Greetings Fun Ones

Well Liz I am grateful that someone is up early to start this for us all. Works for me. Then when I get up (at my fashionably late hour) there is fun stuff to read!

146 today. Down a half no doubt due to active gallery circle walking. At least I had something to do with starting duties in making bank deposits and keeping track of gallery dues. Gonna have to get proficient with our scanner.

DH has caught my cold. He is not very good at being sick (moans and groans) but I will baby and indulge him.

The nephew and his bride are laughing their way through Europe and posting loads of pictures. So glad they are sharing their joy on their trip. They are a good match and I love hearing what they are up to. Its so great to have extended family especially since we have no kids except the furry ones.

Thinking of Devon. Hug your pups everyone. Does anyone have a cat? Hug it too.

Hmm Cecily I hear you on de-junking and the refrigerator bottles. Why do I have bottles of sweet and sour sauce from 2007? Plus mysterious food showed up from our house sitter.

Hey Ann, there is this thing that is a solar battery maintainer that you put on the dashboard and plug in to the car and it keeps an older battery up. We had one for our old SUV that wasn't driven often and it worked well. Of course, the battery finally died and we had to replace it. Still it might be a good thing for winter months. Thanks for sharing the bible verse. We need to be reminded of such thoughts and the promise of each day.

BB, good on you for getting Becca out and about. Might as well get to it. I think even tiny babies learn from all experiences but what do I know. You are a great mom and your weight will drop off soon enough.

There is not much I have to do today - grocery shop for Easter and check up stuff at the studio. However there is much I SHOULD do like toss junk, organize papers and gallery stuff and so forth. But first, more coffee. Diane S

Hello all ! Cecily...I second your refrigerator bottle downsizing efforts ! Personally, I began my reduction/elimination plan tonight, creating marinate for chicken thighs I'll BBQ. The remainder of a bottle of teriyaki sauce, the same of Asian sesame dressing, some sesame seeds and fresh ginger. Voila ! Where do all of these bottles come from ?

Planning a hilly hike for tomorrow, prior to a lamb encore. I have to laugh, my brother posted a picture on Facebook of the four of us dressed for Easter as kids. My girls received books, art supplies, and games in their Easter baskets until my oldest started school and our Easter bunny was thrown under the bus ! I've almost made it past this year's jelly Bean pushers !
