What a beautiful week...there is something about spring that just makes you feel better.  We've been busy working on our flower garden and "pretty-ing up" our lawn.  Working outside in the sun is always so therapeutic.  A good friend of mine (one of my heart parents) sent us a ton of flower seeds...Jacob's Ladder, Morning Glory, Forget Me Nots...we were supposed to plant them along our way on the train, but it turns out that there aren't many places to plant seeds at all of the stops...so we are spreading them out to all of our favorite places.  ***  Today is Chris's birthday, so we went up to Clarion and had dinner with the family at a steakhouse...it figures that last week I decided to count Weight Watcher Points again!!!  So I enjoyed my fish (in the steakhouse), while I drooled over everyone else's juicy steaks.  Oh well, no biggy...nothing tastes as good as thin feels...isn't that what they program into you at those meetings?  And I was down a good bit this week, so I guess I'll stick with it. ***  On another note, there is a company I found that can convert pictures into cross stitch patterns, so I sent in a picture from our trip.  I have this saying that I love, "The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even touched.  They must be felt in the heart." (Helen Keller), and I wanted to cross stitch it for my house...I searched for the perfect pattern at several craft stores, but didn't find anything that shouted it was "the one."  So I took a picture I already had that was definitely "the one," and hopefully it will look as good as I want it to when it's done.  I guess we'll see....

Oh yeah, and Happy Anniversay to Dad & Jody!
