Eddie Izzard!

My sweetie purchased two tickets to see Eddie Izzard in June at the Orpheum! He promises that they are for seats I'll actually be able to squeeze into! Can't wait!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Bill and I celebrated St. Patrick's Day with our friends. Cheryl and Powell hosted a potluck at their house. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the mashed potatoes with cabbage and the soda bread. I couldn't sample much because of pregnancy nausea, but I had a great time nonetheless.

Bill made an Irish Stew with Dumplings that was very well-received, of course. I enjoyed seeing everyone and watching the kids play. It was a great event. I'm so glad Cheryl put it together.

Latest House Project: Small Patio

We had gorgeous weather over the weekend. Bill was inspired to build a little patio (5x5) for our grill. I helped - if snoozing on a picnic blanket while he toiled and accompanying him on most of his trips to Lowe's count as helping.

I'm so proud of his work. He did a great job! Later he'll do a larger patio for our lawn furniture, and some raised beds, and maybe some benches, too.

I can take credit for coming up with the idea for the placement and selecting the pavers (and staying out of the way). Bill's dad was a lot of help because he helped us load, transport, and unload all the supplies.
