This post does not have a happy ending. Our sweet Peep has a precious healthy three-week old baby duck.

6.30.20 An update or two or three or maybe more things!
It is only June and we have at least two more months of this RIDICULOUS Louisiana Heat!! I'm hiding in the house today where it's cool so I thought I'd give an update on some things in our life.

06.04.20 Chauvin Produce Company 2020 – May Update
I truly had forgotten how much time and effort is needed to grow vegetables. And just when some are starting to ripen, the temperatures soar to the 90s which makes being out there really difficult.

For Christmas last year I gave our six grandchildren a gift for them to create and give back to me. My rock room gives me so much happiness painting my little creations.

From time to time our youngest son Chip comes to visit on his day off. Today was one of those special days! He dropped precious Madisyn off at school and was at our house around 9 am.

01.26.20 Roy’s back door project
Roy started this "back door project" sometime in October of last year because the bottom of both sides of our back door had rotted and the baseboard next to it was rotted as well.
