Welcome all. A new CH for the new season.

Looks good, Tina.

Good afternoon. We went to Church and to eat at my SIL' s mother's s house this morning.
I am now washing clothes and back working on my pictures....

Sleep well, see you all tomorrow

Sweet dreams, Carol. I hope Sunny is able to avoid the snowflakes.

I wish

It stormed all weekend. GB only went home last night...much to his pleasure.

My snow is down to about 8 ft everywhere except for a few pushed up banks that are about 12 ft high. The kids were 'tight rope' walking on the clothesline yesterday

How fun, Sunny.

Good Morning.

I would have liked to see the kids play that. It makes me smile to think of it.

Overcast here today. But still I know spring is here. Now to hope we do not get snow in April. Yesterday my DD said it had happened. But the frost date here is April 16 th.

Now to find out about the hummingbird return.

Mopped myself into a corner for a few.

I can't imagine all the things a person could grow there with that long season Junie.

The teacher send the kids home with a recorder/flute to learn to read music...it is going to be a long few months

Our third grades get the recorders also. Maybe GG is a musical genius!

My youngest got a recorder in grade school as well. But I did not ever hear her play it.

Yes one can grow a lot here but my yard is situated such that I will only get to p!any some herbs and tomatoes. This year will be spent killing grass and prepping an area for flowers and my few veggies. To that end my SIL gave me a few bags that one hangs on a fence to plant a tomato 🍅 plant in. There is another for peppers but I may plant something else in it instead.

Dropping in to say goodnight. Sleep well!

Tina, Grade 3 gets them here as well...she payed it for over an hour

I fell outside on the ice...and hit the ground so hard that I peed my pants. I am officially old

Well, at least you did not break anything, Sunny. For that I am grateful.
Just an FYI: none of us are getting any younger......

I know but the peeing myself really showed me that I am

My arm is still aching though.

Morning all,

We are home and just finished paying bills for the end of the month, now should file stuff but I just hate doing that.. have a whole pile of stuff to file...LOL! Hubby went to stores to buy stuff we are out of, it's supposed to hit 80* here today, have doors open to air out house, going to wash bedding today too.. hang it outside to get that airdried smell.. Really glad I cleaned the house before we left now I can just do smaller stuff that needs doing.. love the visiting but sure tired me out .


Well got to go and get stuff done, maybe file even who knows?

Nana

Glad you enjoyed your trip, Nana. I agree, to leave with the house clean is a good thing, that way you can rest when you get home. 80* wow, already ??

Sunny, sounds to me as if you fell in your stomach and smashed your bladder. It happens.
I hope your arm feels better soon.

Filling out our taxes today....I just spent the last hour sorting paperwork for it.

Your weather sounds lovely Nana.

Taxes. We took ours to a new CPA here in MO. He said we did not have to file.I do hope he is right. It would make more sense for us to file and not have to pay in but oh well.

I think I'd find another tax service, Carol. You sold a home and bought a new one last year. And officially retired. It sounds like it could become a quagmire in a hurry if there is a problem.

Yep I think you are right. However, this CPA is my son in law's Uncle.

Going to sleep now. Drs. Appt tomorrow.

Sweet Dreams ! Nite nite !

Sweet dreams, Carol.

I agree, here you have to file even if you have no income. I have to file with $0.00 on every line.

I went to the dentist yesterday...I wanted to get in my cleaning, exams and a filling before we have no coverage in two weeks.

Will your DH be finished with his seasonal job then, Sunny? Does he have a summer job set up yet?

Back from seeing my new Cardiologist. All is well...I am happy.

I am happy also, Carol. Have you been able to find doctors and a church close to you now? Any stores and such that you feel comfortable driving to?

We will join my daughter's church. It would not be my first choice, but it would be hard if we chose a different, smaller church.

I changed my primary care Dr. And my cardiologist. I kept my Gyno and my bone Dr.

I can drive to Wal-Mart, Kohl's, Target and a strip mall Target is in. I also think there is an easier way for me to use to get to the regular mall. So I am good with stores. Thanks for asking.

Tina, DH will be off work at any notice in April. The longer the weather lasts, the longer he stays. It is calling for now tonight as a matter of fact. He has been trying to set up Summer work but it is a fight to get any work here. Most times he fills in for men who want time off from their jobs for vacations and such.

Great news on the cardiologist Junie.

I have to pick up GB in a few hrs for his sleepover, he had a b-day party to attend today for one of his 'tay care friends'.

Thanks Sunny. I am pleased as well.

Valarie and I went shopping today. I took in 2 of my rings to get fixed, so I could wear them.

I will still need to take in my wedding rings in to be to be fixed, but that will be a job for another day.

Good night sleep tight.

What work are you getting done on the rings? I need to get my wedding rings expanded....I can't even get them off my finger. They'd have to cut them off first.

I picked up GB...he now has red cheeks, a runny nose and a cough. It matches my GG who woke up with a fever and her head in a bucket....it never ends.

My rings.....one lost a tiny diamond. And so if course I need the rest of the tiny diamonds checked. Then my MIL's diamond needs to be made larger as well. I will be wearing it on my index finger. When I recover from having that done, I will have my wedding set made larger....

The sickness never ends here either. I am currently working on getting the kids current cold...oh well.

Stay well, ladies. It sounds rough out there.

Thanks so much, Tina. My DH thinks/hopes it is allergies.
I hope he is right.

Yes, it is allergy season in all the nation. Sweet dreams all.

Tins, I hope both you and he are right.

Sweet Dreams everyone. Sleep well.

Well, GB is gone home with pink cheeks so I'll await the call. GG was sick all day and night and has a high fever this a.m. again. The school bus only had one child on it this morning when it passed here(there should have been about 14) so I am assuming it is was taken home by a few.

It reached 50* here yesterday, it was beautiful but it went from the 20's to 50's so fast that I have it flooded out my woodshed. I'll now have the bottom two layers of wood encased in ice in my rows. The water seeped into DH's shed but thankfully we poured a floor higher than the water level so it was just a trickle. DH says that it is time to do the wood shed as well this year. The weather gets stranger every year.

Illness is not a funny April Fools joke, Sunny. I hope the kids get over it soon.

Thanks Tina.

I have a strange story to tell you. My mother called yesterday to tell me my 49 yr old cousin passed away. We were not close at all but I told her I'd go visit my Uncle(his father). I got a call today to tell me that the cousin died on vacation in Cuba(his girlfriend found him dead in the bed in the morning)...and by the time they are done, it is going to cost my Uncle $40,000 to bring him home. Does that make any sense?

That seems a lot of money, Sunny. I don't know what else to say. Was your cousin a vet? I know it makes a difference in the states. Did he purchase any kind of travel insurances?
I have a policy that will pay for travel for my body from anywhere in the world. It included my minor children at the time also. I don't travel anymore and if it wasn't fully paid for, I would let it lapse.
