Flowers in Charleston, SC

I know some of you family members have had snow and cold weather. We wish we could pick you up and bring you here for a day or two. We surprising are having great weather. It might rain some tomorrow but it will still be in the high 70's. Hope everyone is great. Jeffrey is staying with grandma Tommie and PopPop tonight for the final days of spring break. It has been a great time for him and all his family! PopPop and Grandma Tommie hopefully will be heading to Iowa in April for the baptism of Lizzy! Can't wait to see all the grandbabies! Here are the flowers!

March with the Provost


Well, March has been an interesting month. We were rained, tornadoed, hailed, sunshine, cold and still the flowers are here in time for Easter. I will add a picture tomorrow with those beautiful azaleas blooming also the Pear flower trees. Watch for the pictures....!
We have done some construction on our home with a contractor oh was that what he was? Well, Calvin has redone the work which we paid a contractor for? with the help of his sons and daughter in law Felicia. Of course I shined the base boards and stained the wood pieces. We added some berber carpet also. Now with the help of Ronnie and his father in law Ronnie will spray our ceiling with popcorn stuff I think they call it. Ralph might be able to move back to his room before June? hahaha!
Our tin roof keeps all that much needed rain on the outside not the inside now so we won't have to have more construction. Thank Goodness! Tommie added more shelves inside her kitchen cabinets with again the help of sons...! Calvin redid some drawers. This makes Tommie so happy. Man, what can make a woman happy! Tommie restained the cabinets and stained the broom closet David and Ronnie made over a year ago. As you see Tommie, Me, I , have been watching the HGTV channel and have some great ideas for everyone to do. Organizing my office, redoing or sanding some of the wood floors and so much more....WOW!!
Well, I now have an ear infection in both ears. One inner and two outers then the sinus infection all the from the flu virus. Lizzy was worried that grandma got her ear infection. Grandma had to tell her it is tough to get those germs from IOWA to SC in a few days by telephone.
Oh, we had a tornado come real close to our home or in the sky close to our home but did not touch down. Well, I was sick and fell asleep in our bedroom next to a WINDOW. Calvin and Ralph were in the center hall leaving me by the window and asleep while they watch to see if the tornado would come down.. He assured me that if he had seen the tornado that he would have dragged me into the hall beside him. Well, I am so reassured of this..Glad I slept through the weather that night. Thanks Calvin. you are the best husband ever! Love you too dear or is this what is called the 40th anniversary year revelation? The story is true but Tommie knows Calvin would be her be her superman and save the day.
Remember look for the pictures...!
