Razorback Field from Sod to Turf


History in the making. After the Red/White game, they started cutting up the sod to be distributed to willing fans!
I told them I needed some Razorback sod to go with our Press Box windows on the porch (obtained when they renovated in 1985) We'll see if I can keep it alive.
Of course I came home with a piece.
Ernie survived his hiking trip along the Boxely/Ponca Valley, an overnighter to practice for their hike at Philmont. He is learning to play the guitar.
Martha is excited, she won a Hanna Montana Gift Bag, all kinds of exciting Hanna Montana Stuff! She and Dave worked at Washington to do yard work.
I worked in my mothers yard with some friends to get it cleaned up after the limb man hit the yard, urgh! We almost got it back to post springbreak condition, Yeah!
Oh, and did I mention Dave and I made the PTO Volunteers list for Washington, we along with the rest were honored at the yearly banquet. Dave is in charge of the Watch Dog Dads for Washington and I am the Treasurer.

Easter

Easter in Fayetteville was cold and rainy, but we all made it to church and enjoyed the service.
We enjoyed lunch all together and relaxed at home the rest of the day.
Happy Easter to all!

Dad and Martha

Well it has been quite a week or so. Dave flew out to Sacramento to spend time with the Leah, Dan, Mae (Happy Birthday), John & Gabe, on Wed. of last week. They had a great visit, to see pictures from that you'll have to go to Leah's blog (aramigan.blogspot.com), maybe when Dave gets his pictures developed (the old fashioned way), we will have some pics to share.

Saturday, Hanna, Mac, Ernie, Martha and I moved my brothers piano out of our house to his, so that I could get some cabinets out of mom's garage so that she could park her car in her garage again. We did it!

Then this week, I enjoyed going to the Methodist Churches of Fayetteville community Holy week lunch services. I've done this off and on for about 10 years and have always enjoyed the services. It doesn't matter which church it's held at, I know someone and meet new people.

Dave flew in Tues. to Tulsa (11:49 P.M.), but the drive over and back were actually quite nice.
When I got over to the airport though, they never posted his flight on the arrivals so I was a bit concerned, because they were already posting the next days flights and they never posted it.
He made it in though.
Today was our annual Easter Egg Hunt. We had a beautiful day and a large group of families and friends to eat and hunt eggs! (Opps, as seen in the pics above)

Hiking in Arkansas



I love moss and I keep trying to get pics of it!

















The Glory Hole trail, The Kings River Falls Trail and Lost Valley























The last month I have had an opportunity to hike with the 4th grade class(es) from Holcomb Elem. It is amazing the pictures that the 4th graders take and put together in a powerpoint at the end of the experience. These are a few pictures that I took with my phone. (I gave up taking my camera after I saw the pics that they got after the first year) After the ice storm, it's great to see spring coming on, GREEN!
