we had a busy week when barb came. i worked late every night from 2am to 3am when i was supposed to get off at 11 pm. but no sleep gotta get up and be with barb. we painted and shopped. had the weekend off and we went to lavender feilds in harbenson. nothing but lavendere plants and gift shop. we took mom there for mothers day. then home to paint and get wade off to the prom. and promaide then off to eat at a resturant. sunday we gathered at noras for a huge picnic. forgot my camara and yes people who now me that is a huge disappointment. but believe it or not i did not feel like walking or even driving back to the house. very short distance. here are some pictures of the week.

little history about this beutiful red barn. dad bought 80 acres several years back before he retired. it had a old grey barn. i thought LOVELY but it is dads choice. he painted it his favorite color red. he painted EVERYTHING RED. again i told him there is other colors dad. then he rented it to people needing a barn so we took care of goats, horses and they would pay dad. it was fun to have access with the animals on your own property free horse back rides. and could feed horses when you wanted. then i decided to move on the property and it became the best property prop alone with the christmas trees he planted. and now that dad has passsed away it is the best most special barn there is. thanks for the purchess dad. i think of you constantly. after church i will get some old pictures of the goats and horses. till then have a great day.

and winter is gone
