March Updates

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending" -C.S. Lewis

March was a very busy month. We spent a lot of time with our Texas grands and catching up with friends we won't see for eight months. March also was the beginning of our northern migration. We left about a month earlier since we have our new home in Lewisburg and had things we still wanted to do before we head to the lake for the summer.

We enjoyed quite a few nice days at the beach...the seagulls love to steal your snacks.

One of our favorite places to have lunch on a pretty day is Moondog. It's even better when friends come with us.

No better way to spend an afternoon than with friends enjoying good food and a fruity drink.

Our friends spent spring break week at a RV park close to our boat. We had fun playing with them and their grandsons.

No campout is complete without s'mores.

It took us four months to figure out when we could all get together for a girls night at Janice's beach house. One day we're going to plan a longer get together at a nice place in Port Aransas.

One last happy hour on the top deck of Texas Pearl. There is no better view in Rockport.

Good-bye Texas Pearl.

Our car was extremely full this year...hopefully we'll be bringing less back next fall. This was our 59th trip to or from the east coast in the last thirteen years and each one brings its own surprises. This year we were stuck in standstill traffic for two hours west of Beaumont. It was insane, but once we were out of Texas things improved and we decided to drive straight through.

We put up a bird feeder and it is very popular with the birds and a few other guests.

This little bunny stopped by one morning...

and these two guys became regulars. Morning and night.

We've seen this groundhog near the shed in the back several times, but on this day he decided to check out what all the fuss was about around the feeder. He enjoyed munching on the grass as he cruised through the yard.

Just a few of the beautiful flowers that were blooming when we arrived in Lewisburg. Next month I will show you more from our amazing yard.

We spent Easter with Kyle and his family. Church, good food, lots of laughter, s'mores and cascarones (Confetti Eggs). Everyone had a good time.  

We even had time to paint a few rocks.

Cora showed me all she's been learning in her sewing classes. I'm so proud of her. It's truly amazing what she can do at such a young age.

And Hattie is always entertaining.

We needed to pick up some things for the house in a nearby town, so we checked out Selin's Grove Brewing for lunch. The brewery is fairly new but the building they are in was built in 1816.
