Right after breakfast, Hilltop Pest Control came to assess the ant situation. They sprayed inside and out and I have to leave any residue for at least a week. It’s safe; made out of cauliflower power. Guaranteed or they will do a second treatment. I’ll be glad to get ride of those buggers. I feel like I’m working my way through a lighter version of the 10 plagues of Egypt. But if everything keeps working out in the end, I can’t complain!

After lunch I was helping Kelly with a few sewing projects, and Chase was demonstrating how he liked to sleep under the bed! Didn’t look too comfortable to me.

I fixed the waist band on a pair of sweatpants for Kelly, then helped to hem her skirt. It looks like it fits perfectly – but she’s standing on a step stool! We cut it off – about 6 inches or better – then I hemmed it up. I think it will be fine now.

Kelly still had several school projects to finish, so I cut the grass, weed-whacked, and used the blower to clean all the walks and driveway. With the sun shining it looks so nice! Job well done!

Grape hyacinths, pink hyacinths, and fresh cut grass!

As soon as I’m done and Kelly’s finished with her biology worksheets, we’ll get supper. They leave after lunch tomorrow and then it’s back to work for me! Just found out one of my co-workers had a stroke and will be off for a while. That will really leave Joe short-handed! So many hard and sad things going on around us.

April 20 – Did you ever write something that you were really proud of? “Nothing that I can remember.” Well, I disagree. She wrote the story about her grandmother Crooks’ special chair. I still have her hand-written copy!

Vacation destination for yesterday – suggested by Trent – was Gatlinburg TN. The picture posted was the scenic overlook. Here are other points of interest:
