One of the perks of retirement is lazy breakfasts playing cribbage. He skunked me royally! Who gets dealt four 3's or two 7's and two 8's and then a 9 gets turned up = 24 pts!!  Crazy!! He did the dishes...

Jesse made the dough for our pizza tonight and with Mom's help, learned how to knead the bread as well. I love that Jesse loves to be in the kitchen.

There are signs coming up in the back yard. As soon as we get past the next cold week, hopefully we will be in full on spring mode.

I got to watch Lucy's last day of class gymnastics demonstration and certificate award today.  She has done very well and absolutely loves gymnastics. I was going to remove that huge bruise on her knew but nope - this is a mark of hard work and courage!

 112/365 Lunch

It was a hot one today. Temps hit 24C but I am sure it was much warmer on this south facing deck. Spent the morning on the yard again and enjoyed our first lunch on the deck this year. The snow is almost completely gone and the pool tarp will be off soon.
