Hi All,
I only got a few hours sleep last night so I'm dragging. I am de cluttering a bit at a time but keep getting sidetracked. My other project is putting my hummingbird feeders back up. I had them packed away for the winter but spring is about here in California. I need to rinse them and boil up a big batch of food to fill them with. I think I have ten or so...I love to watch the hummingbirds eat...
My other project is in the hobby room. I'm switching my wood block stamps to cling stamps. I am really getting into making cards. I meet with a group of women once a week at the senior center to make them and they even have a card holder at the main desk to sell them. I just put some in for the first time last Wednesday so it will be fun to see if I sold any this week. I do some special kinds of cards, such as bereavement cards for pet loss. They are my favorites, but many people think sending cards for that is silly. I don't.

Hi Ladies,
I had a good weekend at my brother's. Saturday my SIL and I went to a women's retreat at her church. Ate too many goodies. Saturday night we went to a play. Saw beauty and the beast. Got to see my nephew and my great niece. Sunday went to church and thought the music was going to beat my heart out of my chest. Then went shopping and stayed low the rest of the day. I came home this morning and took myself out to breakfast. Then I went shopping at Sams club. Spent too much money.
Vickie the picture of your grandsons are precious. Can't wait to see all of you.
Thoughts and prayers for eveyone. Have a good day.
Love and hugs,
Yvonne

Hi, Vickie and all who follow.
Vickie, I loved the picture of Budder and Benny! I hope you'll post more when you get them.
We're on our way to the grocery store. We made it through the wind storms we had last week. There was some signage damage in the front of some stores -- but, as far as we know, none in our neighborhood. Praise God!
My throat is a bit sore this morning. It's been a while since I've had a sore throat. I forgot how you just can't escape the discomfort unless you have a cough drop to suck on or something.
I wish you all a good day. Hugs and kisses.

Vickie, thank you for responding to my post.
I'm glad you found something that works!! I'll have to give that a try -- definitely cheaper than gong to a doc. 
I just want to say, though, that I am thankful for my doc. He definitely worked with me to get through the tough climb!!
Hugs and kisses.

Sweet Cindy, I'm glad to hear from you! I will tell you what I do when the "blue funk" threatens to descend. I LEARN something. It's the best antidote to depression that I have found. I get mentally engaged in learning something new--a craft, a point of history, a horticulture thing--whatever. If I can keep my mind busy, I find I can get through the day better.
Not trying to minimalize your depression at all! It's real and it's painful and it's hard to overcome. I'm so thankful that you are feeling better. Please keep posting. We will bolster you up, if you'll just let us try.
Love you, dear!

Good morning sistas!
Is the time change messin' with everyone the way it's messin' with me? Honestly. What fool thought this crazy scheme up? We are all mixed up around here. Fortunately we don't have to get up and go to work. I remember those days. It was miserable until I got adjusted.
Today I am trying to play in the dirt again. I never did get a single plant potted up yesterday! Instead we took Caralee for a drive. A looong drive! It was the best solution we could come up with to stop her from crying. However, it's already after noon and even though I have on my "dirt clothes", I still haven't gotten anything planted! Babies!
Got some business to take care of this week. So I need to make the most of my time. It's been over an hour since I started this post! I'd better close. Love you all!

Trish, I feel a LOT better! It was a fairly steep hill to climb -- but, with the help of my doctor, I made it to the top!! 
Hugs and kisses.

Good Morning Cindy,
I've struggled on and off with depression all my life. I have quiet times here myself. It sometimes seems too hard to just say hello even. I hope you are doing better now.
Hugs,
Trish
