Good Morning everyone.....
Last night I decided to try my computer one more time. It let me type in letters and numbers and they were all right. I tried to log in and it wouldn't let me. I finally called Apple again....I got the most wonderful supervisor!!! He spoke with me for an hour and a half. He figured out what was happening. He then went about checking other things to be sure everything was as it should be. I have never in my life worked with any computer person that kind and caring. He had so much patients with me. He was very professional. He even had me checking on the cable connections to be sure nothing was off there. I was in tears when I called, afraid to hear what was wrong. He said, he would not leave me until I was satisfied that all was well. He went above and beyond!! He also sent me an email with all his phone numbers and work schedule. He asked that I call him directly as he knows me and my computer. I was so impressed!!! YES, I did write a note to him and also to APPLE about the service he provided.
I am VERY THANKFUL to GOD as I know he answered my prayers!!
I am tired today but a good kind of tired!!!!
Love to you all and hugs and kisses too.....connnie d
Hi Vickie,
I started feeling better after I woke up, so I took Utley down to the city's Easter Egg Hunt, where my Munchkins were. It was my first big walk since my surgeries. He did great. The kids had fun. Saw a lot of folks from church. Kids got lots of eggs. Since they divided the kids by grade, I went with Lincoln, Trent had Franklin. Izzy's old enough so she went alone. Colleen was busy working. They made out great, plus they saw almost all their cousins. It's organized by my former church, and an artist does an Easter presentation with the kids, involving a game. After the hunt, they do drawing for big prizes, bikes for the big kids, scooters and bunnies for the preschoolers. Munchkins didn't win this year, nor since I moved here.
I will definitely take a picture of the cake. I definitely want to see your's.
Hugs,
Trish

Good morning Trish and my sistas!
Oh, Trish, I'm sorry you are sick. And on Easter weekend, too! Boo! Hope you feel better soon, hon.
Jeannie, I didn't get to respond the other day to the news about your dear hubby. I am praying that he does not have cancer again. I hope he will start to feel better soon, too. I understand what it means to have a desperately ill spouse.
I only have a minute here today. We are keeping the boys again this afternoon, and I need to get several things done before they arrive. Today we are dying eggs (already have them boiled) and making an Easter cake. So fun in the kitchen today!
Trish, my Easter cake is a single layer square, surrounding by Peeps bunnies, and topped with green coconut "grass" and jelly bean "eggs". I also have some chocolate "bugs" to go in the grass. The boys will love it! Take and post a picture of your cake, and I'll take a picture of mine, okay?
And tonight we have to get the boys' baskets ready and stuff the plastic eggs with candy for the Easter egg hunt tomorrow. I'm so glad my back yard is semi-finished and there are lots of places to hide eggs this year!
Okay, I've got to scoot, ala Trish! Love you all!

Good Morning OFF,
Vickie, great family picture.
I was sick as a dog yesterday. Urgent care put me on antibiotics and antinausea meds. Sinus infection, etc. Same old, same old.
I had hoped to take Utley to a doggy Easter Egg Hunt, but I'm still weak, and the pollen count is high.
I have a bunny cake to make for tomorrow. It's two layers with one cut with ears and a bow tie. I need more powder sugar, and have to check my food color. I also need to get some Easter M&Ms.
Must scoot.
Hugs,
Trish

Vic and Ladies,
Today, my older sister and her daughter in law with her four granddaughters and my granddaughter came up to go ice skating. I met them at the skating rink and the girls skated for hours. My sister and I sat and watched from the warm comfort of the balcony and we visited. Later we went to a Chinese restaurant and then on to the bakery so we could load up on bakery goods...they loaded, I salivated.
Now they have all gone back down the mountain and I am home watching movies. DH is so sick today and has thrown up every single thing he has tried to eat. I just made him a bowl of potato broth so we are keeping our fingers crossed that the medicine keeps it all down. He meets with the surgeon again on Tuesday and we will know the exact date and time of his surgery.
Vic, your family looks very nice...the grandkids are so cute.
I am going to take a nap before I start sewing. I have everything cut out and am going to do massive sewing...get it all put together and then Saturday evening and Sunday night, I do the hems etc.
Have a good weekend and rest ladies rest.
I am doing well as can be expected 2 weeks after getting upper dentures. I can eat some things, but the gums are still sore. Me who wanted perfect teeth, who had crown put on my teeth when I was in my mid twenties to correct a space in my front teeth. Can't help genetics as we get old. I do not like the way the temporaries look because there is a overbite between the top and bottom teeth. These are temporary dentures and I will get the permanent ones within six months. Because I told the dentist I will not wear these dentures to my daughter's wedding, he will make a second pair of temp dentures. Good.
My SIL wedding is Easter Sunday. She is the one who had bacterial meningitis. She still can't walk that far without getting tired. She was a ball of energy before, always going going going, but not now. It is going to be a long way back. At least she is alive. She has a nodule or spot on her lung and the doctors don't even want to touch it for fear of disturbing the bacteria that caused the meningitis in the first place. It will be a happy day for all of us attending her wedding.
Boy, am I going to start exercising. I don't like the way I look. My daughter's wedding is in six weeks. People I haven't seen in years are going to be there. Time to exercise and zip my mouth and eat right like Vicki is doing.
Love to all and a Blessed Easter.
Dear Yvonne,
I have missed a few days posting but hope you have a wonderful celebration tomorrow as you celebrate Easter. Take it easy cleaning.
Dearest Vicki,
What a beautiful photo of 4 generations of your family. Of course Ms. Caralee is fussing. My daughter fussed at that age unless she was being held. I had to rock her to sleep every night. For 2 hours I rocked and rocked. Memories.
I don't know what diet you are on, I skipped a day or two, but I need to go on one. My clothes are getting tighter and today I ate a doughnut. I don't even like doughnuts. I swore no more. But I don't like the way my clothes are starting to fit.
Your yard is going to look fantastic. What a green thumb you have. Plants hate me and die before I even touch them. Honestly. I have tried and tried. I had plants I took care of and followed directions regarding how to take care of them (indoor plants) and they died. Outdoor plants, we had hardy plants that didn't need much care. You are so talented.
Take care, dear and don't work too hard.
My dear,
Stop punishing yourself because you quit your job abruptly. I think our generation was taught to do things properly and if we didn't we paid for it by being guilt ridden.
No job, no job in the world is worth losing your health or dying over. Not one. So have a good time, take a few deep breaths, and look forward, not backward.
As I told you, I had a couple of doozy jobs that I wanted to take a contract out on my boss if I had connections. There were 2. Between the high stress of the job and the witch female bosses, I swear I was going to have a heart attack before I left. Both times the Lord up above took care of the situation. One I was laid off from and the other I quit.
Enjoy yourself before you get back into the daily grind.
Happy Easter Holiday if you celebrate it.
Hi Ladies,
I'm getting ready to go meet my SIL at her job to spend the weekend with my brother. We are having easter tomorrow. All the little ones will be there with their mom's and dad's. It should be fun. It supposed to be nice tomorrow so the easter egg hunt should go as planned. I'm doing better today. I got up at 9 am. Trying to do stuff around the house.
Everyone have a good day. Thoughts and prayers for everyone.
Love and hugs,
Yvonne
