Springtime 2009 Sunset Beach

Welcome to spring 2009. The weather is perfect. The flowers are blooming and the birds are nesting here in Sunset Beach. This is my favorite time of the year...all things new. We have a great horned owl raising two beautiful snow white babies right here on our street. People come from all over to get a glimpse of them. I see them almost everyday. I've seen the mom in flight and the remnants of prey that she has fed her young for dinner. There are feathers scattered on the ground under her nest and legs of herons sticking out of her nest. We have an abundance of birds in and around our yard from the smallest chickadee to the great blue herons flying overhead. How blessed we are!

Trip to Maryland

We had a wonderful time on our trip to Baltimore. We started by driving to Brian's new home in Halethorpe MD. It is his first house which has an upstairs apartment for additional rental income. He is very excited to be a first-time home buyer. It needs some work and TLC which I'm sure Jack will be happy to be of assistance. From there we drove to Kevin and Breezy's home in Churchton to meet our new adorable grandson....River Silas. He is absolutely beautiful. He is only five weeks old and already does multivariable calculus. Sonny is three and is so smart and full of life. We met Jennifer and her new beau the next day. What a wonderful couple. Jennifer is so happy and Wyatt is just a delight. We couldn't be happier. We will definitely be going to Baltimore frequently!!!

My 60th Birthday

Well....I am officially the big 60. I actually had a great birthday. Mike, Emma, Mark and Genevieve came to the cabin and celebrated all weekend with Jack and I. We played games, ate birthday cake all weekend, went out to dinner and took advantage of free labor to cut down some unwanted pine trees. Mike and Emma planted a peach tree (a birthday gift), and Mark installed a water filter..... It is so nice to have such talented children. This was the perfect celebration....spending time with the people I love the most.
