Happy Mother's Day and a few projects

Happy Mother's Day to all the special ladies in my life but especially to my mom who the most amazing woman in the world. I am so thankful for all she has done for me in my life. We had a great brunch with my Mom and Dad, Grandma, Aunt Nettie, Stefanie (sister), Mike and Trevin. Before we left my brother-in-law shared some exciting news.. my sister is pregnant with TWINS!!! Needless, to say it is a bittersweet pill to swallow. However, I politely asked her if I could please just have one of them! We then went to my Grandma and Grandpa's house where I got 22 cups of rhubarb.
I see some pies and muffins in my future. I also scored a great rusty chair from one of their 'stashes'. I was drooling over all the fabulous rusty items. It's temporary home is next to the shed in the back yard but I'm starting to think it might relocate to a different flower bed or I need to add some more greener where it is now.

On the way home we did a little home shopping. We found a couple possibilities. One is in the country 40 years old and on 6 acres with A LOT of out buildings. It is nice and quiet but I see A LOT of work involved with that one. We then went and looked at a brand new development with an awesome house, 4 beds, a huge kitchen, and a bonus room above the garage. It would be great to get the new house on the 5 acres, wishful thinking. It's nice to dream once in awhile. However, 3 houses on our street have sold the last 3 months so that is promising if we decide to sell it. Not sure what our plan is but we are outgrowing our house and if this summer goes well we will be exploding!!

Then I finished my Easter Scribble It blocks.

Any chocolate in that case!

I wish I could say that my to do list is getting shorter, however it seems like one thing gets crossed off and three get added. Oh, such is life. Now it's time for bed because I have a busy week ahead.
