Here are some pictures of our beautiful crabapple tree in the front yard. We didn't get to see it like this last year since we arrived in July. We have been told by the locals that you do not plant any annuals until after June 11. The growing season out here is very short, but is much hotter















Fisherman Brad.
Brad, Erich, and Vincent went fishing for one day over the May long weekend. They picked the coldest day to go. Brad caught four fish, but didn't bring any home to our table. It was cold, windy and snowing that day, so the guys were home in time for supper. Looks like he was enjoying himself regardless of the weather.







This picture was taken at 34 weeks. Still growing. The doctor is still monitoring my blood pressure closely. The big day is getting closer.
















Brad's Famous Ribs. Brad was so proud of the ribs he did on the BBQ that he had to get me to take a picture of them. They were excellent. He cook them slowly, so the meat just fell off the bone. If anyone would like to try Brad's Famous Ribs, just call us up and we will start the BBQ.
