It's been a little while

Ever since the sun started coming out life just feels fresher, smells better, energy levels are higher and positive. It could smell better because the shower is working and massages your feet so nicely and with the two shower heads Seth and I are CLEAN. Raking the lawn, biking around and wearing thinner jackets makes the quality of life just BETTER.

Skiing after work was a great time, went with Scott and Chad, clear blue skies and views of the steaming volcano, good snow in spots too. Dinner with Ashley afterwards was FANTASTIC.

Katey's wedding was good times and having friends over afterwards to pizza at our house was DELICOUS. So many talented chefs in one room really made for quite a night, friends who have been gone for a while too and to see again, so nice. It was also a test of the new kitchen layout to have 15 for dinner and it seems Seth has done it again, there was easily 4 people cooking and the other 11 gathered around the island and it seemed really comfortable, nice work S.Andersen.

The garden will be big this year, we are leaving for the month of July to Colorado and Washington but no deal, nothing really comes to fruit until August anyhow. I tried to seed save, hop on the bandwagon but it didn't really work, will have to read up on it and try again another year. For now the lights Seth gave me for Christmas a few years ago are doing good and Seth's light rotation system is wonderful.

The neighborhood was come alive with people and dogs and Seth and I just sit at our nerd stations and type away while enjoying the view.

Finally, finally, finallllyyyyyy

Well, it is about time. I knew it all along, it is just hard to get too many people to agree (vocally in public that is). The McDonald's breakfast sandwich has something about it, if I could spell Jensi say quay I would use it to describe the treat. , You know, a flavor that makes you wonder why you love it so. It captured me in the airports after a flight from Anchorage to somewhere which was already a good thing than to throw in the soft biscuit, salty questionable meet and maybe a slice of processed cheese like goo and you have heaven. Mom didn't swing through Mc Donald's much when we were little but let me tell you, that is a woman who knows taste and she will cut loose in an early morning situation. Two years ago when driving from Idaho to Montana we got on a serious Iced Coffee kick that I don't even want to go into but we didn't shy from the paper wrapped breakfast sammies thats for sure, girl don't mess with her breakfast biscuit.

Well now vindication is mine, a very cool, very serious, very fancy pantsy cooking magazine, Savior has written a whole story on the early morning love obsession. I will leave it at this: If we are ever in an airport together and the Burger King (sub par) or Mc Donald's is closed for renovation be afraid!!!!!! Aunt Bonnie, Mom and probably parts of the Malecha family will back me up on this one.

Say goodbye to Lady Rhonda, she will be missed and not soon forgotten.

Seth went to Grandma's house on Monday and came home with four beautiful finches. Two full grown Shevtails and two Green Singers. The Green Singers are basically toddlers, their Mom was barely finished mouth feeding them but she was laying eggs as well so Kernel Green and Lady Rhonda had to make the step to adulthood. The four lived in a small cage while I sanded and painted their new aviary and Seth formed the wire. In the interim Lady Rhonda passed away. Now Kernel has no one to sing to but he lives on, proving to be very agile, eating while hanging upside down and snuggling with Tui and Dolly at night. If we play a Green Singer on UTube Kernel will sing back, Seth sweet talks to them all and Spycat is sprayed with water if she comes near.......
