Spring?

We are dog sitting while my Grand and family are on spring break. We tired her out with walks and being outside with us while raking.

We went to a fund raiser for a very young fire chief who is fighting cancer. Husband made the firetruck and put it up for silent auction. This is the guy who had the winning bid of 630.00. Husband was so pleased he could help raise some money. (Husband on left)

The geraniums are coming to life I finally put them in soil. 

Fedx delivered a box and as he handed it to me he said "I had him as my teacher in school in the 80s."Lol yes husband was a teacher you never know when a former student will show up.

Vertigo is better thanks for all the suggestions. 

The next eye is May 5th.

I hope to be better prepared. 

Vertigo Ugg

The Cataract surgery went perfectly. 

But I got vertigo and I did not handle my autoimmune addisons very well. So it was a little scary for awhile. 

And because of vertigo I wasn't on line much at all. 

Thank you for all your wonderful encouragement. The next eye is May 5th. 

Baking Fail

I went to spend a couple of days with my sweet grand while her parents got to play.

 

Like any good bargain hunter I thrifted on the way there. New Clark brand boots. So vintage looking. I will happily tuck them away for next winter. 

A Lily Pulitzer dress for my daughter. I also got a couple of pieces of clothing for myself and some tapered candles to burn this summer on the porch.

My sweet Grand and I treated ourselves to a very luxurious foot soak and dinner out. I purchased this mug at the spa (they sell a lot of teas.) 

I also did something I have never done before. While my grand was in school. I parked my car at one end of town and walked down to a little resturant and sat by myself and had breakfast! I then shopped at the little shops on the walk back. 

I decided to make a morning glory quick bread. Lots of ingredients and then while washing up....

Two chips in my mixing bowl ugg! Where did the chips go in the bread? So out it went. 

I had all of these farm fresh eggs....

So I made a custard pie.

I am having Cataract surgery on Tuesday. I was doing OK but now I am a little freaked out. So good thoughts please.

   Have a wonderful week.

Keeping The Faith

Yesterday's weather! Because the ground had warmed up the roads mostly were not bad. Some parts of the state had some accidents. I was able to go play mahjong with a great group of ladies.

And this is 24 hours later! Welcome to N.H. It is 40s and I got a walk in finally. 

I also got my geraniums out and into water for a good soak before I put them in a pot for the season. 

        Thanks for the visit.

The Big Clean Up

 I did the lamb cake for the first time this year. Not bad, not bad, except I did not put enough frosting under him to anchor him, and he slowly leaned backwards lol. But he was tasty and everyone like him. 

I forgot to take these out for everyone to try. Too bad husband and I will have to eat them and yes, they taste just like coffee!

I went out early Sat morning for a just a few things and the local grocery store was marking everything Easter 1/2 price! I grabbed something for my husband and wished I had waited to buy the candy for the kids because there was a lot still there to purchase. 

We had 23 in attendance kids and adults, and it was raining!! But we made the best of it and got through it. 

A couple of weeks ago I met up with my sweet friend Donna, and she gave me this pottery candle/incense holder. It is so pretty.

I have been painting a bit when I am not too busy. 

And today on my way out of yoga, I stopped at the little thrift store. I purchased these threads that are 100 percent wool for 7.00. I do plan on sharing with my grand and sweet friends so hopefully it will get used. 

*****

It is a very blustery day today, but I need to get walking more. I am praying for good weather soon!

Have a wonderful week!

P.S. Thank you for all the well wishes you truly are the best. I am much better I think in the next day or so I will be 100 percent (almost there)

Head Cold

I have a bad head cold. Because of other issues I can not take coldmeds. So a heated eye mask is my friend. I tried a Netti pot my ears squeeked every time I blew my nose. I hope by tomorrow it is much better.

Happy Easter everyone♡

Getting Ready

Welcome!

I have been busy decorating and making lists for Easter. I thought a coffee would be a nice break.

A tree decorated with some of my Grands eggs she has colored over the years.

And a couple of very funny ones on the window sill.

I have shown my sock bunny before. When we were first married my husband went away for a week to work on a friend's house that had burned. And he brought home this♡

A vintage decoration.

And I bought this thrifting in the past few months I have been busy watching you-tube videos on just how to do this. Wish me luck!

       *************

We went to my step dads funeral. There was a nice turn out of family and long time friends. May he rest in peace.

    ***************

I played Mahjong games on my own. We played 4 games and I won 2 and was waiting for 1 tile in one game. I am really enjoying it and have met some lovely people. 

  ***************

Busy week ahead. I need to shop, organize our egg hunt, and fill my grands easter basket to the brim!

Have a great week!
