Roses at Flipside

At the end of March we finally got the roses into the ground in the front at the Flipside. We also replaced one of the birch trees that mysteriously died last year. The transformation is amazing! Ken & Steve unloaded the goods.
Then the holes were dug! Shellie made sure each rose bush was carefully placed in their new home.Finale!Give it a year and it is going to look so beautiful, well at least for an ex-warehouse facility that is home for the Flipside!

Grandma's visitor

In late March, Grandma's sister Wanda came out for a few days just to be together!

Trip to Georgia

In early March Shellie, Jasen & Pam voyaged to Georgia for ten days. When they arrived there was snow on the ground and there was no sign of Spring anywhere to be found. By the time they left, things had begun to happen (as you will see at the end of this post).Shellie & Jasen at the airport - in transit for Georgia.Hunter & Rudolph JonahHanging out at the table. One of their early stops was Real Deals.
