It's been a rough couple of weeks. I hurt my back and was out of commission for a while, and Terry waiting for biopsy results has been unnerving to say the least.
We did go to the salvage warehouse last weekend and found the perfect door for the vestibule in the living room. It needs a lot of rehab; a total reworking of the hinges and doorknob, but Terry likes the challenge.
This old door suits this house perfectly and will let light in to the vestibule. The old door that was there was solid and dark and made the space so uninviting.
We finally had a chimney sweep come in and check out the fireplace and chimney, and he cleaned it and said it was in exceptionally good condition.
That was good news, and we also had him put a critter cap on (that had been missing).
$250 well spent.
Some plants ready to take to mom's on Mother's Day. We already took a load of mulch over there, and on Sunday we will be working in her yard, getting it all cleaned up, and flowers planted.
There's my gargoyle peeking through some tulips I planted around him.
I don't think he likes them.....
Lot's of seeds to plant...
Got some corn, spinach, watercress, beans, and radishes, and I even bought a couple of Rhubarb shoots to add to the garden.

Today we went to Nick's graduation from Wayne State University, and it was held at Ford Field in downtown Detroit.
We drove around for an hour trying to find parking (we were fashionably late), and then sat in awe of the enormity of this graduation.
1,500 students recieving degrees, in a venue so large that we couldn't even see what was happening except for the big screen TV's all over the place.
There's Nick, receiving his diploma, and we got the picture off of the big screen.

After that, we went to the doctor to find out if Terry had cancer or not.
He did not, and I never even entertained the idea anyway.
It was a long day and we are glad it's over.
