Spring has Sprung!

Or at least.. it's giving it a darn good try! Don't you just love when the snow melts, and all that doggie doo that's been layered in amongst all the layers of snow, just pops right out and you have about 200 piles of it on your grass? Yeah... now you know what I just had the luxury of cleaning up. Oi vey.
Speaking of dogs... I had the basement door open so Stella could wander in and out.. and suddenly I hear a loud CRUNCH. Stella is on the COUCH chewing on a nasty MOUSE that Cleo must have killed and left outside. BLECH. I still cannot get the sound of that crunching our of my brain. Ugh...

Okay, enough of the lovely stories. I took the boys for their eye exams and Blake will need glasses by next year probably, and turns out Cole has a weak left eye and will benefit from glasses right now. So, with the Alberta government's program, he picked out a free pair today and they should be in soon. He will just wear them while watching TV and seeing the board.. and we go back in 3 months for him, to see if it's any better and if we should be patching his eye... (I get flashbacks of my eye patches, taking them off with that sticky adhesive was BAD.. lol.. but my Mom and Dad always drew something cool on them for me). So, I will post pictures when he gets his glasses... he looks darn cute in them.. even if I was hoping they wouldn't need glasses until they're about 10!

So, Gran got transferred to the hospice yesterday.. and Aunt Judy has been down the last week or so, and is staying a while longer. Gran is in and out of coherence.. a lot of garbled talk that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to US, but it does to her. I pray every day for her..

Anyways.. I should mosey... I have laundry to fold and trim to paint, kids to play with and a kitchen to clean. :)

Oh, and an oldie just for your viewing pleasure.. lol

I hate titles...

I can never think of anything to put for these darn titles...

It was a balmy 8 degrees here today... we enjoyed some time outside, going to a walk, talking with the neighbours... just getting some fresh air. What a nice and pleasant change from the -20 we have been getting.
Last night we went to the H.O.G. social... it was fun, met some new people.. though I thought it might have been more organized. BUT, with that said.. we needed to get out and meet new people.. and it was the perfect opportunity. Eric already has a partner to ride with when the new season starts.. they both have 2007 HD Sportster 1200C's... so it should be fun for them.

I was talking to Mom today, as per normal... and she's told me that Gran is going downhill fast... insofar as actually 'seeing the light' last night. They didn't think she would make it through the night, but was actually a teensy bit better this morning.. probably as the result of the antibiotics for the UTI. However, fact is, she has COPD, heart failure and they've recently discovered a tumor on her bronchial tubes... so it sadly doesn't look as though it will be long before her big journey begins. I feel helpless out here, wishing so badly that I could be there... I asked Mom to tell Gran that I love her... I hope she's coherent enough to hear it. :(
