Kansas weather

Well, here I am making my second post of the day. It is typical Kansas weather. Yesterday was beautiful in Wichita. Had a great time. Today we are having snow and sleet. Here is a view from our front window. Spring has got to be coming soon.

Great women in my life

Yesterday RJ and I went to Wichita to see Carrie and her family. They are here for the week from Boston. It was so good to see them. I hated to leave there more than when we went to see them in Boston in October. But the good news is that they will be back in about 4 months. So the countdown has started. Here is a picture of the  great women in my life.

our future homesite

Well, today we went to pick out where we want our home. This was the best lot to put the carport on. The front of the trailer will face the street like it does now. Our home will be one of the first homes that you will see when you enter the park from the east entrance. This picture was taken half way up the hill behind the lot. There will not be anyone in our back yard because of the hill. The small stump in the front of the lot is to be removed and they said that I could plant a blazing maple in the front like I have here. Here is the site we picked.

spring cleaning

I have been hit with spring fever. Since we are planning on moving soon, I have started to go through some stuff. I started in the kitchen today. Rearranged my cabinets and threw away 3 bags of trash. I still have some cabinets to go through but it is looking better. I should have less to pack when I am done. What a great feeling.

I DID IT !

I don't usually blog twice in one day but today I got a job offer and accepted it. I am so happy. It was hard not knowing each week if I was going to find something or not. I know I will be ready when I retire because I will not be looking for something everyday. I did enjoy my time off but there were a few things that I hadn't gotten to yet that I wanted to do and you needed money for this. Now I can finish my short list.

cold winter days

Is this a sign that the winter is going to be a bad one? This squirrel is huge. But I guess it doesn't help that we are feeding them.

Silly me, I thought we had one squirrel and I named him Rocky. But now it looks like we have at least 2 squirrels. So now we have Chip and Dale but I don't know one from the other.

Here is a shot of one of the squirrels reaching into the box to get the food. Caught him with his hand in the cookie jar.
                                          

            I think spring may be around the corner. Looks like love to me.

SUPER BOWL 2011

Are you ready for some football? We are having a super bowl party. Bring your chips and beer and come on over. Getting ready for the game to start. RJ and I are for Green Bay.

For the birds

When you have weather like this, it is best to stay inside. Because we did not go anywhere, we had to find our own entertainment. I was concerned about the animals outside. RJ fed the cats but I worried about the birds and the squirrel that visits our tree in the front yard. RJ put the birdseed in the squirrel feeder but the birds could not get to this. I went out and spread some of the seed out on the snow. Here are a couple of the pictures that I took of the birds.

Here you can see that we have at least 3 male redbirds and 1 female redbird in the tree and at the feeder. We also had blue jays, red-headed woodpeckers, and small little birds (don't know what they were).

Here are a couple more redbirds, male and female. Some other birds are down on the ground. As I said before, this weather is FOR THE BIRDS.

another interview

Well, it looks like I have another job interview this Friday at a nursing home in Topeka. I wouldn't mind working in a nursing home. Did this before I became a RN. Will keep you posted on the outcome. Wish me luck.
