Aw, Flav, weird spring weather already! We going to hit 80 today and then almost 50 on Tuesday.

I just popped in to say hi and let you know the shower was a huge success! Thankfully, none of the silly games. Just good food, good friends, and Oh My, the kids got a TON of stuff! Little K won't need clothes for quite some time!LOL What they didn't get, they got about 2 inches of gift cards to go buy it with. I think they got about 4 or 5 diaper bags, too.

We did have a little scare afterwards, though. Hubs and I were getting in the car to come home and he couldn't find his wallet. We searched our car and son's car, nothing. We were about to go back to the church, when I told them to look in the backyard. Hubs and dil's dad were out there talking for awhile. Son went back there, and sure enough, one of the dogs was feasting on the wallet! Thankfully the only thing that got eaten was hubs master key-card for work. He made a new one today. The funny part was, it was his old wallet. He bought a new one last fall, in Oklahoma, but hadn't switched it out yet. There's a place that sells the one he really likes, so when we were up there the last time, he bought a new one. He just didn't need it then. He was thinking about switching it out the other day and didn't. NOW, he has too!LOL

I'm starting the fruit patch again! On the way home, we stopped in the city and I got 7 red raspberry plants and 2 grapes. I'm going to plant them this afternoon. I hope the wind will hold off long enough. I hope it works this time. I've never planted grapes before, but they do really well here. Several wineries in the area. The raspberries, I didn't do too well with the last time, but I have a better spot with amended soil now AND it's earlier in the year. Hopefully, they'll get a better start before the heat comes around.

I think we're going to be weird this year and put the garden in the front of the house so the dirt will get turned over and amended for grass this fall. Thankfully, we live in the sticks and no one will care!LOL We've been trying to get grass to grow in the front since we moved in with no luck, just weeds. You'd think with all the livestock that lived here from the previous owner the dirt would be good, not. It's terrible.

Anyway, enough of my Great American Novel, the shovel is calling me! Hard Eight, I haven't forgotten about the chili. I'll get it to you soonest. I had it posted the day the forum got attacked, but it didn't make it on. I'll try again later today or tomorrow.
