Good Morning PA,
Sorry I failed to post yesterday. I'm having problems with my keyboard on my laptop has become tempermental, and sometimes I just give up and don't post at all.
I am loving life here in Michigan. I see my Munchkins several times a week. Yesterday, I took my first real walk with Utley, and stopped by my daughter's to say "Hi," to the kids. We took a 45 minute walk. Colleen's house is a ten minute walk, or two minute drive. Today, my new church is holding a huge Easter Egg Hunt for the whole community. A month ago, they informed the congregation they had over 1000 plastic eggs to fill. I bought twelve bags of candy for the youth group to fill the eggs with. The congregation donates the eggs and candy.
Tomorrow, my daughter is hosting a small, Easter dinner. It will be her family, her mother-in-law and father-in-law, and me. I'm making au gratin potatoes, sweet potatoes and a vegetable tray. I bought Isabel and Lincoln craft projects for us to work on with me. For Frankie, I bought some clothes. Lincoln's hand-me-downs are the wrong season, so I got him some short sleeve outfits the next size up.
I hope everyone has a blessed weekend, no matter what you celebrate.
Hugs,

Good Afternoon...
Glad to hear you are okay and on spring break....
I took yesterday and today off. Been non-stop cleaning and getting dust/dirt/construction debris out of the rooms that are sort of finished. The family room has not looked this nice in 3 almost 4 years...Can't believe it's been this long that our life has been turned upside down...
I am cooking Easter Dinner this year. Gene's family, my daughters, and some of the folks that helped us put this house back together are coming for dinner. Gene is worship leader @ church on Sunday so my wonderful youngest daughter and her hubby are coming over early Sunday to get all the fixins for dinner warming.
Gene and I have to go out into the shed today, after he sees a couple clients to find my serving spoons/forks, etc and to bring in some more folding chairs.. I believe we'll be having about 20-25 people for dinner...today I need to start baking and tomorrow get the dinner going to get into the servicing trays for the warming trays...
sometime today I have to run out to the store to pick up some things I forgot yesterday...no matter how many lists I write I still manage to forget something.
Hope you enjoy your time off and relax...
Everyone have a wonderful holiday for those that celebrate..

Hey Beth!
Glad to see that you are on spring break. Hope that you have a relaxing and productive time off. Today I am going to Good Friday services at 3:00 and just running some errands. Keep your fingers crossed - things are looking good for a possible job at my old school - for a secretary's position. The money isn't great but it does come with benefits and it would be less stressful than being in the classroom. After 2 years of being unemployed I would just be grateful for a job!
Hope that I see you at the first Saturday meeting at Barix. Miss you lots. Take care.

Hey Donna,
We are doing ok, just super busy!! This is my first day of spring break and I finally have a moment to post! Thanks for thinking of me....I am going to try to post more!
We had a little issue with Steven's car but we are hopeful that it will be taken care of. Apparently it was a recall that we were never notified of...
Last weekend we were at my friends wedding. It was beautiful!! Looks like she found a GREAT guy!! She is a bariatric success story!
Love, Beth

Hi Donna and PA,
Sorry I missed this post on Monday. I was crazy busy at my daughters from 3:00 till 10:00 pm, babysitting the crew. I'm enjoying being here, watching the Munchkins as much as necessary.
Today, I'm just hanging out, studying for my Bible study tonight.
Hugs,
Trish

Good day PA!
Did someone say that spring began the other day? Just sitting here looking out my window at the spring snow falling. Nothing surprises me anymore about the weather. Any way Happy Passover to those out there who celebrate (the Jew Crew). And speaking of the Jew Crew - Beth V. and Lisa Hunt have both been on my mind recently. Hoping that all is well with both of them and their families. As you all know for at least 2 years I was a super lurker on this board and just read about other people's lives. While that wasn't the best way to utilize the board I did feel connected in some way to people who I was lucky enough to meet through cooking class or Barix. It took me a long time to become active here and I am glad that I have. Enough about me. Nothing much happening here today. Hope that all of you got to work safely and also arrive home that way. Have a good day everyone. Take care.
Donna
