Lunch with friends

Sunday..

A day to relax,

go to Worship,

and relax some more.

 

George has a nasty cold..

so I left him behind to doze.

I drove the 35 minutes south, 

to the church I belong to.

We never could find one we liked

up in Wilkes-Barre,

so I do the drive most every Sunday.

 

It is always nice to see everyone,

and sing in the choir..

even without rehearsing!

 

Today, I had the pleasure of going

out to lunch with some

of my choir buddies.

 

 

They all are terrific ladies!

With Easter coming, 

I stayed behind to rehearse the Easter anthems.

My favorite time of year :-)

Moving right along..

Just another weekend..

one weekend closer

to getting going with our plans.

 

Friday when I got home from work..

I found that George had made 

us a little patio outside Harvey.

We had a nice time sitting

out in the warmth of the sun.

It was another good vantage point

for watching our birds..

Daddy Cardinal

Chickadee

 

 

 

I took my camera and

walked out behind the RV,

into the property that was

under water in September.

Still lots of stuff from

the flood in the tree lines..

Still, flowers grow..

This afternoon we decided to

go through our winter clothes,

and purge some of them

for Salvation Army.

The rest we put in space bags

under the bed,

and got out our cooler clothes.

Of course, that being done..

the temperatures are going

to be more seasonal..

50's..

Soon it will be warm all the time!

Our fine feathered friends

Another beautiful Saturday!

We lazed around a bit,

then decided to go

wash my car at

the local do it yourself car wash.

It looked nice afterwards.

We treated ourselves to

lunch at Andy's diner.

They recently reopened after the flood,

the inside looks great!

I didn't take my camera,

so unfortunately, no pictures!

We grocery shopped

afterwards, then came

home and got the 

chairs out and sat in the sun.

We hung a new bird feeder..

..for our feathered friends.

The cardinal is so skittish..

it's hard to get a decent picture of him.

We are learning different birds..

mostly sparrows in our backyard.

Looking forward to see other

species of birds in 

different parts of the country!

Spring forward!

Wow, spring has sprung

in the northeast!

What a beautiful day it was.

We decided it was time to 

dust off the bikes (literally!).

They still had mud on them

from the flood.

We put them in the truck, 

then drove across the bridge

to the dike that is directly

across from our property.

We pedaled 4 miles,

against a headwind..

it was tough,

we're outta shape!

It was warm though, and it

felt good to get outside.

George took the binoculars

to spy ;-)

Actually, he was watching

the planes take off 

from the Wyoming Valley airport.

We need to get out there 

more and get some of 

that fresh air & sunshine.

Not to mention exercise :-)

 

When we got back,

the sun was still warm,

so I had George get out

one of our new zero-gravity recliners.

It was really nice to sit and soak up the sun..

 

 

..and listen to the wind chimes..

and talk about our plans..

 

It's getting closer!

Another lazy weekend

You know...

it was a pretty quiet weekend..

Friday night we went out

to 'de-stress'

at Olive Garden..

had a nice meal,

and a nice libation..

 

Saturday was laundry day,

and a bit of quiet time for me.

We rented three movies:

Dolphin Tale (cute, but predictable)

The Whistleblower (not my type of movie, but was good!)

The Bridesmaids (I liked it more than I thought I would)

It was horribly windy all

day yesterday..

we kept checking the slide toppers,

but they did fine.

The river is still behaving.

Today we visited our home church,

then went for groceries.

While we were relaxing, 

watching the flurries outside..

we had a couple visitors :-)

 They both had fun petting the 'kitty'..

Too cute!
