Its my Friday

Yep, that's right, it is my Friday and I don't have to go back till monday night. I just love a four day holiday. and, to top it off, i got to leave an hour early from work. so, Lorrie and I went to breakfast on the way home. we haven't done that since I started this whole workout diet thing and it felt really good. but then, as soon as I got home, I changed into my walking clothes and went for my walk. i was a little concerned i would cramp up after eating out, but that didn't happen. It supposed to rain today, the sky is grey and it is really threatening. so, there was lots more walkers in the park today, all anticipating the rain. its a good thing any time it rains in california I think, so we don't complain too much around here if it rains, we work around it and say thank you.

as i walked into my front yard, i noticed the rose bush on the other side of the yard again. there are rose buds all over it and the stems are long and straight. I see them every day, but today they looked especially beautiful. I am not a rose kind of person usually, but this year, these are the most brilliant i have ever seen them. I cant take any credit, john takes care of the yard. so i grabbed my camera and started shooting. I added, or should i say and currently loading an album of the flowers in my yard. some of them turned out really good. I may even cut some of these and bring them in to enjoy.

So this morning as soon as i get off here I'm gonna get started on my house. i really, and i mean really need to get this done. i don't know what i have been doing, but it hasn't been cleaning my house. so that is what happening today. this weekend we are going to johns sisters house so alex can see some of his family before he leaves. we will be staying in a hotel, but we are supposed to bring something for dinner on sunday. i had to really think on this, and i decided on a carrot cake. that keeps well as long as I can keep my hands off it. so I am making two. one for us, and one to take.

well, i better get going so I can get my house clean. check out the flowers if you get a chance, they really are pretty. and if i don't talk to you past today, I really hope you all have a wonderful easter holiday,  however you spend it.
