Just a Swingin'

There really has been a lot going on these past two months, not sure where to start.  I suppose the most happy news is that I am still seeing Paul who I mentioned last month.  Turns out he is such a great guy!!  I thought that my standards were set too high but Paul met everything I had on my check list, own home, own car, own income and possibly most important...own teeth...LOL!!!  He's smart, funny and very sociable.  What a treat it is to have a manly man around that enjoys family time, yard work and Dexter!!  He loves and appreciates my cooking and will do almost anything for an ice cream cone.  Fate seems to have smiled on me again and for that I am truly grateful.

My bedroom is complete and I am now able to enjoy some peace and privacy.  Next reno on the list is the downstairs bathroom.  The old tap broke and now the entire sink and plumbing will have to be overhauled.  I'm thinking since the sink and toilet match I will have to replace the toilet too so it will be aesthetically appealing.  There's always something to do in an older home!! 

Paul says between him and Billy they can cut the grass instead of paying the outrageous price of a lawn care company so we are going lawnmower shopping this week.  Also have to pick up a new gazebo since my old one got demolished by a windstorm last year. 

I'm still working on plans for our trip to Ontario...hoping for sometime in June but if that doesn't pan out will have to wait until September.  Flight costs are ridiculous in July and August!! 

Brooke is enjoying her job at the Universal Studios call center here is town.  Billy and Britni are doing great and over all life couldn't get much better.  Spring is finally here, the sun is beating down on my deck as I sit here on my swing typing....I think it would be rude to ask for more. 

That's it for April...love and laughter to all who read this.
