April is almost gone!

So the weather has been so nasty this month that the peas are still not coming up.  Maybe soon? I hope so. I also haven't planted anything else for the same reason! But the city water has been turned on, now, so that's one excuse gone.

While I was at my mom's I went to that nursery/store and got some more dishtowels.  They are huge!  And nice, and cheaper than the ones I ordered online.  If anyone wants me to get them some, let me know.  Also got a few patterns for stamping on them.  I couldn't decide between all the cute veggie ones. My mom is no help.  She said, "Get them all and it will only be $5."  So I did.

Books! Books! Books! My daughter and I went to the library book sale at the Salt Lake Library and ooooh, it was fun!  They had waaaay too many books.  So we relieved them of 29 of them. Hard backs were $1, books on tape $1 and paperbacks $.50!! I need to take a bag next time. The aisles were not big enough for the cart.

No scrapbooking to report. I did get the training I ordered from Scrapper's Guide for the new Photoshop Elements (which I don't have yet).  So hopefully will get doing some things on that soon.

Genealogy has been a little more fruitful. I was able to get some old letters from my mom's correspondence that have group sheets, so I need to compare those with what I have. Unfortunately, they are from 1970, so the person she was writing is gone now. But I have a cousin name who also got these letters, so hopefully can write to him and see what documents he has.  I also got a response from my postcard mailing on George Brown. A lady sent me a group sheet for his mother's family. Have to compare this, too. It's so fun to get responses! I went to my genealogy class yesterday and got one more generation of names for about three lines off the Pedigree Resource File. Not sure if I want more names to check on, but I'm sure it's good!

Kris, I would love some dishtowels next time you go. And could I also request your food storage worksheet? What can I say, you've inspired me!
