Hi DD.
Sounds like you had a nice Easter. That was really nice of Hallie to bring you food. Your meals sound really good. Only one of my daughters with her family came here for Easter. We had the little great grand kids here so that was fun. It rained here so we had to have the Easter egg hunt in the house. Grayson enjoyed it.
I hope that Snowball liked getting her hair cut. Hope that she did not hide all day after getting it done. She is such a pretty cat I hope that you can post her picture.
I like all the pictures that you post. That is really cute picture of the dog and all the little chicks. The way he has his paw is wrapped around the little ones it looks like he is protecting them. That is just so cute. I would love to have a field of tulips like that. I do not have any right now. I need to plant some.
I hope that your weather stays nice. We are supposed to get more rain this coming week-end so it will not be that nice to do things. I wish we could just have a week of nice weather and the sun would shine. We have not had any snow like you and Gail had. Hope that is all either of you get for the rest of the spring.
That is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
That is so cute all the little bunnies. It is not good that they are eating your Hosta. You can’t plant anymore not knowing if there will be more rabbits or not. It is a shame that you cannot move them somewhere else. Bunnies are so cute. Deer are really pretty until the eat my roses.
The things that you baked for Bobbies birthday look really good. How nice the kids came for his birthday. How is Steph doing? I guess she could not come over. I hope she is doing better.
That is good news that Tillie ate all of the soup. That is really good. The home where she is staying sounds like a really nice place. It was nice that they got the food for her and she ate that good. Hopefully this is a good sign.
I do not do layer cakes anymore. I usually cannot get the second layer to stay in place it slides off. If I want layer cake I have to buy one. It is always nice to get take out. We had steaks for dinner it was just me and Ron so we did not fix much.
I hope your week-end goes well and the kids will come back to visit. It is nice to have the kids over. Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
It got really warm here today. It was in the 80’s. We did not turn the air on though we are going to stick it out till it gets hot and stays hot. It is supposed to be warm until Monday and then drop back down to the sixties. I do not like these big temperature drops. It has been really windy and that messes with every ones allergies. If it is not one thing it is another.
How is Tillie doing? Hope she ate her Easter dinner. I will continue to pray for her. Sounds like you had a good Easter. I cannot get over how tall Santino is. He is going to be a really tall boy. Poor Grayson is going to be a short stocky kid. It will be interesting to see if Nova is going to be short or tall.
Ethan is with his other Grandma this week-end. So we get a break and maybe can get some things done here. It is hard to do anything with him in the house. It is not that he gets in the way it is just if I start doing something in the kitchen then he has to be in the kitchen. He is just a typical kid.
That is a shame that the bunnies are eating your Hosta. We have had three deer that are hanging out in our yard. I did not think they would come up in the yard because of the dogs. They have been eating the leaves off our fruit trees. They will eat the roses when they start blooming. We will have to wait and see what happens to the trees they have been eating on.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail and Adele,
We had a great time Easter. Grayson was so funny. He had fun hunting the eggs and put them in his basket. He got tired of hunting them and just sat down. He was the only one this year. Aliza had to go to her other grandma’s this year. We have a rabbit for her here will give it to her later. That is funny that Santino called the bunny scary bunny. You never know how kids will react to the bunny or Santa.
I am glad that you found a place to have brunch this year. I bet you had a nice time. It was nice that the kids went with you and did not have to spend the time with their dad. Owen had to stay with his dad this year so that is why they went to Kevin’s family Easter.
Adele your desserts always look so good. It is a shame that we cannot grab thru the screen and take a bite. You always make such good cookies and cakes. We had that rainbow cake that David’s cookies make. It is so big and the kids all like it. They all took food home with them also. They took a lot of the cake so that was good.
Gail, I cannot believe that you had snow the day after Easter. The weather this year is so different. It is warm one day and the next it is really cold. It has been like that here also. We have had rain been lucky and have not had any more snow. We had snow on Easter so we should have rain the next 7 Sunday’s. I sure hope that is wrong.
We did not put our Easter things out this year. We have had so much going on here. I never knew that taking teenage kids in the house. Kids sure are different then they use to be. Ethan does not like doing anything. At least Owen and Aliza still like to go outside and play ball and things like that. Ethan will go out for awhile and then he wats to go back inside and get on the internet.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
It is sad that you will not have Tillie home for Easter. Maybe she will get thru this. I wish I could magically change all of for you. I know how you feel it is rough. She will enjoy the food that you send her. Maybe she will eat that and enjoy it. I pray every night for you and Tillie.
You will have a house full there for Easter. That should make it easier for you. Your little one will make your day brighter. Just enjoy your time with him and be glad that you have him there. I cannot wait to have all the kids here for Easter. We will have Grayson and he will be so cute. Nova will not enjoy the day as much as. She will be really cute though. She is getting really chubby though. She is just really cute.
You have a great day and stay safe. Try to think of something really happy to get thru Easter.

Hi Adele,
Sounds like you have a nice Easter planned. We are having Easter here this year. Mandy and her family will be here. Kylie is going to stay the night Saturday before Easter. She is going to help me fix Easter dinner. She helped me last year also. Danyielle is not sure if they will come here or not. It is the year she usually goes to Kevin’s family but they are not sure if they are going to do anything this year. We will have to wait and see what she decides.
That is nice that you are going to bake all those cookies and send them to the place where Tillie is staying. They will like that. Tillie will enjoy the dinner you send her.
How is Tillie doing? I hope she is doing better. Is she sitting up more now? I hope she is and she is walking more. That will be great if she is. It is a shame that she will not be with you. I am glad the the kids will all be there. Especially Santino at his age will be a lot of fun to watch. Grayson will be here so we will hide eggs for him to hunt. He had a really good time last year.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Sounds like you had a good visit with Brent and his girlfriend. Did you get to do a lot with Jenny and the kids? It must have been fun for the kids to see their Uncle Brent. It is nice that Brent got to meet up with his dad and you got to meet him also. Glad that it went well.
It is cold here at night and warmer during the day. We have been getting a lot of rain and it is usually at night. So it makes it nice to see some sun during the day.
That is hard to pass up a chocolate shop. It is nice to find a place where they sell sugar free candy. They do not sell very many sugar free items anymore. I use to be able to get pies and cakes and all kinds of things but now it is really hard to find it. I love the sugar free pecan pies they are really good but cannot get them any longer.
Wow that is cool that your sister won in the dance contest. She must be a really good dancer. Do you ever go and watch her compete? That would be fun to watch. Have you been watching the masked singer? It is really good. It always surprises me when we find out who is under the mask. Tonight they unmasked Penn and Teller. I would never have guessed it was them.
That will be fun if Brent gets to come back this summer. That was nice that Brent got more of his things. That was also nice of you to give his girlfriend all that photo stuff. Sound like you had enough to keep her busy.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
That is good that they have Tillie sitting in a recliner. She may start sitting for longer periods of time. Does she have a tv in her room? Sometimes that helps too. She can watch her favorite programs or just have control over something. It will also seem like home. You can take decorations to her room to make her feel more at home.
I hope that your ulcer is better. It i really hard when your stomach hurt like that. Just take care of yourself and try not to worry about your mom too much. She will adjust or she will start to fight to go home and be with the family. Please just take care of yourself. Everything will work out.
Luv Ya Colleen
