Horay it's Spring

    I know it's spring because the Dafodils behind my garbage cans have bloomed. It's a shame no one can see them except from our porch. I had to move the 2 garbage containers to an open space under my kitchen window because I'm old and climing stairs is difficult for me let alone walk the full length of this duplex to toss a bag of kitchen garbage into the can.  I might look out our back door and see if the original spot is closer, but then I might not. The college kids in the other half of the duplex do not think it's part of their lease to roll the large cans to the curb every Wednesday night for pickup at 7 am on Thursday. They have watched me do it and limp back to the steps to my house and have to stop and catch my breath.  Can't pull a heavy garbage with one hand and hold your cane with the other one. Just doesn't work so I was doing it without my cane.
   
    Thank goodness I'm moving next month so it won't be the larger cans for 2 families like it is here. And my new house probably have Brown Recluse Spiders.  I was opening a File folder that was under the top part of my computer desk and something caught my eye so I flicked my arm. Bridgit's husband saw it start to crawl away and he jumped up and stomped it after he said loudly don't move. Then he told me it was a brown recluse. Of course when Bridgit had her encounter with one of those Nasty Poisenous Spiders she was a whole lot louder screaming than I was. I didn't know what was going on for my encounter but Bridgit recognized it for what it was. She'd been bitten before and spent 3 days in hospital till they were assured she'd be OK.
   
    If anyone reading this is over 65, please know that Medicare has authorized a free Cancer Screening if you qualify. I qualified because I had a cancer on my ear, which they cut the top off of. Makes wearing a hearing aid or O2 tubing a little iffy. Not much of the top of the ear left but I manage. Then I also qualified because my mother had Colon Cancer, and my oldest daughter had Ovarian Cancer 3 times, (because she refused Kemo on the grounds she'd loose her beautiful hair). Anyway that got them to send me the test and I swabbed my mouth the designated number of times, twice. It's 15 swipes on each cheek twice, and then the same story with the 2nd swab. They are testing my genetics I guess to see if I'm liable to have another cancer.

    Time to show you the pages I've made from some new kits. And I just got 3 new kits this morning from a designer in the UK by the name of Snow Raven. If you do digital scrapbooking she's rather prolific and an Artist even. I'm anxious to see how the new kits will work with my family pictures.

 My friend Barbara and her family were out for dinner one night. This is Barbara and her granddaughter Mia.
 This is one of Snow Raven's kits named Celtic Magic. Being part Irish myself, I was happy to use this one for my Granddaughter Bridgit and her new Mom Stephanie. They are one happy pair when they start working crafts and planning family gatherings.
 This is Elijah Mitchell, the 2nd Grandson of my cousin Tammy. He's a cutie.
 These are Vintage pictures using a Vintage kit from a lady in Germany. My Uncle Herman and his lovely wife Jean.
 This is a family friend on her 21st Birthday and the bottom one is I believe her 9th Birthday. Megan has grown up to be a lovely young lady.
My Granddaughter Reanna has 3 dogs this size and she says they talk to each other a lot. Hopefully she live in a seperate house so the neighbors don't have to listen to 3 dogs talking. Her Name is Nala!

    Time to check my spelling and say "Have a Nice Day"!
