Devonne, I watched either 20/20 or Dateline about Ruby Franke.  How horrible for those kids.  The husband seemed very confused also.  I think the major problem was that therapist, Jodi Hildebrand.  Pure evil.

It was a cool but sunny day today.  I am hoping that Easter Sunday is nice as Amelia and Andrew still want to hunt eggs!  Amelia is 10 and Andrew is 12 but they love to find those treasures.  I had donated all of the plastic eggs last year as I thought it was the last year so I had to go to the Dollar Tree and get some to fill.  My son, Anthony, and his family will come up for Easter, but they always spend the day with Emmily's mom and dad.   I am thawing a whole turkey in the refrigerator to make for Easter dinner.  Aaron and his family will be here but I hope Anthony comes over after lunch/dinner to let Andrew  hunt eggs.

Such awful news about the Baltimore Bridge.  At least the barge radioed about the power loss and that they could hit the bridge.  The car traffic was stopped.  I am so saddened by the loss of the workers, but it sure could have been more if cars were on there.

Devonne, YIKES on that bridge.  They make me nervous and I don't think I could go over it either.

Judy, I do agree that it is better to know of any cardiac issues before they cause a problem, but I still don't like going.  My mom's side of the family all had heart disease and she lived the longest at 67, so I am glad the doc wanted me to have that test.  She said it was 5 minutes and could save a life.  I go April 2 for a consult with a cardiologist.  I picked a woman because I think they listen to other women better than a man.  (Just my opinion.)

Yesterday was Aaron's 40th birthday.  He is my baby, so how did he get so old?    We went to Texas Roadhouse (his favorite) for supper and I baked him some Texas Sheetcake Cookies.  He does not care for cake but loves those cookies.

Nothing else going on here.  A lot of anticipation for the solar eclipse coming soon since we are in the path of totality.

THERESA he has no clue does he? I am sorry for him really, he will have regrets, and it will be you that bears the brunt of it ((((hugs)))) great idea to wean yourself away from constant visits, once a day is more than enough.

SANDRA I did my shop online too, so much easier than braving the stores, I did have to go to pick up the Znoud el sit, so delicious, and the parking was dreadful, honestly people - shops are only closed for one day!!
I also had to go to the bank there, more on that later!

DEVONNE my gosh, I would hate to go over that bridge, it looks scary! Mostly heights don't bother me, we did the walk in Canada ( near Vancouver ) forget what it's called - W was scared, one walk went around the mountain, the 'bridge' type track set out from the side, it was fantastic.

HOLLY she's a funny one! Sounds like John when he's in the mood.

CHERYL I hope the eclipse is good viewing, last times we had one it was totally overcast LOL

BJ sounds like a beautiful day, we are having one too. I think our temps are similar to yours today, although it will get a lot warmer as the day goes on .

We had a bit of drama here, a strange charge was showing on our credit card, no money, just a hold charge, of course it happened around dinner time on Wed night, spent 45 mins waiting for someone to talk to, and they advised we should cancel the account and did so for us, it's a pain to have to go through and change all the monthly accounts we have.
We won't get new cards for 5-10 business days, AND it's Easter, so they might take a while.
Then today realised our automatic toll wasn't paid - because of the card - so found a way to connect it to our bank account. PLUS my training payment  is due out on Sunday, hopefully I have changed that out as well, but I told them at training what happened, so they are aware, if it doesn't get taken out there will be a bank charge, so I will need to pay that.
I had to go get $$ from the bank, just in case we need cash extra. 
I am more annoyed that I bought a raincoat from a company, and they have a sale on, AND gave me a $20 voucher, and I can't buy more till I get  a new card LOL

The bank said it is possible that it's a mistake from someone, and the pending could drop off -  but they won't take chances, and if I didn't do as they wanted we would be liable for any fraud transactions, it was a new charge to see for them as well. Something about Google, and payhelp - we don't use google for any payments.
Wretched scammers, so many people getting caught out these days. You have to be so careful  -- I check our cards/accounts every day at least twice.

Tonight is Good Friday dinner, we are going to the club, John will come with us, and Pete as well.

I went to stay with the dogs last while John was at work, I drove him there and picked him up. The stores were jam packed when he started, so I am glad I did, he would have found parking difficult. The dogs were glad of company too - of course when I picked John up I was only gone 10-15 minutes, you'd think they had been left alone for days they way they greeted us LOL

Good Morning to everyone!!  It is a beautiful day, 45*, the sun is shining bright!  I don't have any plans for the day, not much ambition.  It is 8:30, so I should get something done before the day is over, but probably won't!!  Just took Frank his coffee, likely the only thing I'll accomplish today!!  Likely Tracy will be here this evening; that will be nice!!  Love it when she comes.  Jamie will be coming, too.  Not sure about the girls; they may have to work.

Well, I really don't have anything else to say this morning, so will just sign off, wishing you all well, BJ. 

AFTERNOON!

VERY WINDY HERE TODAY. PHONE READS 67 DEGREES, SO AT LEAST YEMP IS MILD.

BARBARA IS HAVING HER FAMILY DINNER TOMORROW EVENING. SOME FAMILY NEEDS TO RETURN TO OHIO RIGHT AFTER CHURCH SERVICES.

THINKING OF EVERYONE. PRAYERS...........

Oh, Trish, so sorry for the credit issues.  Such a pain to have to deal with, for sure.  Last year I went to use my card at a Target department store and it was declined.  I never had that before so I tried it again.  Of course, people behind me where rolling their eyes! lol.  I had to use  a different one and came home to call the bank.  It had a "hold" put on it for suspected fraudulent use.  It sure would have been nice if they had notified us before I tried to use it.  I guess I should be happy that the bank had suspected fraud, but I was still irritated.

Beautiful spring day today.  Dean and I cleaned the flower beds of the leaves.  I hate to do it too much because some bees sleep in the decaying leaves, but the leaves look so bad.  We just took them and dumped them in the empty lot beside us.  If any bees were there, hopefully they are OK.  My neighbor owns the lot and said we could dump our leaves there if we wanted.  It is not buildable due to a water table or some such restriction so he just dumps his tree branches and leaves on it.  He owns a house across the road from it and it has been empty for all the years we have lived here (25 this year) and he stores junk cars, a camper and stuff there.  He lives in a different town.    Some of the neighbors have complained but he put up to date license plates on the cars and camper, so there is nothing they can do about it.  

In regards to the solar eclipse, it will most likely be overcast here too.  The weather guessers are saying historically on April 8, NE Ohio is cloudy.  But we will still see the darkness.

Good Morning, I will be brief as I have a houseful of company.  Tracy and Jamie came last evening.  The girls will be here sometime today.  That will make a nice Easter.  It is completely still outside, very blue sky.  It is a beautiful day.

Well, will sign off, so I can visit with my company.  Have a wonderful day everyone.  Love, BJ.

Devonne, It’s called the credit score because it’s a reflection as to how you handle credit, so if you don’t use credit, they can’t rate it. I use my credit cards a lot, even pay the utility bills and groceries with them. That way I get the points and/ or cash back. Since I pay off the cards every month, and pay no interest, I actually make money by doing that, and I have a great credit score. 

Funny for the day. Brother John won’t put his credit card number online, and won’t give it over the phone, but when he suddenly needed something for his PT that was available from Amazon, he called me to order it and have it sent to his house, and he’ll send me a check. So he’s fine with me putting my info out there! I got off the phone and laughed. I’ve to,d him several times that mom had her card also linked to my Amazon acct so I could order things for her, and he was horrified. He lives in a different world.

We went and got gas, and got chick filet for lunch. It’s sunny but chilly.

I got the rose bushes trimmed. Two of my hybrid tea rose bushes are half dead. Hope they survive.

No plans for Easter. If anyone comes, it will be Greg. He doesn't have Carter for Spring break, which includes Easter. A day of rest and movies will be just fine.

I used to have really bad menstrual cramps when I was in HS. I remember my Mom gave me something she called "Paragort" to help with the cramps. I remember it always put me to sleep. I didn't know it was morpheine! 

I guess this is the same stuff she called Paragort. All I remember is that it worked miracles, lol!
