color=#0000FF]Good morning and Happy April Fool's!
I used to play jokes on Michael for April Fools Day. But in 1975 I was pregnant with my son and I had a dr appt that day. That evening I told Mike that the dr said we were having twins. He was so over the moon excited about TWO babies that when I finally told him the truth, he was so broken hearted that then I was broken hearted that I'd broken his heart. So I never played another joke on anyone again.
CHRISS - it was good to read your post yesterday. I'm glad things are leveling out for you and for Jerry. When you're already stressed out little things become big frustrating things. It was nice to stop and see your dad on Easter. And get in some physical excercise outside. I hope today brings smooth sailing.
CAROL - hi there! I know CA can always use rain, but getting it all at once ain't good! I hope there's no damage in your area. Your supper menu - in fact all your food yesterday - sounded tasty!
LOIS - my Bill loves soups, too. Especially chicken & anything. Our Bills seem a lot alike. What did yours do for a career? Mine was in IT for City of Tacoma.
LORI - I saw a short video on the internet of a golden named Wrigley very slowly and stealthily and carefully removing a pacifier from a newborn baby's mouth and taking it off to his bed.
You know who I thought of!!
VAL - hope you got all your chores done in time! And thanks for posting Lotto! It's a good month to be named Mary! Are you leaving for the Delta today? Or are you already there? I hope you have tons of fun with your family. I also hope you have the entire time off and don't have to run home to work a shift.
LYN - I LOVE your quilt block! Could any place be more purrfect??! Will you have electricty, insulation, wallboard, paint, and then floor last? Lots to do. And time is going quickly. I'm glad we're not in Texas now. I don't deal well with traffic and crowds. Especially if they encroach on my own property!
TINA - You had a lot of food! Who all came to supper? How did your cheesecake turn out? Towards the end of our egg-dying career, I stopped buying the egg kits and just used food coloring and vinegar in hot water. But with eggs already in colors, I'm wondering what shades you got when you colored.
JANA - did Matt et al make it home last night or did they encounter 'weather' and stop to wait it out? I was thinking about them yesterday and said a quick little prayer for them. Your deck just keeps getting better and better! I may have to stop by one day and check it out! What did your new Easter dress look like? I guess I wore a new Easter dress new but I hadn't thought of it that way. Just a little blue/white Hawaiian print sleeveless shift I bought in Costco back in January when we were in FL. It was a first time wearing so, I guess I will call that my Easter dress.
FLO - well, I for one, am happy to hear you have a lilac! Lilacs and sweet peas are my favorite flowers. They smell soooo good! Can we plant sweet peas, too, please?
JUDI - how did your day at your son's go? What was for supper? I'm thinking you said something on the grill? Was the entire clan there or just you and Ken? Keeping your DDIL in prayer. I'm suspecting it takes time to see any changes. I'm an impatient person and dislike having to wait for results. I hate hate hate remaking the beds, too. Our mattress is so heavy that I throw my back out trying to lift the corners. Usually we make both the house and trailer beds together. Hope you get some sewing time today.
TINA B - glad you are having a nice rainy day in VA! Do you have a sewing machine there that you can use? Being gone that long I think I'd have to take my sewing machine with me. It could be my carry on. Or I'd go buy a cheapie at Walmart. My addiction must be fed.
MARY Q - did you hear?? We are lotto winning twins!
Yesterday was so purrfect here. Dinner was easy, it all turned out just as I'd hoped, timing was great - almost. Doyle and Susie and extra friend, Sandi, seemed to have a great time. And best news is that Susie thinks she is finally going to be discharged in about a week with outpt PT. Today is going to be a nice day - 61*. The house is clean and with all the leftovers we have in the fridge no cooking will be necessary. And today and tomorrow I don't have to go anyplace. So it's sewing in the morning and yard work in the afternoon. It's good to be me. Bill is having cataract surgery Wed so we started his eye drop routine this morning. They are doing his bad eye first and in two weeks, they'll do his good eye.
Make it a good day!

if the world went to hell, we'd have 2 weeks of supplies with us. Some of the web straps have disintegrated to dust. I put each in a black trash bag and they will live in the closet. We need the room in that box for our stuff when we pick up Amanda and Maddox tomorrow. Since I had the big ladder out to reach the far side of the box and wipe it out, dusty dirty, I decided I would do a fun thing. I bought a barn block in Shipshewana, IN, 2 years ago. I was waiting for just the right place to hang it.
