An April assortment

We've continued to stay busy this spring, checking things off our to-do list. Last weekend we loaded up our small enclosed trailer with one of our hill country dining tables and six chairs to take to the law school daughter in Dallas. She moved out of her apartment into a townhome with a dedicated dining space, and so we were happy to provide a lovely set for her to use since it was just hanging out in storage. I had gone a couple days before that to oversee the actual move. With her new place ranging over three floors, I was huffing and puffing hauling stuff up down two flights of stairs that seemed rather steep to me. Or maybe that's just my knees and back talking! I was happy to lend a hand since she is near the end of her *LAST* semester, busy working on capstone papers plus prepping for final exams.

While we were gone to Dallas, a late spring cool front passed through the area. In addition to rain, it dropped a couple inches of pea sized hail near the lake house. When we got home and went to put the trailer back at the husband's workshop, I initially thought the white stuff I saw was the guts of some bean bags that had busted apart and been scattered by the wind. But nope... it was just the remnants of the hail storm. 

Last week I sat down and wrapped 180 sets of forks and knives in a napkin and tied them with a yellow ribbon. I'm on the activities committee at our church, and so I volunteered to take care of it in advance of the pancake breakfast we had in-between the traditional and contemporary services on Sunday. After a rainy, hail-ish Saturday, we appreciated a nice cool morning for golf cart church and flapjacks with all the fixin's. 

Finally, I couldn't resist adding a sweet picture of the law student and her med school boyfriend taken earlier this month. They were in Austin attending a wedding, and so it was nice to get a pic of them looking so pretty and handsome for the occasion. It's hard to believe our girl is graduating from law school on May 15, wrapping up her education. As I say on the regular these days - my how time flies!
