Here are the photos that were promised in my last blog!! Is that awesome or what?











We are now in Prosser after having spent several days with Sheila and the boys in Mt. Home. She didn't tell them when/or if we would be there, so it was a fun surprise to show up at their door to take the boys to the MH for dinner. They are both turning out for track this spring and Warren is still busy creating his Space Chicken saga. Nolan spent Saturday hiding Easter eggs with the church youth group and then went to church with us Sunday.

Sheila treated us to Sunday brunch at the club, and on Saturday night she invited the Hoovers for dinner. She and I prepared beef kebobs and she made an awesome Mediterranean salad with tomatoes, and peppers and feta cheese; that served along with rice and freshly purchased bread with angel food cake for dessert. All washed down with some good wine!!! Yum yum.

Our Sarah has been working in the restaurant at the golf course at the University of Maryland ever since she started school there and is now a manager. Now as she is finishing her second year, she was nominated for the Emma Powers award which recognizes one of the 500 individuals who work in dining services at the UofM..................and yes, she was the chosen employee. We are so proud of her for all of her hard work as well as keeping on track with her grades, and along with the recognition is a $500 scholarship!!

We have had one day of wine tasting while here in Prosser, and will get out to do some more today. We are up to two cases plus two bottles, but I'm sure we can find room for more in the MH before we head to Steilacoom on Saturday.

We heard some rain pattering on the roof early last evening, but at the moment the sky is a glorious blue with just a hint of some poufy white clouds on the horizon. I love this part of the country, probably because I am a farm girl, and I enjoy seeing all the new growth, the green, and the beautiful flowers and flowering trees. The apple trees are in full bloom, but from a distance it looks like the grapes are still asleep. I read in the paper today where the cool weather is creating some worry for the farmers, particularly for the asparagus crop that should be in full swing by now.

The next blog will be from Steilacoom! Ciao
