There is going to be a bunch of catching up for the next couple of posts.  I had a really bad cold and I ended up with pneumonia by the time it was all over.  I had a doctor's appointment scheduled before it started, when I went in for it Vera insisted I have the doctor check my lungs.  They sounded ok but she ordered a chest X-ray for me which I had last Monday.  It showed I had pneumonia in the lower part of the right lung.  My doctor ordered antibiotics for me and I have been getting better every day.

Jordon had a T-Ball game today at the Y.  Jacob's shirt says it all, "I Love to Cuddle".  He is just as much fun to watch as the game.

Jordon is on first after batting.  It was fun to watch the kids with their mitts, one girl on the other team was wearing hers as a hat.

Jordon is practicing his dance moves at third.

Jacob is playing with the cars we got them for Easter.

It is fun watching the coaches get the kids lined up for the hand slaps after the game.

Surprise Party

In the afternoon we went up to Debbie and Josh's for a surprise 75th birthday party for Josh's Grandma Anita.  Josh's mom had planned the party and it worked out great as Anita didn't have a clue.

 

Jordon is on his great grandma Anita's lap.

The boys had a great time playing with everyone there.

Josh sat in the kid's rocker for a little while.  That rocker was Beverly's when she was little.

I talked with the two friends Anita was visiting with and it turned out they were both named Genivieve which was my mom's name so we had a good discussion about that.

Jordon had insisted they get flowers for all the mothers so Vera came home with a nice bunch of roses.

James brought up a Mother's day gift for Vera a couple of days early.  Michelle's friend Colleen always lets her know when they are in at 4-Corners.

Mik, Michelle and James took us to breakfast at the 49er and we had a great time.

Both Vera and I had enough for another meal to take home with us.

I should have gotten Mik into this picture.

It was a great way to start our Sunday!

Three hundred feet in elevation sure makes a difference with the plants blooming.  This is by the post office, ours at home have not even started to bloom.

We got a little of everything weather wise today except for snow!

We had a pretty nice sunset to finish off the day.

Vera is really excited that her Camas Lilies are starting to bloom.

It was a nice sunny day and I felt pretty good so I did a few things outside.  The Mitsubishi has been missing under a load so I changed the spark plugs today.

This is the easiest car I have changed spark plugs in since I had my 1960 MGA.  Each spark plug has it's own coil like the one that I am holding in this picture. 

There is a lot of difference between the old and new ones.  The car ran much better after the change.

I ran the mower over the lawn before calling it a day.

I was not feeling good this weekend so I didn't go to Jordon's T-ball game Saturday or Jacob's 3rd birthday party on Sunday.  Debbie and Michelle sent me the pictures I am using here.

I like the look he is giving Michelle.

He is blowing out the candles

Jacob sure looks happy coming down the inflatable slide they had set up in the shop.

Jordon and Paxton are about ready to go down the slide.

Jacob is opening one of his presents.

Jacob looks pretty happy with the bubble train we got him.

Jacob is trying out the backhoe he got today.

It looks like Jacob and Jordon had all the toys set up in their room that evening.

I felt much better today!  I got out in the shop and worked on the P-40 a little.  There are only a couple of more things to finish and it will be ready for a test flight.  My lungs have cleared up a lot, I don't get short of breath like I was earlier in the week.  Two more days of antibiotics and I will be done with that, boy keeping track of when to take everything was almost a full time job.  The phone helps by giving me reminders.
