Side view of my Birdhouse

Front view. The roof is made out of the seeds that come inside of them.

Tuesday I got back to finishing my accounting. It was a little bit of a nerve wracking morning as Shelly went in for surgery on her leg today. When I finally reached her she was back in her room and sounded pretty good. The operation was only 45 minutes and they used an epidural and nerve blocks instead of putting her right out. The pain did set in later in the day though and she sounded pretty rough.

It is hard not to be there but I am going home for 10 days on the 15th to help her out.

Wednesday was my "Gourd Bird House " class. We are taking these great big gourds, drilling a hole in them and hollowing them out, then painting the outside all up and turning them into birdhouses. I haven't done any painting in a long time and I really enjoyed it.

Thursday Colin and I did some shopping in McAllen and then met Fonda, Larry, Bob and Carol at the Sun Palace for dinner. They make awesome Sushi and I ate alot!!! It was very good.

Friday was more accounting and a happy hour on the street. I made home made Pico De Gallo with nacho chips.....since there was none left I assume everyone really liked it.

Saturday there was a craft show in the park. I wondered up and could not believe the amount of stuff they had. It was way bigger than the one in the fall when we first came down and way bigger than the one last year at this time. There were tons of people and lots of interesting ideas. I bought a bracelet and decided that alot of the other stuff I could make myself. Always good to go to these things for ideas.
