Nothing New, Just More of the Same

Well, I'm at the end of my semester at Chico. Two more tests and one paper and I can take a break until the summer sessions start. I will be taking some history classes, no not my favorite. I also need to start studying of the CSET tests. Because I am getting a multiple-subjects credential I have to take all four tests. I will work on taking two a semester.

The weather is getting warmer, the grass is getting taller, and the flowers are starting to bloom. The trees around the house, apple, crab apple, plum, and lilac, are blooming; even more then last year. This, of course, is bringing in the bees. It's fascinating to sit under the trees and listen to the activity. We have also put our the bird feeders. There's lots of different birds eating their daily meals in our yard. It drives the cats crazy. We actually have a family of Stellar Jays living, for the time-being, in our porch light. The light is a lot like a closer chandelier so they had plenty of room to make a nest. We didn't have the heart to kick them out. It's been amazing watching them build and keep trying until they got just the right kind of twigs. I will post pictures as soon as I find my charger.

We did go see the new Star Trek movie, how could we not. It was a two hour movie but enjoyable. Even if you are not a fan, you will like the movie.

Chris and Holly went to the prom this week end. Yes, Holly is that gorgeous and yes Chris is that humorous. He didn't get home until 4:00am. They went to two after parties, which surprised me since Chris is not the socializing type.

Raynelle and Paul will be coming down next week. It will be great because I have that Friday off and Tim will be taking that Friday off. I am sure I will be making a big dinner for everyone. Our house has become the meeting place.

Mike and Carina are buying a second car. One of Mike's dream cars. It's a 1975 BMW in good condition so far. He hasn't been able to drive it yet, not til tomorrow but they have both fell in love with it. The car is an automatic so they both will be comfortable driving it.

Tim had Monday off so he did some yard work. While he was taking the raked up material to the community burn pile, he met a fellow Greenhorn resident. He turned out to be the father-in-law to a friend of ours from school. He is 90 years old and still quite active. Tim ended up going to his home and looking through family photos and taking a tour of the ridge area above our house. Needless to say, he didn't get every thing hauled away.

Well, that's that, not much else going on.
