I'm still here! Got up at 6 AM just to catch up and see what's happening to my wonderful other family. No time right now to comment, but so glad SANDY has recovered! I agree with MARIE that bay-sitting is for the young and vigorous! Also agree that LIN's reaction to her loss is bodily breakdown, which is not unusual after years of keeping tight control over one's feelings and health in order to maintain sanity! Love reading everyone's posts and seeing all the fabulous pictures and videos, and want to thank BOB so much for remembering to include the link to his success story. I just emailed it to DS. Actually, I should read it over and over for me! I must shed 50 pounds now, and it was no comfort reading that caregivers tend to add weight!!!
Must have a small breakfast so I can have Sunday dinner, which is served at 12 noon.
Love you darlings, and Anne and Patsy and Bob are such wonderful additions I really miss not having more time to leisurely read everything! I am approaching 88, and find I have slowed down far more than I imagined, so nothing seems to be getting done! Ah, I finally got my taxes in! Pardon my stream of thought . Stay well, y'all!

BUZZ, so nice to hear from you. We are told our bodies are designed to last 120 years, and I'm going for it!
JACKIE, fascinating stuff! My dads mother had a real Plantagenet face, and her branch lived in remote Yorkshire for generations. It's fun to speculate.......so: Who knows, wrong side of the blanket? Common in those days. One of my uncles told me he didn't give a damn about history, all dead and gone as he put it, yet today I realise he named his house, Bosworth house, why? In honour of the Tudors, or sympathy with the Plantagenets, or just liked the name! Well I can't ask as they are all the same as the aforementioned, dead and buried. My cousin in law has just told me they've found DNA in a chap residing in Hull.
How's the house painting going? Lovely day here but chilly. Hi sneakers, hope I haven't bored you too much, but you can always skip if you see the Anne face looming up!0 -
Happy Sunday!! Well, unfortunately after feeling good yesterday morning I felt terrible again last night. I did not go to Mass yesterday or today and with the way it is raining I am content in staying home. I feel good again this afternoon especially with Phoebe's advice about gargling with salt water and hope I continue to get better. I think I slept about ten hours which I haven't done in a long long time. I hated missing Mass on Palm Sunday but I really didn't think it was smart to get others sick. If I am not better by tomorrow I will go see my doctor, but let's pray the worst is over. Robby is better also but still not 100%. I said to my son if we had to get sick this was the week to do it since his mom is off for Spring Break all week. I am getting tired of being in the house but my main goal is to get well. BTW, I met my weight goal, but I don't recommend getting sick the way to do it. Once I start eating again I will have to be more careful.
Enjoy your Sunday.
Sandy

A little bit of English Spring and always a good sign when the white bottomed bees are a-buzzing! The photo was taken by the friend that stayed with me a couple of weeks ago but today the bees will be tucked away out of the wind!
Marie ~ I thoroughly enjoyed my cottage cheese and pineapple and it sustained me through about 3 hours of painting walls before a refreshing cup of tea. I hope yours was just as tasty!
Anne ~ According to a cousin's research my family is Anglo Saxon apart from a tiny splash of Huguenot so I'm probably more German than most Germans which sides me with the Windsors but promise I won't fight you for the throne! LOL I gather even Benedict Cumberbatch is descended from Richard so you'd be in good company!
Great to see BUZZ's post.
My paintbrush is soaking and most of the furniture put back against the walls I've painted so will now get a small chillie sauce made to pour over some pasta and relax in front of the fire because my neighbour popped round about 4 pm to say she was going for a walk and volunteered to take George which was a great relief as my aching legs have had enough today.

JACKIE, so glad you aren't going to fight me for the throne as I'm the last person to be fighting! I sometimes wonder how my ancestors made it this far as all the lot I know are most definitely NOT into fighting. Not cowards, not at all, but more the diplomatic types! I think you and I will continue to love our bees and our flowers, our George's and Tabitha Daisies and Boris's, enjoy our bit of Anglo Saxon heritage and leave the battling to our more ambitious neighbours. Who on earth is Benedict Cumberbatch? Should I know, is my education sadly lacking?
ANNE.
Hope you are MUCH better tomorrow poor SANDY!0 -
Oh my goodness, just recalled who BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH is......Sherlock Holmes, etc. So sorry Benedict!0

Must be a cottage cheese day. I just had cottage cheese, mandarin oranges and some chicken for lunch.
Our dinner last night was a success. The cornish hens were bigger than we thought so not any of us could finish it. I will take ours and make some soup today.
We just got back from the ski resort to pick up our skiis from our locker and bring home for the next season. I am hoping next season will be more times out than this year.
The patrol director, which we have known for years, celebrated her 68th birthday so Dave and I shared a piece of cake in her honor.
Sandy - Kathy's due date is April 6th. I am glad you are back to feeling better. (*)
Marie - A high of 84, only pipe dream here. I heard we are going to have a cold Spring.
I hope the weather gurus are wrong.
Lin - You are doing fantastic on your steps.
Hi to Phoebe, Anne, Jackie, Barbie, Bob and Patsy.
Sunny but cold today, I did wear a hooded sweatshirt instead of a coat. That's a good thing.

Jackie – your granny was a smart cookie. If only I had stuck with moderation, I wouldn’t have gained all that weight…My usual “official” weigh-in is tomorrow morning, but I know I am ok based on “calories-in & calories-out” – I have maintained a deficit all week. I loved the macro photo of the bee. Isn’t that something Buzz should have posted? – a bit of sophomoric humor.
Thanks re: the death of my nieces husband. The funeral is Wednesday. I saw the 4 kids today and they seem pretty emotional right now.
Barbie – Glad you enjoy some fried fish. As a kid in my teens (for 4 yrs), I worked for a local take-out fish fry on Friday & Saturday. We served all different kinds of seafood and I never got sick of any of it. I know the fries aren’t good for dieting – but I haven’t eaten them more than a ½ dozen times in the past year (of course, they were planned calories). As for line dancing – I do enjoy watching those moves – remember Urban Cowboy?
Anne – Thanks…death is never easy but especially hard when the person is only 38. My daughter turns 38 this year and I know it would crush me.
Lin – thanks for the encouragement. Love reading your “positive” quotes.
Marie – I think it is great you are always on the go. I can’t wait for 60 degrees let alone 84..you are one lucky woman. That is summer weather for us. You won't hear a peep out of me this summer re: heat.
Buzz – Glad you got the link and hope it strikes a chord with DS. Sometimes those are things we log in our heads and then hit us at a later date. I think at almost 88 you are entitled to slow down a bit. I know people in their 40’s that do almost nothing…again…time and energy is wasted on the youth sometimes.
Sandy – sorry you are still under the weather. It was very thoughtful of you to skip mass. I must say, it kind of bothers me when I see someone sneeze into their hands (or worse) and then want to do the “sign of peace” handshake. In those situations, I sometimes fib and say I have a tiny cold and don’t want to infect them… Did I just admit to lying in church? LOL
Hello to you too Shirley!
Guess I’ll watch a little 60 Minutes & then some Madam Secretary.
Night all. Bob

Hello everyone - just sending along a quick note and best wishes to everyone.
Sandy - I am sorry you're ill once again and I agree with Bob that it was considerate of you to stay home. I sat behind a very sick lady at church today. The coughing was horrendous. I am hoping my immunity is strong! And I hope you will be on the mend once again tomorrow.
Anne and Jackie - so glad there's no fighting in your future. I wouldn't know who to root for---love you both.
Marie - oh my, warm weather indeed. There's a rumor we may see 70 degrees again tomorrow.
Buzz - you are definitely entitled to life your life on your own schedule now. Good for you! We always appreciate hearing from you though.
Shirley - it will be so different for you to have DH home with you. I spoke with my friend on Friday about her plans. Her DH is retired now and she cannot decide when to retire and I asked her what plans they had or were they talking about how they will want to spend their time and what they might want to do when they are both retired. She just looked at me and finally said, she didn't think they could afford to do anything. I don't think she wants to retire and is frightened to not have her paycheck even though their stack of investments is pretty darn large.
Phoebe - on the road again...........hugs to you, DH, and Honey.
Patsy - I think I must have missed your post today. Sorry!!
Going for a glass of water. My sinuses have been on a rampage today, bloody nose and all and now my throat is dry from all the drainage I think. Sorry, TMI.............
See you soon.

Life is interesting these days. Tomorrow I have another eye injection for macular degeneration. This is very scary for me. Of all the illnesses I could have...I really hate this one. But truly, is there any illness that would please me? No! I wish for eternal youth, un wrinkled skin, good teeth and sweet breath and a Great figure and blessed good health. I'll let you guess which of these wishes I already have....wrong! It is ETERNAL YOUTH! I will report tomorrow on how brave I was and how I didn't bite the doctor. Patsy0
-
PATSY, I'll be there with you mentally holding your hand when you have the injection. It's something I would dread too. God bless. By the way I guessed right for once. You HAVE eternal youth. Did the doctor have to have a rabies shot? Just kidding.
LIN, bless you, I know you wouldn't root for either of us! I can see you patting us on our heads, and saying "there there girls it isn't WORTH it", and digging out one of your wonderful calming sayings which we all enjoy reading so much. You are loved in return, and I sincerely hope you don't get the thoughtless ones horrid cold!
Isn't it funny how people dread retirement, and especially if they actually can afford to retire. I positively skipped out of the office for the last time. No more buying of gifts for all and sundry, no more numerous gifts to certain charities I didn't want to gift, no more collections for all the people leaving during a time of layoffs for some poor souls, no more buying coffee all around, no more panty hose and looking smart at all times (oh the joy of jeans and grubbing in the garden) being able to chop at my own hair, for who cares if I look like the witch of the North, no more cash on rides to work, I was personally and pleasantly surprised after retirement that although on a much reduced income, I was actually better off!
Have a lovely Monday all the rest of you lovely SNEAKERS, ANNE.

Phew, quite a walk this morning because seeing the car park at the woods full because of holidaying tourists I took George up a quiet steep track, lots of which had been washed out by heavy rain so by the time I got to the top my heart was pounding and lungs heaving.... I kept telling myself it was the right sort of exercise if those 2 organs were working hard!! It was peaceful with birds singing and somewhere a partridge calling for a mate. It took me well over an hour to walk round before literally sliding down a slope to reach a path taking me back to the car park and George loved every minute. I could tell because he was covered in mud and composting leaves! Just eating a light lunch, again cottage cheese and pineapple and then the paintbrush will be back out to continue painting walls.
Bob ~ My Gran did a Home Economics course back in the 1950's and was full of such quotes..." you are what you eat" was another favourite and it certainly stuck with me and my brothers because when we met up last year we were reminiscing about just how many sayings she would come out with. Yes, she was a smart cookie but also a tough one, something I don't regret because she taught us so much during a period of rationing after the war so I've never struggled to budget whatever my financial situation.
It's desperately sad about your niece's children but hopefully they're close and will be able to support each other as well as their mother through what is a ghastly time for them.
Anne ~ If I'd mentioned Sherlock being a descendant you'd have thought me bonkers.... glad you got it in the end. LOL My family is also made up of more passive thinkers than the alternative and always on the side of Mother Nature.
Lin ~ It's a shame when money gets in the way of people enjoying life; I've a friend exactly the same as yours who seems incapable of making the most of life's rich tapestry for fear of going short of a few pennies. Hopefully you've had a good rest overnight and are feeling better.
Phoebe ~ Are you home for those 2 days yet and how's Honey? I do hope her treatment is working.
Patsy ~ I'm thinking of you today having that injection but expect it's a necessary evil that will hopefully slow down any decline in your sight.
Well, no excuses as I've eaten lunch, sipped a coffee and must now get down to some serious painting. I wish it was Patsy's sort on an easel but never mind! LOL
Jackie0 -

Marie
Shirley having your lunch from yesterday. cottage cheese, mandarine orange and some nuts0 -
Happy Monday!! Finally I am feeling better, except for a tiny sore throat and a little cough. At least I feel human again and plan on going to the store for my Easter cards so I can get them in the mail. My cleaning girl is coming this afternoon so maybe life is back to normal once again, at least I hope so. My energy level is not up to par, but maybe once I get some fresh air it will help. We are expecting Spring type temps this week which we all need with some sunshine.
I will try to get back later but need to jump in shower and get organized, not moving as fast as I would like.

Good evening – I am watching the first part of the Ken Burns documentary on cancer. What more can I say……
Sandy – I am glad you are feeling better and hope you got some things accomplished today.
Bob – good start to your day….you are so very consistent! Yippee!
Marie – how was your time with Alice this past weekend?
Jackie – how did your painting go this go-round? You must be developing some strong arms!!
Anne – did the snow you spoke of recently melt?? We had a day of just over 70 degrees although it really was spring in that it was very windy! After picking up the mail, I was just about blown the ½ block back to my house.
Patsy – still holding my breath hoping all went well with your injections today. I hope we hear from you soon. A friend’s husband gets those injections and for some reason they do not bother him a bit.
Did a few errands today and finished picking up some things for a couple of Easter baskets I’ve been working on. They didn’t end up being that attractive but they will be something. I don’t think these kids will get much and I know, it’s not Christmas but kids always like to get a few new little trinkets.
At about 19,000 steps today. I probably never mentioned that I finally tumbled to the fact that my shoes were not providing the support and cushion that they did when they were new. All the lining was worn through so I replaced them. New shoes and new Thorlo socks and oh my gosh, what a difference! So much better I cannot believe it.
See you tomorrow………..
Lin

19,000 steps wow. that's a bunch.
marie0 -
Back from the eye doc and there was good news. The injections seem to be working and will be able to extend the frequency to 6 weeks apart. GREAT! This new medication is a bit irritating but tolerable. Thanks for all your best wishes on this. I confess to being terrified of losing more eyesight. I can get along fine with what I've got. I need glasses and lots of light. Can't thread needles and I paint with a lighted magnifying glass attached to a headband. I look like a demented coal miner.
Health concerns are a never ending challenge. I know we all have to deal with that. I am grateful for the medical advances we enjoy today.
Easter week is so special to us. Our anniversary is this week. We will host a little family Easter get together. We are a small family. We don't do this often enough. I try to do things to make it special for us. There are no children in our family now. But adults need jolly times too so I am putting together Easter baskets for each one of us. I am decorating the house and will have Easter Lilies everywhere.
I feel blessed and grateful for the gift of continued healing, good medical care, sweet family and friends (cyber and physical).

to Patsy and her DH! Happy to hear your eyes are not an imminent problem
Hi everybody. Thanks so much for your understanding care! Buzz 0 -
Hi all,
Just got back. We went up to a funeral for my uncle in the community ingle up in. About 3 hrs away. Long drive fo me but nice to see my relatives. How did my cousins get old looking -- lol.
I'll read the comments and catch up tomorrow m
Good night
Jeri0 -
Good morning sneakers. I've just been putting my curtains or drapes back up after a bit of a spring clean. However, in answer to your question LIN, yes I still have a small amount of snow in the back garden, but then, it WAS minus 3C overnight. I have a cardinal sat looking hopeful on an apple tree branch, but the poor guy is out of luck because I have no seed left. This afternoon it will be plus 5C, that's about 40F I believe, so quite a ways to go before catching you lucky people up.
PATSY, happy anniversary, and happy EASTER with the children. SUCH good news about your eyes! I'm so happy for you.
And SHIRLEY, Dave's last day I believe in the work force. All those lovely golden hours of freedom ahead of you.
JACKIE, nearly finished painting I expect and a lovely new carpet coming to snuggle your tootsies in.
BOB already at the gym? BUZZ going off for breakfast? PHOEBE out on the road? BARBIE out with the dogs? JERI, home safe and sound, MARIE fantastic weight loss! SANDY getting better and ALL of you, happy last day of MARCH!
ANNE0 -
Just passing through on my way to shut the chooks away for the night and then get the furniture back from the middle of the sitting room again. Had a good swim this morning as I met up with friends at 9 am and we got nearly an hour in before the local children, all on their Easter break, piled in for a fun and flume couple of hours. No place for any adults to be with all that splashing and crashing about!!
Your weather seems as crazy as ours but I see why, the jet stream is going at full pelt whipping up high winds and cool temperatures from your continent to my little island!
Lin ~ Yesterday it was such a gloomy day my wall painting came to a rapid stop because I couldn't see new paint from old as I ran the brush over the walls so thought it best to give up otherwise only have to repeat the whole process today. Delighted to see your new shoes have made all the difference and think sometimes the obvious can be right under our nose and we don't spot it for a while!
Anne ~ I did spent a few hours this afternoon after my swim and dog walk through the woods painting but still have quite a bit to do as there's the dreaded gloss to put on the woodwork waiting to be done and tomorrow I'm out all day. Easter looks a quiet time for me so I can crack on over the weekend.
Patsy ~ Such good news after your visit for those injections as it seems they are working and I'm sure we all totally understand and empathise with your fears, especially since you so obviously love your art work.
Almost dark outside so must get those hens shut away.
Jackie0 -
Happy Tuesday!! I had a bad night again last night so I made an appointment to see my doctor this afternoon. Of course I felt much better today but went anyway. She said no pneumonia a little bit of bronchitis so she gave me an antibiotic to the tune of $103.00.
I don't take any prescriptions drugs so I have no drug plan so I was shocked with the amount. Now let's just pray that they kick in and I will be fine for Easter.
Patsy,
I am glad the shots are working for you and can imagine how scary it is to see a needle coming toward your eye. Reminded me of my cataract surgery which I survived.
Jackie, you keep your little cottage neat and tidy even though it is hard work, you are super woman. For the new people you once again have to post a picture of the outside because it out of a story book.
Anne, all this spring cleaning is making me feel lazy. However, I haven't even lived here a year so I don't think I need to do any extensive type cleaning. I am, I think and hope finally getting better and expect full recovery by the weekend.
Jeri, sorry about your uncle, my deepest sympathy.
Marie, lunch sounds like it was wonderful with Alice. She is such a good daughter, how is her weight watchers going???
Lin, glad you got some new shoes and are able to enjoy all those steps you are conquering.
Bob, glad you like the recumbent bike, I know I really do like mine when I am healthy.
Now why I posted this on Facebook I have no idea but will share with you only because I think it is funny. I put on this mask at the doctors office just to be nice but I could also be ready for surgery if needed. Too many wrinkles are showing but oh well.
Have a good day.
Sandy

Good afternoon dear friends – some more zipping around today because the weather is fabulous here and it seemed a good thing to take advantage of it to do some errands before it changes again. Got a fabulous lot of fresh vegetables at Trader Joe’s this morning. Got them unloaded and then took my SUV to the gas station for a fill-up (it is going in for all day maintenance on Thursday so thought having gas was a good idea). Then over to World Market for a few things and home again---added to the Easter baskets I’m taking to those children at church on Sunday. Patsy, I don’t have family so I guess I just snare folks who look like they could use a little extra. Hope no one gets insulted. Oh well, I’ll risk it.
I’m taking it easy on the walking. I was too enthusiastic in my 20 and 30 thousand step days and now my knee is not particularly happy with me. I’ll be calm for a while. Ha.
Marie – oh yes, new shoes are so good aren’t they? Glad you had a good time with Alice. And I am glad you got some black-eyed peas----one of your favorites.
Patsy – congrats on your good news from the eye doctor. I would want to follow all treatment as well. Losing your eyesight is a frightening thing although I know many many people do very well without it. And as I mentioned, the baskets I am making are not for family, just a couple of little kiddies at church. I am glad you make the day special for the adults. Yes! And Happy Anniversary to you.
Buzz – hi---so glad you stopped by.
Jeri – also great to see you.
Anne – I can see a poor sorrowful Cardinal sitting dejectedly in your yard hoping for seed…….awwwww. Hoping it warms up soon in your area.
Shirley – how did the day go? Is your DH sad now that he really is retired?
Jackie – my gosh, lots left to do on the painting project. I hope it goes well over the weekend. Enjoy your day out tomorrow. The weather does need to calm down doesn’t it? Now it is so dry here everyone is on fire alert. Today there was a controlled burn along the railroad track and they had so many guys there turning the brush over to make sure all the fire was out and they were soaking down around the large wooden utility poles to make sure they didn’t catch on fire. I’ve never seen so many people working at one of these fires! Oh I would imagine swimming with all the kids around would have been a nightmare. I was in a store yesterday and two ladies had several children with them and just let them run wild. They were literally running through the store and screaming and making all sorts of noises. The ladies looked as if they didn’t hear them, wow, I did. As they went by me I could not believe how loud those two little kids were. But I live alone, I don’t yell at myself so I don’t hear that often.
Sandy - it was considerate of you to wear a mask. So many people are ill and do not do that. I hope the bronchitis is history soon!
Onward my friends. I hear that documentary on cancer continues tonight. I don’t know if I’ll watch it or not. But that’s a decision for later.
Wishing everyone good health.

Thank you dear sneakers for your beautiful anniversary wishes. We married right out of high school and went to college as a young married couple. Being young and silly, we were too busy with college studies and jobs to ever even consider any other life. It is romantic and fun to look at school pictures and college momentos. What a journey we have had!
An orca pod has shown up near Cape Disappointment. There is one newborn and mom amoung them. These whales are tagged and tracked by satellite. Everyone is out trying to get a few pictures but they are staying out of camera range. We have not seen them yet.
Very chilly today. We will see showers all week. We used to schedule Easter egg hunts for the kids in the local park but the weather has been so untrustworthy in recent years, this has been abandoned. I remember the elaborate egg hunts our family used to have. We all had sets of rabbit ears we wore all day on Easter Sunday. Our daughter wore hers even to bed. Since she is in her 40s now, I believe she has given this up...I Think!
I saw a checkers set with black and white bunnies in a local gift shop, I fear I must get it!!! I am sure we need it for after the Easter Dinner activities. What are your Easter plans, my dear sneakers? We are having salmon. We live in Oregon, after all. We eat seafood for every occasion.
Patsy0 -
Good evening Sneaker friends.....
I know it has been a while since I have been on here, but we have been traveling with our travel trailer again for the last 10 days. First we headed north to the FRA convention for 3 days. Gambled a bit since it was at a casino, but had no luck unfortunately. We then headed south on our way to Santa Barbara Ca. with a stop in between for 1 night. Once in Santa Barbara we made the usual trip to Solvang, which is a cute little Danish town. We also took a lengthy drive to a beach, which was much further than we anticipated...curvy roads and all, but the scenery was so pretty. Once Sat came we got together with my sister and husband for lunch and then a tour of the Santa Barbara area and surrounding communities where my brother in law pointed out all of these incredible estates owned by various movie stars. One would never know there were houses up on these hills as they were densely covered with oak trees. On occasion we could take a peak at the incredible ocean views these homes have. We ended the day by having dinner with them in the cute little town of Los Olivos, which is now quite popular for its wine tastings and art galleries. They have lived there for about 20 yrs now. Sadly we had to leave the next day with our usual stop half way home for the night and then homeward bound. We had a very relaxing time and were more than ready to get out of town.
See it still has been cold in some areas where you live, but glad to see that spring is starting to come in your various areas. While out of town we were in the upper 80s, but it has since started to cool down to the mid 70s this week. Our green hills are already turning brown and with these warmer temps already I really think we are in for a hot summer with little water and unfortunately the forest fires that result from little rain. It is going to be a wild ride I am afraid.
Have enjoyed reading your notes, but have lots to catch up on. Just because a place says it has Wifi doesn't mean we have had internet capabilities. The RV parks are way behind in updating their wifis. Lots of RVers these days with all of the boomers retiring, which also means more crowded parks and Wifi issues.
Well it is getting late, so I am going to call it a night.
Until next time, Diane 0 -
Good morning sneakers. I'm still getting used to our loss of an hour at the weekend as we crept into Spring so must dash off for doggie walk because it's already way past 9 o'clock! George will then travel with me to Bodmin town where friends are now living having moved back from Brittany a few years ago. He gets to visit and no doubt get lots of treats while I go on to my hairdresser... just a tidy this time! The sun is shining at the moment but the forecast is for more showers which may or may not come my way.
Sandy ~ I do hope those antibiotics ease your chest so you get to feel your normal self again. As you say, at that cost they'd better work! Someone somewhere making a fortune out of others ill health!
Have a good Wednesday. No chance for me to avoid naughty food because my friend likes to bake but I've been very good all week and will continue that regime the rest of the week so no real harm done!
Jackie0 -
Patsy – That checker set sounds unique you should consider purchasing it. We all need a bit of whimsy in our lives. Enjoy! Living here in the Midwest everything sounds so exotic to me. Orca pod? Wow. Amazing.
Diane – your trip sounds wonderful. I love your descriptions of all the places you visit. Interesting that Wi-Fi is getting overloaded. I hadn’t thought of that although it makes sense because even in our local Starbucks it can be difficult to anything when there’s a full house. So happy to see you.
Jackie – enjoy your day even with the treats. You seem to be able to handle having just a bit and getting right back on track. That is wonderful. I’m not wired that way for the most part. There are few things I can handle that way. Hugs for George!
And a good morning to everyone. I’m changing up my routine and my errands are finished but instead of doing my walking now I’ve decided to do all my email and online chores early. I clearly am tired most of the time when I finally check in.
I bought all the needed ingredients to try a new bean burger. I have to decide if I want to go through the long and laborious process to make them. But it would be nice to have something to take for Easter that wasn’t just salad and fruit. So we’ll see.
Happy day to all may you not be fooled!

Happy Wednesday! Going to a movie with Babe, let's hope I don't cough through the whole thing. (bringing cough drops) I found a coupon for my antibiotic and I am going to go back to Walmart to see if they give me some money back, will let you know.
I feel pretty good except for the cough, just waiting for the antibiotic to kick in.
Have a great day and don't get fooled by the jokers for April Fools Day.
