It's interesting - More and more we find ourselves being looked to as examples of stability due to our long marriage, and stable church and work relationships. It wasn't until the kids started dating that we learned how rare that is.<br /><br />They will have stories! We had a VERY full weekend. :-) Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08343134852881572900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861015052975520671.post-36804055494922263492015-04-13T08:46:56.151-04:002015-04-13T08:46:56.151-04:00You and De deserve to be totally exhaustigated (!)...You and De deserve to be totally exhaustigated (!) after the weekend. Those two little girls are blessed to have "married" grandparents like the two of you. And their new auntie also! The stories they will have to tell after this past weekend!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861015052975520671.post-86805800321332113972015-04-12T19:05:51.886-04:002015-04-12T19:05:51.886-04:00Liz - This is the first time we've had them al...Liz - This is the first time we've had them alone for the whole weekend. What fun we had! Of course, now that they are back with their parents De and I are 'reveling' in the quietness.<br /><br />We do love our raised beds. We've got lots of good garden soil everywhere, so for us its a a matter of plant density and access. We've found them to be best for things like tomatoes, green beans and other veggies for which you get multiple pickings. Its easier to get soil amendments right and its so much easier to pick from the edge of the bed or stool sitting next it than from a row right at ground level.

We do love having our little girls around, but we always forget how much energy it takes to keep up with them!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08343134852881572900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861015052975520671.post-91968104345449319332015-04-12T18:56:27.972-04:002015-04-12T18:56:27.972-04:00Leigh - Heaven does like to work with Papa.

The girls are definitely getting comfortable with the chickens. They do watch out for Fred the Rooster, with some justification, but the hens are either 'funny' or just in the way. <br /><br />We are are blessed to have those two girls and the whole extended family that comes with them. And we are blessed their parents are willing to 'share' once in a while.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08343134852881572900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-861015052975520671.post-87915719589453776592015-04-12T16:39:43.193-04:002015-04-12T16:39:43.193-04:00Nothing better than a weekend with the grandkids! ...Nothing better than a weekend with the grandkids!
