Yesterday morning we went to the Denver Deaf Nation Expo. Gma has been deaf since she was little, as is majority of her siblings. The expo was fun and interesting. Although, not a lot for me to do. I do know some ASL (American Sign Language) as when I was in HS a friend of mine dated a guy who was deaf. I quickly learned the alphabet and some words and instantly became fascinated with it. Then once in college I decided to take Sign Language, as my dream profession was to became a deaf counselor in the school system for kids. To this day it's something I find very intriguing and interesting and it's a joy for me to (try and) communicate with my future Gma in-law in this language.
After our visit at the deaf expo we headed to a local nursery. Chris, Mary, and Bobbie Jo all have a green thumb. This is something I don't have. I have had my house for six years and have treated my small backyard with absolutely no TLC. Thankfully Chris has spent these Springtime months giving some love to the backyard, and a nursery is exactly Mary and Bobbie Jo's idea of quality shopping. So we spent 2+ hours at this nursery looking at just about everything, and doing lots of shopping.

After the busy day we headed out to a nice dinner. Gma had a margarita and a half, and who knows the last time this young 83 year old has had that much to drink! Needless to say she became the entertainment! It was such a fun dinner!
Cheers to G-Ma! (isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen?!)
They worked super hard!

When I lived with my parents while Dave was getting his masters there was a nursery not far from their house. I would take Isaac and we would walk around for HOURS. I never bought anything because I didn't have a yard but I would walk around planning what it would look like when it did. I loooove nurseries. And Isaac loved the fountains!
Gotta love girl time! Since everyone here is in apartments, our school horticulture program sells little plants in pots and stuff. They have little shops all over campus and I always want to buy stuff. I love real nurseries though! So fun.
What fun. And your backyard looks so different!!!
And shaping up beautifully.
I so look forward to meeting and spending time with Mary and Bobby Jo and enjoying Margarita's with them!
I hope the next time they come that I can come and do a girls thing with the four of us.
I too am sorry to say I do not have a green thumb. I was just recently given a beautiful purple tulip plant at work and promptly killed it. But will try to plant it anyway to see if I can revive it.
Wish me luck.
Love ya,
MOM
