About Me

My Photo
DFW metro, Texas, United States
I was born in Dallas, Tx and other than living in California a couple of times, I have always lived in Tx. I am married to a wonderful man, MJ. I have two great daughters, Dee and Melanie. And two grandsons, Dylan and Tyler, who I love to have come visit. MJ has a great son Shaun who lives in Indiana, married to Julie and has our only granddaughter, at the moment, Kennah. I have 2 dogs. Max is a 105 lb English Lab, and Bear is a 13 yr old Min. Poodle. I like to work in the yard. I now have around 69 rose bushes in my back yard. 39 are miniature. I had more but lost some. The largest is a climber that is about 12 ft high x 18ft wide Seven Sisters Rose. It only blooms once a year in the spring, but it's worth it.

Random March Thoughts or Marching along

I think my hand is doing better. It's still numb but not as bad if that makes sense.  And it hasn't hurt in awhile.  I have been very careful to not lift anything heavy or use it much.  Let's wait awhile longer to see.  Keep me in your thoughts and prayers, it must be working.

MJ and I went to the park with Max the other day.  On the way back I tried to get him to stop at the Animal Shelter but he wasn't going for it.  At times I still want another small dog.  Bear is not going to be with us much longer and I would like him to help train any new dog.  That's how he was trained.  We had Spike and Bear learned from him about going outside and to bed.  Max is not the greatest roll model for a puppy.  I guess after saying that, what if it took after Max instead of Bear.  Okay I can see where this thought process is going.

We also went to the Dallas Arboretum this past Friday.  No tulips.  They plant thousands of  tulips each year, but this year all the cold weather has set them back a few weeks.  I saw two.  So I shot a few photos of trees and koi.  It was nice to walk around.  The weather was about 62 and sunny.  Lovely day.



We cut back the big rose bush last month along with all the others.  So far so good.  Some of the large canes are doing well.  I'm sure it won't be blooming this year, but who knows.  I have been doing what I can in the yard with one hand.  A set of new pruning shears helps.  I am so ready for warmer weather.

Melanie and I choose the wedding invitations last week.  Everything is going along fine on that end.  I got the chance to speak with Brad's grandfather the other day.  I am looking into their family history for Brad and had a few questions.  Very nice man.  It is difficult trying to trace back to Holland thru Canada.   It's coming along, but slowly.
