Day 307 (Saturday, June 4th) ~ David Graduate's High School!

My youngest brother, he's 17, had his graduation ceremony today.  I have been feeling sick since last night, but I was so proud of him that the rush of emotions was enough to get me through the ceremony without even thinking about it.  Yay, Dave!

Me and Ashley... I graduated the same place in 2004, her sister graduated in 2006, and she'll graduate from here next year!

David and Jakki graduated together!

Day 306 (Friday, June 3rd) ~ Painting the Roses Red....

Our living room is Wine Red... and Suzanne and I couldn't stop singing "we're painting the Roses Red" from Alice in Wonderland all night!  By now, we're tired of painting... so for now it will remain unfinished until we can stand it again!

Day 305 (Thursday, June 2nd) ~ To do list...

Give Sofia the night gown I found her almost a year ago now...

Check!

Put the dispenser thingy that grandma bought me for the bath tub over two years ago now...

Check!

Buy an ironing board, now that we have space for it, to go with the iron we were given almost two years ago now AND put a dresser in my closet...

Check!!!!!

Day 304 (Wednesady, June 1st) ~ Catalina Coast...

Today was a very "blue" day... I took Kateri in her little pool... she calls it "the water".  Then in the evening, Anna, Ricky, Charlie and Suzanne came over to help start painting our bedroom!  Catalina Coast is the color! It's my first painted room since I was very little!

Day 303 (Tuesday, May 31st) ~ All that's left....

Today was our last day to clean and get out of the old apartment!

Kateri had worked so hard helping that she got tired and the only place out of our way of cleaning was our coat closet... she loves my Winchester bear!

Day 302 (Monday, May 30th) ~ Strawberry Jam Day

We were in the straberry patch at 9:00 this morning to pick for our annual supply of strawberry jam!  Then it was back home for hours of slicing, mixing and canning!  If you don't pick or help, you don't get any... which is fine with us, more for us :)

The most beautiful jam we think we ever have seen!

Day 301 (Sunday, May 29th) ~ 12 hours of priming....

.... and we refused to give up til it was all done, which was at 2:30 in the morning!

The "death trap" which we became very good friends with as it was moved from wallto wall around the whole apartment to reach up high!
