Weeks pack full of fun!

The last few weeks we have been pretty busy here in the Queen City. We have had visitors, working in the yard, some minor home repairs and enjoying each other's company.

A few weekends back, our friends, Ben and Cheryl from NYC, were in town visiting. A bunch of us met at the Buffalo Brew Pub for some cold drinks and then the four us still had some life in us for midnight cosmic bowling.

Some say we are twins or the same person....Personally, I do not see it....

Mama and Papa Hall made a visit to our neighbors to the North and spent the weekend at Niagara on the Lake. T and I met up with them one day to visit some wineries and have lunch. It was a beautiful weekend to be spending at the wineries. Later the next day on their way out of town, Mama and Papa Hall stopped by the house to see some new improvements, such as the famous Man Room. While they were here, we introduced them to the Nintendo Wii...rather than start them at Guitar Hero III, we started them out with Wii Bowling...

If memory serves me right, I think Mama Hall beat Papa Hall. I smell a rematch!

Now that the weather is finally in full spring mood we are able to do one of our favorite things. That's right.....grilling on the deck! I have finally joined the rest of the 'normal' workforce with 7am-4pm, M-F hours. So nights like these will be much more of a constant!With the nice weather finally here, we can now do yard work (which Estella, aka my truck, has been very helpful with) . We are in the process of redoing all the landscaping this summer. So far the perimeter of the pool has been weeded and mulched and new bushes have been planted in the front of the house. (More pics to follow).
Unfortunately, we have also had to perform a small home repair.

Yes, that is a water spot on the ceiling.

This is what the roof looked like above the water spot:

Last weekend, T and I spent our weekends differently. I went to the Cleveland with some buddies to watch the Yanks (yes, my curse of not seeing the Yankees win is still holding strong) and T hosted a bachelorette party at our house. These were our seats in right field of The Jake, well, now Progressive Field.

Stayed tuned for more updates!
