Bill & Traci Updates

 Hey blog readers - its been awhile since I've had a chance to update the blog and a lot has happened... here's a few things you might have missed....

Easter and the great Easter Egg Hunt

 

Of course there was Spring canning... (bloody mary mix and dilly pickled asparagus)

 

 

 
Trinity got in a fight with a creature bigger than her (don't worry the other guy looked worse)

 I visited sunny California for a meeting and got to check out the Sea lions

Went back to Ireland and toured the Jameson plant

Went back to Ireland (again 3rd time) and visited a zoo without fences

Saw Trevor's (monkey's) long lost brother in zoo in Ireland

Threw a party at our place for Cinco de Mayo and to say goodbye to 10th street and all the patio parties... 

Sold the house and left behind the beautiful sunset's of 10th street and the little house on the prairie

  

 Moved to FLW in the woods (residents of 49088 now)

 

 

Armed with our new Dyson

 and chainsaw (housewarming present from mom and dad)

 Tons of help from our friends

Summer has been hot and dry ... the crops, gardens and lawns are all burnt up

But... we were able to pick some beans (and can, and freeze, and can and freeze for 3 days)

I'm sure I missed a few highlights in there but now that you've got the general idea... we hope your summer is going well!
