Week 17 of 52


                        This week I have been working on making another flower garden...I had to remove all the rocks and put in a brick edging...my Mom and I have worked on this for about three days...yes my Mom was out there with me moving rocks while I was putting in the bricks...she is going to be 80 years old next month...

                                                     Before the rocks were removed...

                                                     After the rocks were removed...

                        Dosen't look like much right now...but wait until I have amended
                           the soil and planted flowers...another project for my 52 of 52...

Week 15 of 52

                                                   back to working on my memories...
                     March was supposed to be for memories but it has spilled over into April...last week I wrote about reliving some memories with my Mom at the Princess Diana Exhibit...this week I am back to trying to get my photo albums up to date before my next trip which is coming up fast...

                 ...in week 10 of 52 I was talking about photos being my memories and how I had some albums to get up to date...well the weather has been so nice with record breaking temperatures...who wants to sit inside writing when they can be outside working in the yard and enjoying the warm sunny days...not me...
    
         ...also this week the plants that I ordered from Michigan Bulb Company came...so I have put those into the ground...

Week 14 of 52

       
 
........My Mom and I have just had an afternoon reliving some memories....
we went to the Diana a Celebration exhibit at the Mall of America...what an emotional experience...

.....as with most exhibits we were not allowed to use a camera...but I still carried my camera and took a photo of my Mom outside the entrance...
the most emotional moment for me was when we walked from one room into another room and there was Princess Diana's wedding dress...it brought tears to my eyes...
