Spring and Skydiving


Spring is definitely busting out all over.


The Lilies of the Valley are coming out like crazy.


I have been busy the last two weeks.  I had two electricians for eight hours a day for five days.  They replaced all of my vintage light fixtures in the house, put in three new ceiling fans, ran electricity to the new storage building, put lights on the storage building, lights on the new deck and replaced the electrical panel in the garage.  

Then last Sunday night I had a precious new great granddaughter addition to our family. My granddaughter Cassie and her husband Mikeal had their first baby. I got pictures but they are on my phone and I'm having trouble downloading them to the computer.  

In addition to all of this activity, my computer got hacked and I spent an afternoon with the tech fixing the problem.

Now, are you ready for a few more photos of my skydiving escapade???  If not, you can leave now.  LOL











I landed and got my certificate and my Diet Coke!!


Hope you enjoy!

Judy

    Judy, I loved all your photos. Congrats on the new baby. Wow that was a lot of electrical work. You will feel safer knowing the lights are in good shape. Hang your certificate in a frame girl. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

    That was a big one for your Bucket List Judy. Loved seeing the spring flowers - and what a huge and wonderful job the electricians did. Transforming your home electricity. Welcome to the new baby.

    Oh Judy, what a happy accomplishment. The pictures are fantastic!

    Congrats on your new family addition!

    I think the flowers in your first photo are of spiderwort blooms. I have that all over down here in my FL gardens and love them.

    Enjoy your electrically updated home.

    Happy Spring ~ FlowerLady

      Thanks Lorraine. I'm so glad you knew what those blooms were. So many blooms here come up and since I'm really not a gardener, I don't know what alot of them are. Happy Spring to you.

      Thanks Linda. The fellow I was tandem jumping with (a professional, thank goodness) had a camera on his wrist. He also took a video.

    Hi Judy, I wanted to stop by to tell you how much I appreciate your prayers for my surgery last Monday. Diana posted a prayer request on her blog and I am full of gratitude! I am slowly recovering but wanted you to know how very much I appreciate you thinking of me. :-) I love your blog and look forward to following along and getting to know you better. I LOVE that you went skydiving and embrace life! Braver than me but I admire you doing that! lol Have a wonderful week!

    Blessings,
    Jill

    Those photos of you skydiving are so cool, but...no thanks! lol You sure are brave. Your weather is always way ahead of ours here in IL. We've had nothing but cold temps and non-stop rain. There's even some snow mixed in with the rain today and tomorrow. Supposed to finally warm up into the 60's this weekend. Congrats on your new great-granddaughter!

    Thanks Mel. Our weather here is just up and down. I have all kinds of plants blooming and we are suppose to have a freeze in the next few days????? Hope you get some warm weather soon.

    Hope you are doing well. You've had a rough few weeks. Get well soon.
