The Saturday before Mothers Day we headed down to Co. Springs early (leaving the house at 7:00am!!) for Kylan's 8:00 soccer game! It's always fun to see him play and his team is again very good this year as they've only lost 1 game!
After stopping for a quick bagel and coffee, we headed to a surprise 70th birthday party for a good 4-H friend - her daughter put on the party and we enjoyed a great brunch and seeing a lot of acquaintances!
Sunday was Mother's Day - and none of the girls were coming down (and Jaime had to work) since we are celebrating it at a later date! So I decided to make myself chocolate covered strawberries!! Yes, they were delicious!!
That morning we were both woken up early - to the tune of 5:30!! - by a bird flying into the window above our bed! It just kept hitting the window and then sitting there! After we got up, we saw it was a robin and after hitting the window, then it would fly back into the tree! Soon I noticed there were 2 robins and they would take turns flying into the window and then sitting there!!
Pretty strange - there are lots of "ideas" written about robins and the one I chose to believe is that someone that has died is coming back to tell you they love you and miss you! Saturday was my mom's death date and Sunday was my dad's birthday!! And for an update - the robin STILL wakes us up about 5:30 each morning - not sure what to do to prevent that but at least they are not flying into the window as much - I was sure they'd get brain damage from that!!
Glenn has been searching for a "side by side" since last fall - and has really been looking since we got home from Mexico!! We had a list of things we wanted on it and one of the main things was a heater and full doors and windshield. And there was hardly ever a heater in any of the ones for sale!!
But I checked Craigs List about noon on Sunday and one had just been posted - exactly what we wanted!!! I emailed him and said we were very interested and could come down on Monday, which is what we did!! And we're now the owners of this side by side and can't wait to take it out!! (and yes it does have full doors and windshield, they're just not on)!! And Glenn is really thrilled about the mounted scabbards for hunting!!

You will have so much fun on it!
That bird thing is crazy! But I have read that before. Enjoy the new side by side!
