My posts have been about the twins lately, but we have an exciting week coming up.  Molly and Sam are coming and on sunday, we will have several guests for a baby shower for them.
Yesterday, I hosted my Literary Club and our lovely Baltimore Oriole came to show off for them. Isn't he lovely.  The hummers have also returned and the swallow is building in a new house this year.  Apparently the old house has had it.
Charlie finished up his carriage house today. It is now complete.  HE has done a great job.
Jacob is coming to spend the night tonight, so I baked an angel cake for him.

Not much other news today.

Tom has now completed two benches and another one is almost done.  He has a workshop in this old schoolhouse that is one our property and he refined it when we first moved in in 1999.  
Despite his fading eyesight, he is still able to do this.  We just keep going with what we have.   I think this is a total of 7 benches he has made over last year and this year.

the twins are really growing. 

Beth and charlie are cleaning up brush in the back yard and the place us looking really nice.  The big excitement this week is preparing for Molly's shower on Sunday.  I hope we have a nice day.  Tom has been making more benches to sit around the picnic table under the birch for party comers to sit and have fellowship.  The twins will probably be in their twin stroller.

Yesterday I made Potato Leek soup for one of Beth's friends.  It was not as good as my first.  I don't know why.  It was the same recipe.
Today Diana will come for her piano lesson.  She is trying to relearn pieces she played as a child.  I am actually doing the same thing.  It's sad that we can't play things we did so well in our teen years.  I guess that's what getting old means.  Things we once had, have left our grasp.

Well, I need to get going for the day.  I miss seeing the birds.  A bear apparently ate all our bird seeds over the weekend.
