I have been suspiciously absent from my blogspot lately.
Seems that my thoughts and impressions have taken a back seat to the necessity for
physical labor and an attempt to return the Apartments at Bayview Scenic back
to what the property used to look like when Dean and I lived there. We are and have been grateful for the gift
that was given to us back in 2006. We had lived in a 19.5 foot trailer for
several years. When the job at Bayview Scenic Motel became available and we
moved into the Managers Apartment, we were ecstatic. Silly me I thought someone else would be appreciative
for the opportunity. With the help of our son, Josh, we have been able to
complete a great deal of work, there is still more to do.
Dean and I have been able to still volunteer some of our
time for LOU and I am editing the Bayview Bylines as well as remaining the
Member at Large for the Chamber. We are
moving swiftly towards the summer months and July 4th Bayview Daze.
At this point I do not have much to report.
To the best of my knowledge Scenic Bay Marina will still be doing the
Street Fair.
The Chamber has been having speakers at our meetings, this
next month Kathi Ellis will speak to us about her book that she recently
published. Last month Alan Griffitts gave a presentation about submarine
research on Lake Pend Oreille.
I don’t know about everyone else but I am anxiously awaiting
Spring to Sprung. Much to Dean’s dismay I am starting seeds. Dean produced a
potato tower for me, we are also going to attempt the “rain gutter” planter
this year for lettuce. Last year I had a huge pot that had the most gorgeous
foliage, when the kids were here they all commented on the amount of foliage
and asked what I was growing (I have a tendency to overzealous with seeds) I
was sure these were seeds that Lucas had sent and I was waiting to the plants
to start blooming. The short of the tail is the beautiful foliage turned out to
be red oak leaf lettuce, boy was that lettuce great! This year’s other
experiment is patio corn. My tomatoes did well last year so I thought this year
I would try patio corn AND trellis cucumbers. I need to retire from my regular
job, ya know!
Well enough of my profound thinking for the evening.
We, Dean and I love all of you, well pretty close to all of
you.
God bless and shine His face upon you!
