Spring is here!

My dad and Jo left yesterday. I have to say, it was sad dropping them off. We really had a great time, and I miss the days they were close. Hopefully, in a couple of years, they'll be working part of the year and be up here the rest of the year. Gosh, Maysen will be FOUR years old in "a couple" of years.

The weekend was filled with the guys building my picnic table, which you could see the testosterone levels rising by the minute ... power tools, wood, hammers (thawed, of course ... see "Pregnant Nate" post for details) nails. What more could a guy want? They also did yard work, drainage re-routing, s'mores by the fire, laughing, "Barnes" (Andy Griffith Show), trip to the coast, laying in the sun and skipping rocks at Dorena Lake. This weekend was beautiful, not only the weather, but being all together.

So, you know the hardest thing to find within reason? The glass turntable carousel thingy in microwaves. Ours broke over the weekend, and finding just the glass plate thing is ridiculous! Half the price of the microwave for that stinking piece! Anyone have an extra?
