Spring is here…and it’s Mother’s Day Weekend!

 

Today is just a beautiful day!! My parents are in town for the weekend. Mom and I started off the day early by going to the Buhler City Wide Garage Sale.  I was going in search of a coffee table. Alas, I didn’t find one that I liked, but we ended up getting one for Kelsi for $10!! What a bargain!!  But we walked around town for about an hour and a half looking and talking to people. It was a really good time.

Then, we went to Dillards’, cause mom’s in search of a mother-of-the-bride dress for Kelsi’s wedding.  She tried on a really cute one, but I don’t think she was sold on it. So she’s in Wichita looking some more!

After we all had lunch together at Bogey’s (such a great place – and it just has a “summer” feel to it. Then Dave and I went to Lowe’s, Home Depot and Stutzman’s Green House. I finally bought some beautiful flowers to brighten it up around here!!  Unfortunately the “soil” (if you can even call it that) around here is just sand. So I really doubt anything would grow that I plant in the ground. So I use pots and planters…I ended up getting some “Yellow Madness” petunia’s and some that are a lavender shade (not sure of their exact name).

I’m so ready for summer – and heat!!  I love this time of year when you get back into mowing the grass and being outside.

I’m very excited for Monday…Dave & I got the day off work. In an effort to prevent work burn-out, I asked for the day off so he and I could just get away for a day. He finally has the paint booth done in the garage and I wanted to just spend the day with him not working!! So we’re going to go to Wichita on Monday and go to Tanganyika Wildlife Park!  I was told that there are meerkats that run around your feet and you can pet all kinds of animals!  Then hopefully we’ll get to have a nice dinner somewhere and just enjoy spending the day together.  I’ll post pictures of our Monday date later!

I should also post some of the pictures of the paint booth!! I’m so proud of all the work Dave has done on it! He’s such a hard worker-and so ingenius!

I wanted to make this picture a little bigger. This is a sunset we had a few days ago! So beautiful!  Our God is amazing!

Well, I can’t think of anything new as of now….the cats are doing well and becoming good buds!  Our little nephew Liam should be arriving in approx. 10 weeks!! SO EXCITED!! I want to spoil him rotten!

Kelsi is still in the process of wedding planning…her big day is Aug. 28…so that’ll be here before you know it!

And one more thing…I know I have at least one blog reader. If you read my blog, shoot me an email at tori_bri@hotmail.com. I’m just really curious to know if anyone actually reads it.  It’s fun to get my thoughts on screen!

Looking forward to the rest of this great weekend!
