Sunday Stuff

Eric and I were out running some errands today. While we were at the Christmas Tree Shop (yes, he voluntarily went there with me!) we saw this display. Isn't it a hoot! We saw Gary's name first, then Greg's and thought that was funny, then Eric noticed his name on top. I had to take a picture of it. 

And good news... the lawn guy mowed the lawn!

And Eric has been busy working the annual TelAuc. One more weekend after this, then he's home-free.

Oops

I just realized I haven't posted anything lately. Sorry about that! There's really not a whole lot going on. Which isn't a bad thing. 

The above photo will be our "before" shot. The after shot will come next week when we have 6 of those trees removed. It will be pretty obvious in the group of trees to the left of the house. (To the left in this image.) 4 of those trees will be gone, including that one in the middle that looks like it's starting to fall by itself.

Eric is doing well. He's still pretty pooped after a full day of work. He's also been working longer hours/days since TelAuc started last week. So he's extra pooped because of that. Also, his hands and feet are still numb. His appetite is back, as is most of his ability to taste foods. He's eating pretty well. And gaining some more of the weight back.

Poor Jenny. Our lawn guy still hasn't mowed our lawn. We're "that house" on our street. It's really sad. We'd mow it ourselves if we had a mower. Eric put a call into the lawn guy tonight. We don't even know if he's still in town. He's cut our lawn for 8 years, you'd think he'd give us a heads up if he wasn't coming back! Hopefully we'll  hear something soon. Really soon would be nice.

The cruise countdown is down to 30. Getting closer!!

Jazz Night

Last night we spent the evening at the Blue Moon Grill's "Under the Moon" watching a local jazz band. We've been several times, it's always a nice evening.

This time we brought Bob and his wife Robin. I think they enjoyed the evening too!

Good food, good friends and good music, a perfect mix!

The countdown is at 35 days. We've been "collecting" summer clothing and other items we'll need. The tickets are printed, the luggage tags are ready to go. I even picked out the books I'll read on the balcony. Oh and I got Eric some new "cruise wear." We're not excited about vacation or anything...

A Beautiful Evening

We had "date night" last night. On a Tuesday! We went to a very extravagant restaurant (Wendy's) for a quick bite to eat on our way to the theater.

And then we headed to the Landmark Theatre for the wonderful musical, Beautiful. The music was fantastic, and I really enjoyed the story of the life of Carole King and how they integrated it with her music. It was great! Highly recommend it, if you ever get a chance to see it.

Easter Sunday 2017

We had a great Easter dinner at Gary & Paula's house today.

Eric's feeling pretty good, he even had a couple of beers!

Photobomber Kelly. And look how tall Laura has gotten!

Cheers!

Bella is such a good poser.

These two almost ate an entire Coconut Cream Pie.

Here's a fun Easter throw-back to 2012 when we hosted an Easter Egg Hunt for Laura & Kelly!

Saturday Stuff

We took advantage of a break in the weather today for a walk around the neighborhood.

Yep, that's right. We're exercising and getting healthier!

Also, this happened today. In case you hadn't heard. Isn't he adorable??

Clear!

Eric got the all-clear today. What a huge relief. I know we were both pretty nervous. But it was all good news from the doctor. We got to look through the scans as he explained things, everything looked good. Eric's next visit is July 12th for some blood work and then a follow up with the doctor on the 13th. Then he has to have another colonoscopy shortly after that. But until then, we get 3 months of just enjoying life.
