ENGLISH STUDENTS GET IT WRONG......
1.  ZANZIBAR IS NOTED FOR ITS MONKEYS.  THE BRITISH GOVERNOR LIVES THERE.
2.  THE PURITANS THOUGHT EVERY EVENT SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IT WAS A MASSAGE FROM GOD.

YIPPEE, THE SUN IS SHINING TODAY.  THEN RAIN AGAIN TOMORROW.  BUT I WILL ENJOY THE SUN WHILE I CAN.  TEMPS IN THE 40S TODAY.

I ENJOYED MY BIRTHDAY.  THANK YOU LADIES FOR THE GOOD WISHES YOU SENT ALONG.  I FELT THEM.
MY DAU AND GRDAU G CAME OVER.  THEY BROUGHT ME A WONDERFUL SNUGGLER BLANKET OF SNOOPY AND A SNOOPY SOUP CUP ALONG WITH SOME PEEPS, A MYSTERY BOOK TO READ AND CASH.  I LOVED THEM ALL.  ESPECIALLY THE SNOOPY ITEMS.  
I DID NOT PUT PEEPS ON MY GROCERY LIST FOR TODAY BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE TOO EXPENSIVE, SO IT WAS NICE TO GET A COUPLE OF PACKAGES.  I SNACKED ON SOME LAST NITE.
AS FOR MY WEIGHT, ITS UP AS WAS EXPECTED.  I WILL WORRY ABOUT THAT STARTING MONDAY WHEN I GET BACK ON MY SCHEDULE.  LAZING ABOUT HAS NOT HELPED BUT ITS SURE BEEN FUN.
I ALSO GOT MY LAB RESULTS BACK AND ALL MY NUMBERS ARE IN THE SAFE ZONES SO NO MORE LABS FOR A YEAR.  ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR ESPECIALLY ON BIRTHDAY WEEK.

I WISH YOU ALL A GOOD DAY.  I AM STILL ON NO-CHORES DAYS BUT LUCKILY I STILL WASH MY DISHES.  I WOULD HATE THOSE TO PILE UP ON ME.  
STAY SAFE.  ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND AND EASTER.  HUGS, QB S

It's raining, gently, here, after storming in the night.  I  was headed out for my laps in the driveway, but  the rain halted that.  Maybe later.

QB, Glad you had a nice birthday visit from your DD & DGD, and got some nice and welcome gifts to enjoy.   I didn't even see any Peeps when we shopped.  Didn't look for them either, tho.  I love them very soft and fresh.  Stepson, David wanted them slightly stale.  Some weird trivia I remember since he hasn't lived with us since 1991.  

ML came yesterday and we sorted and culled some of my myriad books.  I was aghast at how many non-fiction books I had only read part of and quit, at least according to where the bookmarks were in them.  She said there are no book police and that that was okay.  We had a couple of skirmishes as we were both a bit crabby and it's difficult for me to keep the goal in mind--not just organize, keep and store, but  get things out of here that need to go. 
She's stopping by here today on her way home from town to pick up the cheesecake slices I have for  them and forgot to give her, yesterday.    H & J do not need to eat them all ourselves!    

Carol, oh joy for you going to Amsterdam.  That was our 1st stop when we went to Holland in 1990.  We, then,  went on to Friesland to hopefully, meet some of our family, which we did.  I guess maybe the tulips will be in bloom at the big flower market, can't remember it's name.  Have a wonderful time and I wish you journeying mercies.  

Howard's out in the garage fiddling with the small generator.  Neither of them will start and I don't hear anything, so...?  His trip to the VA yesterday was in vain as at noon an announcement was made that the person he was to see, had an emergency at his home and wasn't going to be there.  So, H. popped in long before I expected him. 

Since we're not getting together with the kids, I can't figure out if I want to fix our Easter dinner tonight or wait until tomorrow.   It's just a ham slice and baked sweet potatoes and cauliflower and...cheesecake, nothing special.  If I ask him, he'll just say, 'Whatever you want.'

Have a good Saturday and Happy Easter, tomorrow.
Indy
 

Devonne, no rag quilts yet. I made Heather a reversible apron with criss cross straps, I just finished it. I have fabric picked out for Manda and Steph for aprons. 

It’s 80 and sunny, so windows open. We’re going to Heather’s for brunch tomorrow. I’m taking overnight blueberry French toast, and a spinach salad with fruit. 

Sandra, sounds like your birthday week was very nice! 

SANDRA I am so sorry I missed your birthday!! I am happy you had some good things happening -  buddies and a day of just doing what you want, as well as family  Happiest of birthdays dear friend!

Computer problems, well actually the darn router, finally found the cause LO but we had no computer most of the day.

CAROL Happy Birthday to Glen too !! I did remember they shared a day. Enjoy Amsterdam, I keep meaning to find out if the chinese restaurant on the water is still there - that was pretty nice food.

JANET hope DH is feeling better, I find mine is a bit of a pain with sickness too, his cold is the worst 'flu ever LOL I just give him hot tea and meds and try to keep out of the way!!

INDY sounds like a good idea to catch uo late, we are too with M & G and the boys, although we had dinner with John last 2 nights. The others are camping, M came back yesterday for the afternoon and night she was attending Ella's ceremonies, she became a Catholic and M was her sponsor, she recommended Ella for a teaching job in one of the schools she regularly visits, Ella is very appreciative and is doing well.

DEVONNE that is a really good price for service, I am lucky to get out at around $300 or so, mostly ore, and my car is ld now, but I still go to the dealer, it paid off when I had a problem, they replaced a half motor for free and it was out of warranty well and truly. 

HOLLY I rarely wear aprons, but I like the ones like that (bib ones I call them) , the tie around your waist seems to be useless to me, I make a mess ALL over my clothes LOL

It's cool and dreary here today, I have warmer clothes on, but supposed to be hot again by Tuesday. 
It's Gary's 80th next week and the girls want us to come to dinner to celebrate. He doesn't know we will be there. 
Sis-IL is not doing well, her readings are still very high, however she is still getting around and no complaints. She seems to be the same, so we don't really understand what's happening, her Dr has been contacted - again - and we will wait on her opinion, she is still not eating anything, drinks some hot tea and will eat some custard. That is all, plus the nutrition drink we have supplied for many years, think that is all that is sustaining her.

I did a load of washing - it won't dry though LOL and I did eat a small chocolate bunny.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!
