EASTER BUNNY MISSED US THIS YEAR!

Here we are, almost thru March and our weather in Mineola is grand. Should be in the 80's today and spring is in full bloom. Our Bradford pear trees have bloomed and leafed out, jonquils gone but best of spring in our yard are the 6 dogwoods we have. They are beautiful right now!

I so look forward to them as they are one of my favorite flowering trees. When we drive down the road in many places looking back into the trees, you can see these wonderful floating flowers!

We are going to take a drive today to see spring in bloom and I hope to use my new camera to take some more spring pictures.

We have just returned from Dallas for about 12 days. Taking care of our "grand dogs, and pets"while Jennifer, Mark and kids went to Florida for spring break. Pets are easy but the electronics in their home---remotes etc. we very stressful. We completely messed up on Sat. night and couldn't get anything on one of the TV's. We need better lessons next time.

My good friend, Penny and I taught a two day class on Polymer Clay Jewelry and it was great! We addicted several ladies and will meet and the League of the Arts once a month for a play clay day. Nice to have some East Texas PolyClayers!

Didn't get a picture of Buddy this year for Easter. We were in Dallas and just didn't get to it so here in one from last year. Since Easter was so early this year, the Bluebonnet's are not in full bloom as yet. They were last year. Here he is!!!!! Will be doing some Bluebonnet pics soon.

Well, off the breakfast and a ride. Hope to be able to take some pictures today.

MARCH MOVED IN TO MINEOLA--78 DEGREES

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY FROM TEXAS

February is gone and even with an extra day, it went to fast for the Woosley's life. We had a great February weather wise and our winter has been so mild, we didn't seem to notice it came and went. Not so for our friends and family in Iowa!!!! My land, they had it bad!!!! I know Texas is hot in the Summer but I LOVE the Winters.

BUDDY TODAY IN THE FLOWERS

We got all moved into our little apartment in Dallas. It is going to be so nice to have a place to go and not have to drag all our stuff to and from. It is very comfortable and we have used the pool and hot tub several times. He did go and get his flat screen TV but we bought a little dresser/two door cupboard and made it into a little TV cabinet. Will post some pictures when I post pictures of the apartment. Just don't have any as yet.

Lynn works three days this week and four more the rest of the month and we will be taking care of the pets for Jen and Mark while they go to Florida for 9 days the middle of March. We will stay at their place then with Buddy and their three dogs, two birds, bearded dragon and possibly a geina pig? I guess that is what grandparents do----animal duty. Buddy will enjoy himself I am sure but he will take a week to recoup after the week with the boys!!!! They have put a fence around the pool so we can let them all out and not worry about them running off.

I am going to be teaching a class in Machine Applique and a two day class in Polymer Clay and Jewelry making this month also. I will be doing it at the League of the Arts here in Mineola and my new friend Penny will be sharing the two day class doing her thing, Jewelry Design and Findings. Should be fun!

Well, Lynn has been working on making our living room better. When we moved in we painted it chocolate----two years of that and I wanted my blue back so being the sweetie he is, it's done. I love it and will finish the valances for the living very soon. All that is left for us is to stencil one room, put up the Wall Words in my Studio and paint the hall. He also painted all the woodwork in the living and dining room. What a guy!!!

Guess I have been working him tooooooo hard. We went to Sam's the other day--he went one way and I went another and we said we would meet up front. Well, he didn't show and I couldn't find him. I went back and forth and no Lynn so I headed to the back of the store down the main isle---keep that in mind---main isle. There he was---on one of the large media couches "watching" the big screen TV. People were going by and snickering so I just had to take a picture or two before I "woke him" from his nap. He was even snoring! Love the price sign right beside him. When I woke him we both laugh and laugh---pretty funny. Shopping is such HARD WORK!

We are loving the weather here and so are the plants! My jonquils are blooming in full force and today I took this pic of my neighbors Iris blooming. I think it is a bit early but our tulip trees are in full bloom and the Bradford Pears will be totally out by the end of the week. Here is her Iris.

Keep checking back for more updates. This is such a great way to communicate with all our friends and family. Come back soon.
