Happy Leap Day!

"Found time" is a great thing - it motivates me to do a bit extra. So today, in honor of February 29th, I decided to pay attention to all the little things. It sure helps to appreciate life and all God's creations when He sends a 65 degree sunny February day our way.

The animals have sure been soaking up some rays, and rolling around in the mud! After all the regular chores, I spent some time in the yard cleaning up after the winter, and preparing for spring plantings. It's hard to believe it's only weeks away.

This evening marks the end of Purdue's season at Mackey. Looking forward to Senior Night with my hubby, and rooting the Boilers on in post season play. Now I'm off to meet my very first friend (circa 1965) for lunch. Just another extra on this Leap Day! Hope you have a great day!

Oh the fun we have.....

Not so many years ago as I headed out for work, I came around the corner only to discover that my truck had been transformed into a "Happpy Birthday Vehicle" that certainly would not blend in with any other vehicle on the road that day. (Wish I could find a picture for you, but...)

As the years pass, our group of friends continue these ridiculous escapades. With one of the ULTIMATE RING LEADERS turning 50, we had to make it count. Here's what has been done in her honor so far -

Multiple t-shirts produced with her image (albeit a goofy one) and distributed to her Indy Adventure Boot Camp morning pals to wear. She was surprised, and a bit angry, but we kept reassuring her that she is LOVED!

Of course, this was not the only "loving" thing that occurred....confetti kept appearing in odd places, single roses were methodically delivered to her door, and she even arrived home tonight to find this 8 foot tall number adorning her front porch:

Now is a good time to mention that she DESPISES colored flashing lights preferring only the boring clear lights in the yard. It really does look spectackyular from the road!

...and this is just her birthday eve!

Oh the fun we have. Enjoy your friday, and give a hug to your loved ones!

Happy Birthday KATE! We love you!!
