March 12- I was so happy to see the crocus blooming. These little purple ones were so cute! I had the yellow ones the longest and then this year my purple ones bloomed. 
They are such a welcome site and makes me think spring is really on its way. 
Well what a surprise on Saturday March 26 it was snowing . I took these pictures out my kitchen window Sunday early before we left for church. 
Finally we had a really warm day just right for a day walking in the woods with my three youngest grandchildren. They have been asking me to meet them and take a walk so this was the day.
They were amazed at the beautiful blooms on this cherry tree and were picking a few blooms.
They love talking to Quacker and were throwing him some wild onions, guess he liked them since he came and ate a few. They really wanted to pet him but he would not come close enough for that.
Oh what fun it is to climb on the trees!
This huge grapevine made a good place for them to pose together.
This was a really big strong vine that went way up in the trees. They love playing in the woods. It is amazing how God makes all these wonderful places for them to explore.
What a cutie!!
Grandma's sweet and precious little ones are growing up so fast!!
Another pretty face with some of the beautiful flowers in her pocket.
Papaw added another swing to their park this week. They love it!
Papaw came by on his 4 Wheeler and they all climbed on and he was pretending he was taking them for a ride making sounds like it was going and they said no lets go for a real ride. So guess what he did and they loved it. All three and Papaw. Such smiles and laughter was so sweet!
There are some neat hills behind the house and they had a joyous time.
This morning we decided to go on a little road trip to celebrate Valentine's Day and ended up at French Lick for lunch. They have a new Black Buggy Restaurant in French Lick and it was really good. A couple of our friends were there too, so got to visit with them a little too..
This was the mans vehicle parked there and you could see him on one of the docks. He had a beard and I saw this on the window and I said he looks like Santa Claus. Anyway we decide to be friendly and see if he was catching any fish so we proceeded to walk down there.
Don't you think he reminds you of Santa Claus. Well we started talking to him and he actually had some nice fish. I asked him if he lived in this area and he told me where he lived and he said I work at Santa Claus Land. I am Santa. I thought it was so neat to see Santa at the lake. He said this is one of his favorite things to do. Well guess what I just happened to be holding my camera and ask him if I could take his picture and he said yes. I ask if I could put it on facebook and he said you can put it anywhere you want so here he is and of course I had to have one of me and Santa too. I would have never guessed I would see Santa on Valentine's Day especially at the lake fishing.
The Granddaughters all came for lunch on Sunday and also for our annual Cookie Baking Day. Here they are in their aprons all ready to do some fun baking!
Bethany and Marisa reading their special Valentine. They looked so pretty!
Here we are with the youngest and our oldest showing off their cookies.
Getting the sprinkles just right.
Tia made a cute heart.
Tabi and Bethany love each other so much! It is wonderful to see them all having so much fun together.
After church I made homemade vegetable beef soup. It was really yummy. It may look like pickles in my bowl but it is actually zucchini from our garden that I had frozen. It also has green beans, corn, peas, carrots, tomatoes and potatoes.
I really like the verse that was on the front of our church bulletin this morning. this is my prayer.
Proverbs 17:6
Proud Dad with his two beautiful daughters. It is so good the girls live close and make sure to see their Daddy on his special day. He loved it!
Here he is proud again to have a picture with his beautiful Granddaughters, even his grand puppy, Trixie came and right away jumped on his lap and started giving him kisses. Wish I had took a picture of that.
Tabi is our youngest grandchild and loves her Papaw and he loves her so much! It is a special treat to have them all drop in to see us, but today was a real special day.
The cards they brought were so neat. This one said...you have always been my guiding light, showing me the way. I would be lost without you! Happy Father's Day! Then the bible verse
This one said, "For a Wonderful Father" and had several neat things written like, A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms. Noble Fathers have noble children and some other neat sayings plus the bible verse. 
The little girls brought this one that said"Happy Father's Day, Grandpa and inside said The special days we spend together, will be in my heart forever!
Then TaraKate made him a really neat card too which said, " Your the best!
