Howdy all y'all. It's sumptous Sunday!
We have 17 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected mostly cloudy high of 26 and 1% chance of precipitation.
The Easter Bunny visited!
These are pretty small chocolate bunnies. We had our Cadbury eggs Ferraro Rocher hazelnut chocolates pre-easter, when we thought Jason would not be home for Easter, but when it turned out he would be (and is) home, the Easter Bunny hopped right in again! Coincidentally, I happened to go grocery shopping yesterday and they might have jumped into my buggy.
No laundry was done, so no clothes to fold.
Easter Sunday dinner should be around 1 or 2. I'll have stuffed/deviled eggs for appetizer, sliced ham, potato salad (egg mustard for me and Southern style for Jason but he'll probably have some of both, from Kroger), a broccoli cheese gratin casserole, purchased frozen, possibly some baked beans, and carrot cake for dessert, from Kroger.
The only thing I have to "cook" are the boiled eggs for stuffing/deviling, and the broccoli cheese casserole, and I may microwave that. I'm pondering. It would come out nicer from the oven, but takes an hour to bake. It can be ready in less than 10 minutes if I microwave it.
If it looks nice I'll probably get a photo of my plate.

good morning
Ed, nice bunnies, and your dinner looks good, with a nice Spanish wine. The carrot cake looks really good! (I have such a sweet tooth!)
Hi Jo and Irene.
I hope you all had a lovely Easter.
I did some cleaning yesterday, and sat outside reading for a while, enjoying the weather.
It's currently 49F, 9C, raining. High 58F, 14C. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch.
I may go to the library later, after daily exercise and games. NYT has a new game in beta, so I've added that.
Wishing all a bright, shiny new week.

Currently 48F with a high of 59F.
My oldest sister had a massive stroke last week and passed away yesterday morning. She was 86 and lived in Florida.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 19 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 27 and 7% chance of precipitation.
Jason has gone on a work trip but should be back tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
Nothing critical on the agenda for today. Hoping for a slow work day but that's not really likely.

SCAM OF THE WEEK:
Fake Financial File Phishing
In a recent phishing email scam, cybercriminals use vague financial terms that attempt to make you curious enough to click the attachment in the email. The subject of the email is “Remittance Summary,” and the malicious attachment is named “Payment Advice.” The body of the email only says, “Find attached payment advice for remittance.. Kindly revert.” The sender of the email appears to be legitimate, but it is actually sent from a fake sender address. If you download the PDF file, the malware will begin installing on your computer.
The attached malware is designed to gather sensitive information from your device. It can find personal data stored in your web browser, such as login credentials. It can also install a keylogger, which is a type of malware that records every key pressed on your keyboard. Whenever you enter your username and password, the keylogger can record exactly what you’ve typed and send it directly to the cybercriminals.
Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a financial phishing scam:
Be skeptical. If an email looks suspicious or contains unusual grammatical errors, immediately report it to your organization.
Check the email address carefully. Cybercriminals will often use email addresses that appear very similar to legitimate senders.
Never download unexpected attachments. If you’re not expecting an attachment or the email is from someone that you don’t know, don’t open it.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 16 (Celsius) mostly cloudy degrees with an expected mostly cloudy, windy high of 17 and 11% chance of precipitation.
We had a few storms roll through during the night, bringing the beginning of another cold snap. We'll have a few cool days and cold nights again as winter tries to make another comeback.
Jason is back from his short business trip and I need to do laundry today.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 7 (Celsius) clear degrees (feels like 4) with an expected mostly sunny high of 15 and 1% chance of precipitation. I have laundry to fold. That doesn't mean it will be folded, but it is in the dryer, and I need to wash the other bin of laundry too so will probably get to the folding today.

Good Morning,
Well today I start pt for balance hope it helps
So far it has stopped raining but it is suppose to rain later today I am so looking forward to seeing the sun.
Take care everyone0 -
good morning
Ed, happy folding!
Irene, good luck with your PT. They usually start you out slowly with balance exercises, I'm sure it will help. We've got a tiny bit of sun peeking through, not much.
Hi Jo, are you getting storms?
It's currently 42F, 6C. Mostly cloudy with some showers this afternoon. Thunder possible. High 53F, 12C. Winds W at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 70%.
I stopped by the local Sr. Center yesterday. The manager was interested in starting a stained glass group here. I gave her some info so she could look into costs, discussed space requirements, and sort of volunteered to help/manage the group. It would be nice to have that close by.
I have a massage scheduled for this a.m. (Yay!!!)
Wishing all a fine Thursday. (I keep getting a day ahead of myself this week! It is Thursday, not Friday!)

good morning
Ed, enjoy your sunny day!
Irene, glad the PT is good.
Hi Jo.
Maddie started daycare/preschool this week, so it's been a little rough for them, but she's doing pretty well with it. Saw the other 2 little ones last night. 💗
I picked up some eclipse glasses yesterday. Ready for Monday!
I'll go out to try to find some drawer and file containers later. So hard to keep things organized.
It's currently 43F, 6C. Showers early with some clearing for the afternoon. High 51F, 11C. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 50%.
Wishing all an easy Friday. 🌦️🌂🌸🪻0 -

All the laundry is done.
Waiting for breakfast biscuits to finish baking.
Not sure whether shopping will be today or tomorrow.
Hope the therapy remains OK Irene.

Good morning.
Well yesterday we had an earthquake but no damage it was real fast I don't think any body got hurt
take care0 -
good morning
Irene, glad you had no damage from the earthquake. They can be scary. It didn't rumble here.
Ed, breakfast biscuits sound yummy.
Jo, how's it going. Hope you didn't get that storm.
I picked up some organizers yesterday, and cleaned out the junk drawer in my kitchen. It looks so much better! I also picked up an extra file container so our files are not so crowded.
I always have things that need to be sorted/organized, it's never ending.
All is well. It's mostly cloudy and a bit windy this morning. Currently 44F,7C. Overcast. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 53F, 12C. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.
Wishing all a fun weekend. ☕🌥️🌂🍷🌸🪻0 -
good morning
Having a nice relaxing weekend. I made tofu piccata for dinner yesterday (from a recipe). Very lemony, but refreshing, light, and different.
It's sunshiny this morning!!! Yay!!!
It's currently 44F, 7C. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 61F, 16C. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Wishing all a beautiful Sunday. 🌞🌞🌞🌸🪻0 -
Good morning;
Currently 37F with a high of 46F and cloudy. I think we are finally over the rain for a while. Yesterday we had snow showers, light drizzle, downpours and a little sunshine and more rain.
Irene-I am glad you didn't have any damage from the earthquake. I hope the PT helps you with your balance.
Vix-I am ready for the eclipse also, hubby have me one of his welding shields to use. I remember how hard it was to put
my children in daycare. They were fine, but I was a wreck.
I have been slowly trying to organize my house and get rid of
things that I have been saving because I might need them.
Ed-now that the laundry is all done, you can have some time for yourself to relax.
I made blueberry muffins for hubby and cleaned the upstairs bathroom. I am having a little break before I start my next project, putting way the snow shovels, brushes and boots.
Have a good day! 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous, sunny Sunday!
We have 14 sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 23 and 0% chance of precipitation.
Here in the south we didn't feel any of the earthquake but we WERE in a conferenc call and one of my co-workers in New Jersey, who had never experienced an earthquake, was suddenly freaking out because his house was shaking. He left the meeting for a bit, with managerial blessing of course, from Jason, to make sure his house was OK and check on his cat. The cat eventually came out from under a bed where he was lurking in fear.
Our cats weren't terribly happy about letting me sleep in today but on the plus side for them, they got fed before me this morning, as their usual feeding time is about 9:30 and they DID get me up in time for that, barely. LOL.
After feeding them I ate some meatballs and leftover potato salad, then got some beef stew started in my largest crock pot.
I do need to get to the pet store and the grocery today, but don't intend that outing to be too long.

Jo, so glad you didn't get any of the bad storms. It was so nice to see the sun yesterday! You are always so busy. It is so hard to organize and get rid of things!
Ed, I like crock pots, and stew is always a good comfort food.
Irene, glad you are starting PT soon. Have so much fun at the bridal shower next weekend! Best wishes to your niece.
We spent some time with my daughter's family yesterday, always fun. We'll be picking Will up from preschool early so he can watch the eclipse with us. We all have eclipse glasses. 😎
My housecleaner is coming this morning, so yay for that.

Ed-your beef stew looks so good. I love beef stew, one of my favorite foods.
Irene-Have a great time at the Bridal shower and best wishes to your niece.
Vix-you always seem to be busy too. I like to keep busy, it keeps me out of trouble.
I have to make a trip to the library this afternoon and then I plan on watching the eclipse.
I may also get out in the yard to start cleaning up my flower beds.
Enjoy your day! 0 -
SCAM OF THE WEEK:
Suspicious Smishes
Cybercriminals often use text messages to try and trick you into clicking on malicious links, a method known as “Smishing.” In a recent scam, they send a fake text message that says a package is unable to be delivered to you. The text contains a link, but it may not be clickable. There is a security feature on many smartphones that automatically disables links in unexpected messages. So, the cybercriminals will instruct you on how to bypass the feature. The message says to copy and paste the link into your browser to open it. There is a sense of urgency to the message. It says that you must use the link to confirm your delivery information in 12 hours in order to receive your package.
If you follow the instructions and open the link, you will be taken to a web page that appears to belong to the package carrier. You will be asked to enter your personal or financial information on the website. However, the website is fake, so entering your personal details will allow cybercriminals to steal this information.
Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a smishing scam:
In this case, the instructions ask you to paste the link into your browser in order to open it. Be aware of unusual instructions in a text message. The message also instructs you to take action quickly. Cybercriminals frequently use this technique to try and trick you into acting impulsively.
It is suspicious to receive a text message for a package delivery if you are not expecting a package. Always ask yourself if the message is expected.
Do not tap on links in an unexpected message. It’s always safer to navigate to the official website in your web browser.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 15 (Celsius) rainy degrees with an expected rainy high of 19 and 100% chance of precipitation.
Little sausage biscuit sandwiches for breakfast, from the freezer. Jimmy Dean I think.
I stepped out to view what eclipse we had, and it was a lovely day for it. I viewed by noticing how dark it became, and looked at the crescent shapes in the leaf shadows, where the sun peeked through. Jason went with a friend to a small town in Indiana for the total eclipse, and viewed it in a park near that town.
We'll see what is ready at work this morning shortly.
