April 30 2012...  Ron has been retired ONE  Month.  How crazy is that.... Not sure WHERE the time has gone.  Is he driving me Crazy??   Not YET.  LOVE having him home.   We share 3 meals a day.... WHICH is the weird part.  Not use to that.... BUT he get's up and clears the table and start washing the dishes.....  NICE!.
LOVE no alarm clock going off.... but we still are  waking  up at 6... or we did in the beginning... Got to 8 just last week....
Ron's  been working WAY to Hard..  Getting the yard work done, putting up a light in the field down by the wood shed,  draining the pool, mowing the yard., tilling the garden....  and cleaning in his shop...  I  take a Nap.... I know how this retirement is to WORK!
WE did get the potatoes, onions , carrots, and beets in the garden Saturday... Rest will go in when we get back from Boise.  Finding it hard to believe garden season is ALL MOST HERE.!... SO Ready for FRESH  veggies!.. NOT the weeding... BUT I'll have HELP.....;)

 Food wasn't coming FAST enough for Johnny...

 Enjoying a Family lunch...

 Mady celebrated her birthday with a cookie Pizza.

 April 21 2012 we had a Family lunch at the Olive Garden.... Helen and John came too.. Food was GREAT and the Clean up was AWESOME!

 Birthday GIRL!

 Papa ordered Cheese cakes for Birthday GIRL  ... we all sang to Mady!

 Time to get measured.... been a whole Year!...JET  wasn't to sure about this!

Grandpa had kits of birds houses for them to do.   They had fun painting them.!....and making them!

 This will be the Project Ron will be working on for the next few MONTHS... Maybe YEARS.....BUT if it keeps him out of my hair...... it will be JUST  fine!

 I LOVE Retirement....  First time I didn't have to till the garden.... LOVE  IT!

 Laurie Coles  HILL stopped by for a visit.  A OLD friend.  We grow up together in Church!...She lived in Post Falls... and was in the Dalton Ward!

 Ron sharing his feelings of his 37 years of service..

 RON wasn't  to upset with me with his gift.  NEW  Ladder from the KIDS....  and I got him overalls, weeding bucket with weeding tools and gloves.  Everyone got a Good laugh over that!

 OH  Forgot about the knee pads too...

 Larry built Ron a shadow box with all his Patches and Medals.

Larry was telling about what they had Planned on getting him after talking with me....Overalls, knee pads, garden tools.  BUT decided on something to take him away from Yard work..... Not knowing that's what I had got him...  WAS  Way to funny!  They gave him a fishing Pontoon float.  Very nice.  RON will LOVE  IT.  BUT its for ONE!
