21 MAY 2011: day 141 (week 20)

kuya ed (with ate mel and grace as usual) came to cut the tree branches hanging over our neighbor's backyard (where the pool is). they requested if we could cut the branches because the leaves would be falling all over the pool. they did offer to help but suprisingly they were not home (but i did mention to them that we would cut it today...).



since it was such a beautiful day, i brought the food outside and we ate at the backyard!


and that afternoon, ronald and his family came to join our first bbq!!! we enjoyed our little backyard picnic.




and we ended the night with some singing...
