May 2022

 The weather has turned, the Mini Cooper is out of storage, and our schedule has been full during the month of May!

Living my best life with Randy on an outing in the Mini. The girls wanted us to have a "date night" because they didn't want to join in the fun.

Lavendar Lemonade Martini

Planting Flowers at the Cemetery

Our washing machine decided to stop draining so Randy took it apart and fixed the problem while the girls worked in their craft corner. We are so lucky he's so handy! Then he treated himself to a little Pac Man!

We were very excited to finally get to go across the Canadian border and visit Calypso. While the Waterpark is not yet open for the season, since we are season pass holders the park requested we visit in advance to get our tickets updated for 2022. A walk through Ikea and dinner out made for a relaxing day worth the trip over. We can't wait for the opening on June 15th!

Both girls are playing softball, on different teams this year. We end up going in different directions some days but both girls are enjoying their teams.

Porch Life!

Pool Fun

Both girls participated in NYSSMA this year. With Covid restrictions now very minimal, they were both able to visit Crane for their solos and they both did an oustanding job! Stella earned 27 points out of 28 for snare, and 26 out of 28 for mallet and Claire earned a 28 out of 28 for voice!
