UnFOURgettably 4 Friday!

Soooooo now we aren't only having a battle with bird's nesting, we are also trying to evict flying things from our ceiling fan. It never ends and that is what makes life, I suppose, but seriously, I could never feel the need to battle flying things and be all right! 

There was an upside this week as we took a day trip to the local lake. It was good to get wet. The blow up paddle board is a really fun toy and we both enjoyed paddling around the cove. This may become a weekly thing. It was a chore to pump that baby up and our backs and arms felt the paddling but in a good way. Keeping our bodies steadily moving and not overdoing will pay dividends in the end.

Blowing up the board! So easy...

Really enjoyed our day trip to the lake and maybe we will take ROADA next time as we found out the campgrounds are empty during the week.

I'm sure you are just as thrilled as we are to have a bird update. 

Rest assured, we are NOT giving up...but we back to doing battle with the birds again. The robins have now attempted to make a nest IN THE SPIKES. Then we have two little wrens who have found their way under the gutter guards and tried to make a nest in the gutter itself. These birds are certainly persistent that is for sure. And our two fake snakes and owls have not deterred anything! Except maybe the hummingbirds because it has been a few weeks since we have seen those little guys.

It's been 34 years for MiRV and I. Thirty-four. That's a milestone in my book! We work hard to have what we have. We share, care and trust. It's been a wild road we've traveled but we traveled it together. We are still finding the road sometimes has blind curves, huge hills and a few dead ends. We just try to remember to stay on the road! And remember our motto, "Adapt and Overcome" it will get you through some of those tough spots.

Celebrate the small and big things. That's what we try to do. Even the everyday things. Don't take what you have for granted. Love always. Look to God for the needs you have not another person or thing. Find satisfaction within yourself and you will be a much happier being. Just my .02.

Oh, my, Man vs Bird continues...but we have a new weapon in our corner. Bird spikes. Hoping for less bird activity under the patio cover. If you missed the original posting on this, it is HERE. We like birds, really we do! We just DO NOT want them nesting under the patio cover. We have tried several things from a rubber snake to an owl to shiny hanging things. Nothing seems to work and we were forever cleaning up nest making attempts. It was time to get serious. This is our final hope...well, maybe not but I hate to think of what we will need to try next.

In other news we are staying safe and staying home...within reason. Hope you are doing well. Of course, we are missing those up North.

Stay safe, stay well, stay home when you can!

We might have headed back up into the North again and had a little more time with the Daughter and Bee...

Molly, the doll, who is more commonly known as "Sweetie" is the toy of the week.

Time, of course, passes too quickly, but we are thankful for every moment. Things seem to be coming into a new normal for most of us. What the future is gonna look like is anybody's guess. Travel is odd, finding open restrooms is a challenge and all eating is done in the car. States are starting to relax guidelines but personally we are still taking our time getting out and about among the crowds. 

There may or may not have been a Filet-O-Fish sandwich last night for her dinner...obtained through the drive-thru in case you were wondering! She ate every last bite!

Stay safe, stay well!

And here we are 88 days later...

FINALLY!

The last time we saw her we had just had her at the Meadow for a week. It's been tough not seeing her with the exception of video calling. She has grown at least 3 inches. WOWSA! She has also grown in her verbal skills, again, with words that "who knew" a four year old even knew let alone use correctly. Okay, then.

I'm sure LaLa will make a Filet o Fish sandwich visit happen before we leave as that is still a big favorite, light tartar sauce, please. It will have to be drive thru but that works for her so it's all good!

Stay safe, stay well!

It's May! Happy May Day as a little girl I remember hanging flowers on our neighbors doors on May Day. I don't think people in the U.S.A. do that anymore but when we lived in Europe they still did. I almost bought flowers at the grocery store today now I wish I had.

It's been an uneventful week in our area. Pretty much same-o same-o. Wash, rinse, repeat. I'm soooo ready to be able to go North. I'm ready to just be able to get out and about. I realize that is most likely gonna be some time in the future. Just not sure how far into the future. Oh, well, carry on, I suppose, it could be worse! Thankful we are well and those we love are, too. 

Stay safe, stay well, stay home!
