Hi Everyone!

[Blueyes]

Wow Judy! After all of that snow, I wondered if you'd EVER thaw out. lol! I'm glad you are seeing and feeling Spring!
Fredricksburg is a small German town that comes to life every Spring with the wildflowers. It's a few hours drive from here, but well worth the trip! It's in the Texas Hill Country, not too far from Gayle.

I've seen the bluebonnets in the spring in Texas and they are beautiful!!! I remember driving around Austin and seeing them in between the roads!! I've seen some signs of spring here.......the daffodils are budding out.....so it won't be long until we have some color showing up!!! I'm ready for spring!!

WHEW! We have run errands all day in the rain, trying to get things ready to return to the lake tomorrow. It is supposed to be in the low 70's and sunny the rest of the week! YAY!

We just realized today that Gary's insulin will be delivered on Thursday (we leave tomorrow which is Wednesday). It is sent by 24 hour delivery by UPS in a cold pack. It usually ships on the 17th, we get it on the 18th of every month. The UPS guy just leaves it on the front porch. Welllll - - we won't be here day after tomorrow (delivery day) so Gary is over at the neighbors asking him to pick it up and put it in his refrigerator (insulin has to be kept refrigerated). I called the company today, but it was already in packaging, too late to stop delivery. I sure am glad we remembered! WHEW!

We will pick Gary's sister up at 10:30 tomorrow morning and then head south! I'll be reading the forum till Sunday when we return - but won't post because the phone system is just too slow!

I have my camera laid out to take, now, if I can just remember to take some pictures!!!

Have a good time!!! Your trips always sound like fun!!!

I absolutely love reading everyone's posts. We too are seeing some signs of spring...I'm glad everyone else is too. It's about time.


I forgot about this thread when I posted about Lynne and I going wine tasting on Saturday. Let's see....what else has been going on... Monday I had to go to the bank and do errands...also had to take an inventory of how much fluid supply Mother has. She seems to forgot how to count ...lol. Tuesday I got my hair cut, today I had to take Penny to the Vet for her annual. Tomorrow I take Mom to the Dr. and then on Friday...I go to the dentist again. I'm not going to make any appointments for next week though. It's spring break next week...so not sure what I'll do having the place to myself. Need to get the yard cleaned up...need to clean closets and drawers...so much to do...so little time....oh and I almost forgot...still need to do Ricky and Mom's taxes.

I think that after spring break....I'm going to need a vacation...lol

Gayle you are always on the go!! Sounds like so much fun! Have a good time!

Diana, we all know what you have been doing!! You lucky thing! You've been holding that baby alot haven't you?

Betsi I sure hope you get to take that trip and see the pretty flowers!

I hope to take my first camping trip of the year next month!!

It sounds like we're all crawling out of our winter hibernation. I haven't worn a coat in days! There are still tons of snow here, but I think in a couple of weeks it will be almost gone. There is some snow left until May, so I hear.

All I know is that I am getting a pedicure next week in preparation for flip flop weather. When I worked, I would always be the first to bring out the flip flops. I would declare officially that it was time, and that was it.

I may be flip flopping around in snow this year.

Hi All! Network seems a little faster tonight. I'll try to post a little. Everyone out fishing. I'm at the trailer fixing supper, cola crockpot chicken. Hope it's good. Lazy day. Cooked, watched basketball on TV, walked the dogs (a zillion times-LOL), didn't do much of anything productive. AHHH!

Just found out I will have to go to Washington D C on business the end of April. Wish it were earlier so I could see the cherry blossoms!

Well the crew came in before I finished this post so now, dinner is over. The cola chicken was good but nothing special. Oh well, everyone was hungry and appreciative that I fixed it. tomorrow we are going to town for dinner. Thee local cafe has fried catfish, oysters and shrimp every Fri. night. It's GOOD but doesn't do much for the waistline LOL.

[DianaB]

Gayle, your trip sounds so relaxing!! And here you go traveling again.......and to Washington, DC!!! Wow!!! Now do you just go on these business trips or do you speak at them?


Judy, since I have low thyroid it makes me have cold feet without being in the snow so I can't imagine going out in flip-flops this early but ......you go girl!!!!


And, Janet, head my way whenever you're ready!!!

I've been trying to keep things done up here lately so I could start cleaning this week. Yesterday (Sunday) I gave the dogs a bath so all I would need would be a quick combing to keep them looking good this week.

This is how my week is starting already..... woke up about 4:30 am to a dog barking. Didn't get up to check on her...I just went back to sleep. I mostly just dozed, but she did quiet down. I didn't hear Ricky's alarm go off so I had to get up and make sure he was getting up for school. I then went to let the dogs out of their crates so they could go potty and I guess I should have gotten up when I heard the barking. Gidget must be pregnant, because usually after a week or two of being bred, she gets sick. AND she did...all over the crate. So another bath for her and now I'm waiting for daylight to hose the bedding down and then I'll throw it in the washer. What a way to start off....LOL.

Well...I need to get started if this cleaning gig is going to happen.

[paula1961]

Hope your week improves Janet. I'm sure it will. This must be your spring break.
Poor Gidget, hope she feels better soon.

[DianaB]

What a way to start your week. I hope it gets better. How exciting that Gidget is pregnant again!!! Enjoy your week but make sure you take time out for Janet!!!!
