Hi Everyone,
Sue, I love split pea soup. I never make it though because Greg doesn’t like it. My Mom always used to make it after Easter with the ham bone.
We are getting annoying calls again since the first of the year. I have a phone where i can block the numbers but then they just call from a different number. They always seem to call when I want to take a nap. Did the doctor say what was wrong with your shoulder? Rotator cuff-busitis?
It was nice seeing Jenny and the kids and it was good that the weather cooperated so that we could be outdoors. We figure there’s no use letting our guard down now after all the months we have spent keeping safe. It is not worth it. We are getting our second shots next week so two weeks after that for Jenny’s birthday we can see them unmasked and indoors so it’s just a little longer. They say after you are fully vaccinated you can pick one other family that you can visit unmasked even if they are not inoculated as long as there is no one there high risk-so it’s a no brainer for us who that will be. We should be able to visit our friends up north this summer as they are vaccinated too so I am really looking forward to that.
Do you read the GH thread on the Q boards? It seems like all everyone does is complain about the writing and the storylines. It makes me wonder why people continue to watch if they don’t like anything. It’s the same with the Days of Our Lives thread. I have watched both-not religiously-but off and on for years-so I have missed big chunks of time. Right now I am back to watching both but if I miss a day here or there it’s no big thing. I don’t really expect the soaps to be that great-watching is just sort of an escape seeing the lives of familiar characters and some of the goofy things that they do. I don’t take it all that seriously.
Adele,
So Aizen hid from the Easter bunny. lol I hope that he is getting more used to being back in school. What grade is he in now?
I hope that Gary is doing better. I didn’t realize that he was going back for a kidney operation. Are they getting stones out or maybe putting in a stent?
That was nice that your friend brought her dog over and Tillie loved it. I used to bring our Rocky to see my MIL in the nursing home as he was her favorite. Everyone always wanted to give him treats so I used to have to break up the treats in small pieces so he didn’t get too much.
glad to hear you are getting your shot. They arranged for the health department to go to Greg’s work on Saturday and give the J and J shots to their employees-so far a lot are signed up so that is good. They have tried so hard to make things as safe as possible for their employees-not all businesses are quite as careful from what I hear.
DD, Good to hear from you. I leave my Easter stuff up through April as the pastel colors are pretty and spring like and then in May i will bring out the more summery and red white and blue stuff. I figure there are no rules and i can change seasonal things as I want.
Nothing is more annoying than getting kicked off the sight right as you post. It’s happened to me. I think whenever they tinker with the site we have to sign in again. Glad to hear that you and Critt shared Easter.
Colleen, you get a gold star! You were right. Nick came in as a performer! As soon as Niecy said she was making the decision I guessed it must be Nick and the first thing I said to Greg was Colleen was right. lol I will be so glad when he takes over again-she talks like she is reading what she says from a first grade reader-it’s kind of annoying-At least to me. lol

Hi Everyone,
Sue, I will definitely say a prayer for your friend and her family.
I hope everyone had a nice Easter.
The weather here was lovely. In fact it was upper 70’s and sitting outdoors at Jenny’s with no shade it was downright hot. I never really thought it would be that hot so I didn’t wear sunscreen and consequently got a nice sunburn on my arms. Ouch! But we were able to see the grands and bring them Easter baskets. We had pickup from a little local diner which we ate outdoors. So all in all it was a nice day. Brent called in the evening and we had a nice chat. He is enjoying Colorado and is happy with the move.
Poor Greg has to have some dental work done today so even though he will get the day off work it won’t be for a fun reason.
The kids were hoping that the Harvard pool would be open this summer. I have not heard anything about that yet so time will tell whether they will consider that safe. Of course their aunt and uncle who live two doors away have a pool so I imagine they will go there too over the summer.

Adele,
Glad the xrays are clear. Maybe he just needs a few days of good rest.
Glad the chest was clear. He doesn’t need pneumonia on top of everything else and that really knocks you out. At least it did me when I had it.
do you make your own crust for the pie too? I have never made a real pie crust.

Hi Adele,
I don’t know if they can see those other things on xray or not.
I know what you mean. sometimes I just get tired of having to speak with a raised voice and just won’t say anything. It’s kind of sad.
Very chilly this morning but going to warm up.
Hope that Gary is feeling better.
I just love all of your pretty Easter baskets. I hope the bunny brings you something too.

Sue,
Glad that you got the hearing aides fixed. Greg has hearing aids but he never uses them. Consequently I have to repeat almost everything that i say.
Adele,
That’s probably why Greg won’t wear his hearing aides. he’d rather not hear me. lol
But you also know the frustration of having to repeat everything. I know it’s bad for him because he can’t hear but i get tired of repeating things too. It’s a double edged sword.
Were they xraying Gary for pnuemonia? I’m kind of surprised they didn’t give him an inhaler along with the antibiotics.
I love the pictures. The chocolates look so cute. I like those Americana looking vases or whatever they are too.

I am starting a new chat page for April. See you all there.

Hi Adele,
I will pray for Gary to get better. When do you think you will be able to get your shot?
I heard the same thing about that tanker and the tp but don’t know if it’s really even true. They probably have my pills on that tanker too. lol
They do have a honey baked ham store about 45 minutes away from here. We had been going to an Easter brunch in town here for the last several years-not last year though. Hopefully they will start that back up next year. We would go to that late in the morning and then the kids would come over later in the afternoon for an egg hunt and we would have sandwiches from a deli tray that I picked up at WalMart so I made things really easy for myself. I find the kids could care less about a sit down big dinner so I figured I would make it easy on myself.
Do you mean a woman was taking care of her sister’s children because her sister died and now that woman died too? Who will take care of the children. Hopefully the Dad is around or something. But maybe not or he would have been taking care of the children already. Those poor kids. How old are they. what a lot of sadness in their short lives.

Hi Sue,
Hopefully you will be getting our weather soon. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be nice and then cold Wend. and Thurs.
I’m glad that you can at least use your savings for gas even if you can not get the ham.
I hope you can get the hearing aide fixed soon. That must be really annoying.
I have come to understand that I can’t make other people follow the rules-I just have to follow them myself and try to steer clear of others who won’t. It does make me mad but I have learned to live with it. That’s basically why we just stay home for the most part.
I have a little bit of a rash on my arm which I guess is not unusual with the first shot of moderna. Mine is small-I’ve seen pictures of people with much worse. It seems to come only with the first shot and goes away on it’s own and is supposed to be nothing to worry about. Everyone is different.
I am having a problem with one of my pills too which I have taken for years. It is frequently back ordered now and I am almost out. So the pharmacist has a call into my rheumatologist to try and figure out what to do. I guess they have some which are not extended release so I may have to take those instead. It’s always something. lol
