ROBBY PASSED!!!!














This is a young man who never wanted to study when he was in school. Now he really wanted his CDL license badly and has been studying like a fiend. He passed the first section - 2 more to go. WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM.

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!

What would St. Patty's Day be without a party? So my creative daughter, Alicia, took the opportunity to have over some friends from high school that she's reconnected with and their kids for a St. Patty's Day Celebration. I was greeted by a ton of shamrocks.









I loved the window decorations and the new beer cooler












When I arrived, there were kids everywhere! It was difficult to know which kids belonged to which parent. BUT my daughter, you know the grown up, was spray painting the kid's hair GREEN! But Shane had to be different and have his hair spray painted red. Like mom, like son.....

And of course, it seems, that a pinata has become a necessity at every party.










HOW MUCH CANDY CAN THERE BE????????










And if the candy wasn't enough sugar, they decorated their own cupcake!

I, however, was waiting for the GOOD STUFF. Chris' sister is the best cake maker EVER! This is the cake she designed for St. Patty.

ISN'T IT CUTE!

After all that sugar, it was time for competition! SO we played pin the shamrock on the leprechaun. NEVER HEARD OF IT? Well......
MEANWHILE..... back at the table is Griffin neatly arranging the prizes

And the REAL reason I join all this chaos is

20 Degrees One Week, 75 Degrees the Next

It was such a warm day today, I started back on my daily walks. I decided to take a picture of my favorite place to walk. Knowing that this beautiful farm is at the end of the road, makes it easier for me to keep from cutting my walks short. Otherwise, I would probably only walk half as far.












Along the way, I found this tube wedged in between the mailboxes. I guess the kids were tubing in the snow last week and were too tired to carry it home. LOL



Who would have guessed that we would have had 75 Degree weather when it was snowing like crazy just a week ago. I just had to take a comparison picture. In Maryland, it's hard to predict the weather.

SNOW, SNOW, SNOW

There is something to be said about listening to the news for the weather report. I thought we were going to get this











Instead, we got this
