SPRING IN NY!

It is definitely spring in NY.  All the trees are budding.  Flowering bushes and trees are blooming, like the Forsythias and dogwood.  It is really pretty.  Everyone says it is too early.  We've had very warm 70 degree weather for a week but last couple of days has been cold again.

Our trip back to Florida has been delayed since my brother Tom broke his right elbow at work on April 1st.  He still can't use it of course, so we'll be staying another 2 weeks to help him out.  We've made plans for him to fly back with us and he will visit some relatives in St. Petersberg while we go on up to Gainesville.  We'll then go back down and take him to the Orlando airport to fly home.

House is almost completed.  The bathroom still needs to be finished.  We had to let go the handyman b/c we didn't like how he did the tile on the floor. He didn't take it well and was quite nasty near the end.  It's been very negatively emotional for us here the last couple of days. 

We hired a tile contractor instead to do the tile which we should have done all along.  Oh well, live and learn.  Bob still has to paint the upstairs bedroom and put down the laminate wood-look floor and then the upstairs will be done.  All except the interior doors which we may leave for my brother John to do.

Here's a picture of Lake Wawayanda State Park nearby.  We went out for a few hours one afternoon:


Some beautiful Forsythias also:
