Our new front door
New kittchen light fixturesWe lucked out and Cliff's cousins brought the girls over for Spring break and now we found out his Mom and Dad got here last night and they will be able to take them back so no driving to Colorado. Yeah., Cliff was so happy he dreads that drive.
We woke up to rain this morning and it is just a nice steady rain, not too cold. We are already over our average rainfall for the year and it's just barely March. My Dad would be so happy, rain in the desert always made him happy. I have been thinking of him since Friday a lot. Gabby was watching Donald Duck and just had the most natural deep laugh all of a sudden and it reminded me of when my Dad use to laugh at things he thought were funny like the movie "The God's Must Be Crazy". He thought that was the funniest movie and I remember his laugh, just like Gabby so young and happy, kind of a cross between a laugh and a giggle. Then later on I woke up in the middle of the night crying and didn't know why and then I realized I missed him. I hadn't really thought about him in a couple weeks and then there he was. I hope where ever he is he is happy and satisfied with his life, he should be as he was a really good man even with all his faults.
We have been busy working on the house and Cliff got one wall framed for the new room. We did get the new front door in and it looks really nice. What a pain in the butt staining a fiberglass door to look like wood is. I had no idea. We still do not have our interior doors and don't know when we will. Lowe's has been the worst. It is not really their fault I guess as they depend on their suppliers but you just can't get anything. No one is manufacturing things so they tell you you can get it but you really can't not in a timely manner anyway. So another test to learn patience and reflect on what is really important and I'm sure it's not those doors HA
Cliff went golfing with his cousins yesterday and took second place, he was surprised as he hasn't played in about a year. They all went to lunch and then he went out later with the boys and met his Mom and Dad also. I didn't feel too bad but someone had to stay home with the girls so I just chilled out here and went to bed early. It was better for me to stay off my feet anyway. The girls and I had run to St George earlier in the day and had breakfast and went shopping for a while. Cheyenne got a pair of shoes and a Venus Flytrap. She thought that was way cool. They have been trying to get it to eat a fly ever since. Cliff did get it to close it's elf on a q-tip but that's it. It has to grow awhile to be Audrey 2.
So the race is in Atlanta today and it is usually quite boring. If Jimmy Johnson wins again today, Cliff may just give up NASCAR altogether. He is really sick of Jimmy Johnson. At Atlanta usually one car jumps out front and stays there all day and so it's not too fun to watch. Maybe today will be different. I am thinking of making some Fried chicken today on this cold rainy day. Hope it takes good to me , I will be surprised if it does, the only thing that tastes right is fresh grapefruit so that's what I have been eating.

I had a hard week too - I dreamed my Daddy came back - just a fleeting moment but when I woke up it hit me really hard. Lots of teary moments this week...I miss him so much.
