Lilacs and Notes

There is not much happening on the house hunting scene so this post will cover a few topics closer to home.

My Macintosh computer died; it is a 2005 model and I can’t get it to boot even from it’s install CD. So…I pulled out my even older Mac and am using that for now. Not a good time to have to think about replacing a computer but it will have to be done; probably with a used but newer Mac. Then will come the project of trying to move all files from the dead Mac to the new one. Not looking forward to that.

I mentioned our white lilac in my last post; it is now blooming quite nicely for the first time in it’s life.. Here are a few photos of all three of our lilacs in bloom:

The aroma of all the lilacs in bloom fills the air.

Tulips are almost done but a few iris flowers are beginning to appear and one of the peony plants will blossom shortly. Even one of the hybrid columbine plants is developing some flower nodes. We are in full spring!

Both of the kids will be here beginning May 25 so I need to level the RV and get it ready to use as a spare bedroom. We are looking forward to having the kids here for a few days as it has been some time since we were all together. Both of us have put in for several days of vacation so we can spend time as a family.

We have decided to get the Honda fixed this month; it needs a transmission installed. I will take it to the shop on May 16 and it should be done same-day. (The rebuilt transmission has already been purchased and shipped to the shop who will be doing the work,)

So life goes on…not a lot of excitement this time around but a number of things upcoming that will make life busy. Then, in June, we will take the RV up to our Sanderling Court lot and get started on our summer activities.

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!~

Pam’s Two Cents Worth:

Love, love, love the longer evenings filled with light.

Still pondering our previous post house hunt, having a hard time (mentally) letting that last one go.

Happy Trails.

    ooh, I LOVE lilacs! I wish the screen had a scratch and sniff! Sounds like a good month of getting stuff done. So exciting to have the kids home and some days off together! 🙂 I’m excited for you guys to pack up for the lot! Ready for some summer!
    Sorry about that house Pam 🙁 Just means it wasn’t the right one! There would have been some discovery–like it was over an old Indian burial ground or something–just tell yourself that 🙂
    Hope you had a great Mother’s Day! We had a weekend of nice weather and back to rain and cooler temps here…
