Really easy recipe. Frozen lemonade concentrate, cool whip and sweetened condensed milk. Mix together and put in graham cracker pie crust. Light and refreshing dessert!

Patriots Day in Massachusetts is the day of the Boston marathon. Everyone used to have it as a holiday years ago, but now only businesses along the marathon route give their employees the day off. But it is school vacation week up there.
I was shocked to read that the Pope died this morning. I saw that he was able to give his Easter address yesterday. Must have been his time. I am not catholic but my DHs and children are so the only church I have stepped foot in for the last 50 years is the Catholic Church. And we had such a close relationship with the priest at the parish near where we lived for 20 years that I somewhat felt catholic. RIP Pope Francis.
"Linner" yesterday at the beach club was disappointing food-wise. It was really just a somewhat revised regular lunch menu with some breakfast items added. Weird at 3:00. The view and service were beautiful of course but we just had a fairly regular lunch.
This morning I see a new dentist here. This is the 2nd health professional I have moved to in Florida (the first was Justice's vet). I was supposed to have my teeth cleaned at my former dentist at Christmas time but they cancelled the appointment and couldn't fit me in while I was there (not the first time they had done that). So it makes sense to do it here from now on. I am keeping my summer doctor appointment up north, but need to work in getting a new PCP here as well as a dermatologist.
This afternoon our painting/handyman is coming to look at my master bath. I hope he has ideas on how to smooth out the sandy paint and mural.
Have a popping Patriots Day!

The joys of homeownership: there is always something that needs to be attended to.
I hope you are able to put that former friend's actions behind you soon. Being a board member is definitely not easy (and not for the faint of heart).

Your husband's people managing skills are awesome! Folks like him keep our idiotic, pathetic species from destroying itself. These days we need so many more of his ilk. You're a lucky woman.

Your DH as always is such a gem. I hope your parents recognize that too.
So little time left at work for you - must make it a bit easier to go on Mondays right now.

Our new home is on a corner lot with a pretty big front yard that hasn't been fertilized in a while. We have ambitions. ;-)

You really do look incredible in your FB pics. Just tell that body dysmorphia to go away!
Retirement when you and your partner are both healthy is definitely amazing. Like having a long vacation that doesn't end.

Good idea, CC. I'll try that.

Do you have a lot of land at your new place? Somehow in my head I was thinking not, but maybe that is just because I know how extensive your property was previously and anything would be smaller.

Such a long drive but nice that you spent the day with family. Lemonade pie? Never heard of it.
