruise around Manhattan!

They had such a beautiful night and the weather cooperated nicely. The boat stopped in front of the Statue of Liberty and my son got great photos of he and his gal in front of Manhattan all lit up at night!

Caitlin had her 5th grade field day event and a school party and next week it's 5th grade graduation! Here she is in her braids!

Here at home, my strawberry patch got huge and is producing some great strawberries though I do find my squirrels are also helping themselves!

The chickens are growing fast. They now love being in the coop and have adjusted well to Carol & Frankie. Here's Veronica.

And they LOVE to watch my son mow the lawn!

Have a great day!
