Minnesota Finally Has A Second US Senator

Or do we? Al Frankin has been deemed the winner but Norm may file yet another lawsuit. And so the story goes with Minnesota making national headlines.
On to topics that make more sense.
The snow is slowly melting here in the north land and the mud is dryng up. We can finally make it up our driveway fairly easily and yesterday I planted tomatoes, some herbs and a few flowers. Well I planted starter seeds in doors but hey I did dig in the dirt and it felt good.
Last weekend we stayed at the Leonard hotel. A very nice hotel that offers not only a room with a TV, our own private bathroom and a great supper of grilled chicken kabobs and grilled shrimp on skewers. But the creme de le creme is spending time with one of our three granddaughters. Oh how they change. Julia continues to teeth, drooling all over the place, chewing on everything she can get in her mouth, running a low grade temp etc but despite all of this she almost always has a smile on her face. She is sitting up on her own, rolls all over the place, loves to be on her feet in her walker and I swear she says momma. Len and Kel have 5 (yes 5) cats that Julia loves. The cats don't love her so much, in fact all but one run from her. She is eating new foods all of the time and seems to like most...when she isn't 'spitting it out' at her mom or dad. She finds it fun to make sounds with her lips and especially when her mouth is full of food. Oh and did I mention that she loves her grandma?

When daddy found out that he was having a girl his fear was that she would be a girly girl and how was he going to handle that.....well well daddy picked this girly girl frilly, cute as can be Easter skirt out for his baby.
Grandparent-hood is the best. We just wish that we could see all of the grandkids more frequently.
