Eckbunk

Well we finally got an eckbunk. As far as I know that is German for corner nook. We have always wanted on but didn't really have the kind of kitchen or dinning room for one. Here in our new home tho, it made sense to have one. This home is smaller than any of our pervious homes and the layout makes it the best table for us. So....yay....we finally can get one. Hubby and son put it together and we so love it! Of course with my big boys it kinda looks really small when they sit at it. But when it's by it's self or just me it seems a really good size. Okay, on to the eckbunk!

Garden and Yard Project

The home we bought had no landscape going on in the back yard. None! It is an open canvas for planning and planting. Good and bad for us. Bad cause we have to do all the work of planning and the cost of planting. Good for us cause we can make it our way. Which I am liking more even with the cost of the plants. So we have decided to plant most of the items in our yard edible. Some of the plants we brought with us and aren't edible but they were ours already so that's fine. We're just going for the majority of the plants to be edible, not all. It has been fun planning things out and planting. With the pictures I'll walk y'all threw what we have as of now, March 20, 2017.

Okay, to start we put in a square foot garden. And went from there. Lets go.....

WARNING: THIS IS A LONG POSTING.

Just a Swinging!

We have always wanted a swing. So now that we have a yard again, we have decided it was time to get one. Since the day we got it up we have been using it! If you have always wanted one and didn't want to pay the price don't worry, just get it. We bought ours off Walmart dot com and it was around $170. Way cheaper than most and so worth the price!! It even holds up to 750 pounds.

Happy Anniversary!

Hubby and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary March 15th! We have been together a total of 19 years tho. Still happy as ever and couldn't be happier! He always takes the week of our anniversary off work! What a sweetheart!

Park time

We wanted to explore a local park. The website says it's over 300 acres (if my memory serves me right). Anywho, it was a very nice park! It has a senior center, stables, playground, campground, fishing ponds, horseshoes, Frisbee golf, grilling areas with tables and pavilions, horse trails, bike trails, walking trails, the list goes on and on....We were enjoying it I forgot to take pictures. I did get a few buy not nearly enough to show this park off! I really thought the horse area was awesome! Most parts don't have a place to bring horses. Well, here is the pictures I got.

Beach time!

It's still too cold for us to go swimming in the ocean. But we do enjoy just being on the beach. Hubby wants to bring our timeshare chairs out here and just sit. I'm game! I don't know if it's cause I was raised on this ocean, but it relaxes me. It always has. My dad says it's cause I'm a water sign. Maybe it's both. It's the best relaxation for me tho!

Wonderful Visit

Now that we don't live near any relatives we have to visit. My in-laws came to visit for a weekend. Had a really good time. Enjoyed dinning out and going to the beach. The beach was really cold tho! But we had fun none the less.
