It's Memorial Day Weekend here in the US and I am thinking of all those lost in too many wars/conflicts since the beginning of our country's existence. May we not lose any more.
How was your Friday? I was both busy and productive and a little lazy. I didn't have to leave to clean until noon so I (tried) to tidy up my house as best as I could. Before I did any of that, I did a 30-minute beginner's yoga video. 90% of the flexibility I had a few months ago-- gone! Poof! Ok, maybe not quite that much but it is not where I was. My hope is that it comes back quickly as long as I keep up with the sessions. Goal: At least a 20-minute session every day this weekend.
In the afternoon, I puttered around a little, then cooked an early dinner. I DVR'd "Next to Normal," a play BFF and I had seen together when it opened on Broadway -- sheesh, maybe 17 years ago? It's about a bipolar mom whose infant son died and how it affects her family years later. Not a happy one, but one we both related to and bawled our eyes out together. BFF lost her son when she was in her third trimester and when we saw this together, I was going through hell with Gary, as he was diagnosed with one psychiatric disorder after another. I didn't cry last night but choked up more than once.
The highlight of my day was when Scott texted me last night. He ran a program for the Parks department and a couple of my Weis kids were there. No idea how the conversation came up but apparently they told him that they love Miss Chris at the New Weis Center. ♥ He couldn't remember their names but the next time they see me, they are supposed to tell me that Ranger Scott said hi.
It's finally not raining here so I'll be working outside today even though it is cold. I have to start raking the dead leaves out of my garden areas. I also found the milkweed seeds I saved last year.
I'll get them in the ground too. I don't know if they'll germinate, but if I can get some growing on the side of my house, they will eventually spread out nicely. My veggies are ready to get planted too but I might wait another few days since it's still chilly. They are in the "greenhouse" ATM. I always feel silly calling it a greenhouse b/c that makes me think of a tall and beautiful glass structure. My greenhouse is made up of some shelves covered by clear plastic. But it works!
Wishing all of you a fabulous day and weekend!

hello to everyone!
BTW, Peanut's name is going to be Boston Yona. I had a sweater made for him that has his name on it. Ava's holding it up in one of the pictures. Also the navy blue Boston Red Sox Jersey is from me. I had Vance 3 put on the back. SO cute. Chris 
Also ran the ceiling fan until I turned the light off at 9:30PM. Guess my body was making up for the broken nights sleep over the last week. Need to make sure the camera battery is fully charged... we usually have lots of hot air balloons flying over my neighborhood on Memorial Day holiday. The winds have been fairly calm in the mornings so I expect they will filling the sky tomorrow. That reminds me... I need to hang the flag outside by the front door early tomorrow. 
, my Florida friends miss me and I sure miss them, chatting with grandchildren and daughter always a highlight of my day
. Just over 2 weeks to see our kids and grandchildren.
