Birds and Bees

It is that time of year again. Flowers are in bloom, bees are a buzzing and everyone and their brother seem to get married or graduate.

I love Spring time. But here in Texas it only last about a month and then summer comes. It does not matter if summer officially started or not. In Texas it has it's own timetable. This spring/summer has been extremely hot and dry. We are in a drought and under a burn ban. Only real good thing about this is not to many bugs.

Shawn and I celebrated out 11th anniversary on the 28th of March. We had a lovely weekend. We went to Natchitoches, La. Lovely little town on the Cane river with very old houses and plantations nearby.

Next week we are off to Chicago to see Amy get married to Tony. Amy is Shawn's step daughter from his first marriage. I have had fun buying things for the kids (Amy's and Casandra's), gifts from Ya Ya and Pa Pa.

Then we are having a staycation in July. Just going to do things around here. And then also in July back to Chicago for work.

One thing we definetly need to do is stay cool. :)
