Contrasts and Changes ...











Spring has truly sprung around here and we're just trying to keep up with the changing of the season and all the contrasts it has presented. It's all so amazing ... the way things are waking up and "greening out" around here. There are so many trees who are standing right next to each other where one is in full bloom and the other is still sleeping! There are also so many trees that seem to have come to life over night! We drove down to the water fall Sunday with Christian, and it was many times greener this weekend than it was last weekend when we went down there with Pedro and his family. The way spring waltzes in around here is just as extreme as what we discovered with the arrival of winter! It's great fun to watch everything and become educated. I'm trying my best to decline the temptation to plant colorful flowers and such because it's still dipping down into the high 30's at night here! Not the best idea to plant yet ... but it's so hard to NOT put the color around now that the season FEELS like it's the right time! I'm sure I got enough sun Sunday to have some pink around the edges while we were at the falls. Christian and I laid out on some of the rocks while Paul treasure hunted amongst the pools of shallow water. It was a lovely afternoon and such a treat to get out in the wilderness and enjoy nature!
Christian and Jennifer arrived on Friday about 6pm. Jenn spent the night and left EARLY Saturday morning for a seminar she was teaching in Gaffney, SC, but Christian is staying for a few days (or a week :-) ... ) and we've had a tremendous amount of fun already. He's certainly a great source of entertainment. And the interior of our house has already changed dramatically. We have been bicycle shopping and trying to find just the perfect bike ... so far we have the perfect helmet, knee and elbow pads!! The search continues!
Friday was Paul's last day at Blue Mountain Metal Works and now the transition begins! We're very excited about our new endeavor and are planning and preparing for the new business. If you find yourself with a desire to do so, please send us some positive thoughts for our new and exciting adventure! We certainly appreciate the positive support, as always!
Most of the schools up here had their graduations this weekend, so I'm assuming that's kind of a nation wide thing. So to all you graduates, CONGRATULATIONS!! And best of luck with your next step in life! So many choices! Have fun and enjoy the journey.
Happy Birthday to Valerie Varney (I sure do miss you!) ... I know all of my dance teacher friends are busy getting ready for recitals and panicking as it is dress rehearsal and recital time all over the place. Good luck to everyone every where as you prepare and conquer!!!!
Will update when I can as I have a very busy little bee visiting ...
Paul-Paul came home with the perfect bicycle this morning ... sooooooooo cute!!!
Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are celebrating motherhood this coming Sunday. No one deserves a day of celebration more, in my humble opinion!!!!
Best to all!! Paul & Cheri
