Happy Easter!! Christ is RISEN INDEED!!!!

NO BETTER DAY THAN EASTER!!!  Rose had written herself a note to make sure that she remembered that it was Easter.  She came over and when Lincoln was up they hunted behind the deck for Easter treasures.  We went to the Catholic Church: Our Lady of Guadalupe.   We weren't too late.  They had a great children's choir.  Lots of good songs.  The Priest did a sprinkling of the congregation, dipping water for 2 aluminum basins, up and down all the aisles, followed by 2 ladies with mops.  First time for me on that Easter activity.  After church we hunted eggs on the lower racasa.   Lincoln was so cute visiting with Mert about the planter she got a church.  He is not here.  He is risen.   At 3 there was an Easter Park Dinner.  Mucho good food.  Matt's family at church, Then they went to Erin and Nick's, Missy's family at Taj Ma Hal . Luke's family was in Texas. Mandy's family was at Erin's.  SO THANKFUL HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!

Caitlin's game

 Sister call at 7:05... Got me up.  Pete and I played pickleball at 9.  L&K and Pete went shopping, we watched the kids in the pool.  We went to feed the turtles, and Lincoln let me ride on the seat while He pedaled HArD to carry  me on the tricycle.  We ate a lunch of leftovers of Ribs for Pete.  We watched Caitlin and Iowa Women's BB team! 'NUF said. Iowa Won!!

Luke's family arrives!!!

 Kinda a slow morning.  My body is still itchy!! Not fun at all!!  I'm trying Dawn/ did n't help.  Next denny is having me try some moisturizing cream ... We'll see.  Didn't work Still feels itchy to me.  Mandy recommends Benadryl and allergy medicine. DG market recommended Cortisone cream.  It has worked the best.  I did take the 5 Benadryl that I had.  Luke/s got into Harlingen about 2:30.  They ate Mexican there before heading to 4 Seasons.  Fay and Jerry joined us for smoked ribs about 7.  She brought dessert. It was all good, but it wasn't on my radar that fish would have been better.  Uffda!!  Pete is staying at Schrums, EJ's are at Hendersons.   

Jenuine Cello

I went up to play pickleball for a while.  At home we figured how to make soil holes in the landscape fabric.  Nancy's torch that she gave me for my birthday worked pretty well.  denny and I went to the beach about 2.  We dropped off some donations at Animal rescue and then met Bill and Sandy at The Kracken for Salisbury steak mashed potatoes and toast.  YUM!  Next we followed them to Holiday Inn South to listen to a cellist who was amazing!  At home we watched Tv and headed to bed.  I checked and my bulbs from Breck were delivered to the farm.  Nikki went to take them out to the house.  Great day in the Valley!!

                                                          

Floor finished

I got up during the early morning and put together some travel treats for Bransons.  We stayed in bed until almost 9.  So nice and lazy.  Denny went to Home Depot and got finishing satin polyurethane.  I visited Gloria and went thru the 50 year book with her.  Denny also went to Walmart and got some groceries.  We went to the pool, At sunset Eileen, and Kay came over for the sunset.  I have been itching from bug bites? all over my body.  It is pretty icky

BHA

I left at 9 for Black Friday $1Tuesday.  The best thing I got was a cooler forDenny.  I listened to a book. At  PB a friend of Eilene and Gary C, Kay was here to play PB.  Denny taped the floor and put matt finish polyeuathane on the floor.  Hopefully it will put the deterioration of the floor in check.  We fixed supper to take to Kay and Wayne.  At 5:30 we rode with Kathy and Gregg to the Brownsville Historical Association.  It was very nice with pretty flowers sliders served by waitresses on wood platters.  None of us from 4 seasons enjoyed the night.  They let us take some flowers home.  Kathy and I put together flowers for Roberta, Gloria, Kay, Leann, and Karen.  So pretty.  

PB

 Up for devo.  PB 10-12.  Trip to Home Depot We got varnish for floor erosion by the refridge.   We went to the pool.  Kathy and Gregg came for supper.  I found the snap dragon seeds in the plastic bag with the cilantro.... Really Faith.  Brats, guacamole, Green beans, onions.  asian salad, oreos.  Fun to visit!!   It was so great on the deck, Amy, Kevin and Mose came and chilled on the deck.

 

Chapel by the Sea

Nice slow morning.  We left about 8:45 for Church.  It was a nice service.  The sides of the room have full windows on 2 sides.  The piano player was amazing.  The service started at 9:30 and we were driving to the beach about10:30.  Windy day at the beach.  I read, napped and listened to a book.  I walked to the Jetty before we headed home.  At 3 we walked to Doug and Jackies for a get together of those born in 1950.  I was just tired from being at the beach.  Another great meal.  At home we watched tv, wishing that we could watch the show, but not the commercials.  Uffda!

Wild August

 Up to listen to The Help.  Coffee and donuts.  Meet and I went to the garage sale at the Meth church and then to Wild August.  We shared some tacos. and cake/lime drink.  I can'e remember what we did in the afternoon.  

Walmart Run

I was slow in the morning.  I feel like I'm coming down with a cold.  This text from Matt made my day.  About 10 I went to play PB for an hour.  BSF at noon. Nap,  Denny and I made a walmart run.  After putting groceries away we went to the swimming pool.  Lou stopped over for a visit.  It was windy under the big top.                                                

                                                 

No Progresso

We had thought about going to Mexico, but decided against it.  We got Hendersons place ready for Luke and Karen.  At 5:20 I rode with Karen to go to the paint at Brownsville Historical.  Fun night!!

Gail and Bruce head north

I got up to make chicken salad for Henderson's trip north and pack a little cheese and crackers.  Gail and I visited until 5 when it was time for her to shower.  They left the park around 5:30.  I found my plastic planting frames.  Uffda!! I thought I was loosing my mind, because I couldn't find them.  Life.....  Denny and Brad did horse races.  

On a positive note....  I do have ONE ranunculus blooming.  Praise the Lord, 

Chicken used up

 Slow am, I slept until 8:30 ... unheard of by me.  Pickleball around 10.  We worked on Sharon P. crank trailer windows.  Denny closed up Bruce N. trailer.  Bill and Sandy brought over key lime pie, yum!!  We had them and Gail and Bruce over for chicken enchilada's.  Good visit under big top.  I'm working on changing a picture for BHA sip and paint.  

                                        

Nancy to Madison

 I hung around in the morning and helped Nancy pack and sort in room.  We left for airport at 8:30.  Flight left at 10:30.  She traveled safely to Madison.  Justine and Nancy went to Todd's to get the walker for Nanacy to use in her apartment.  Denny and I moved her wheels into her room.  At 4 we went to Hall.  for potluck smoked pork by Dave and hamburgers.  Brenda texted and shared that Ben had proposed to Evie in Texas and they were there to celebrate with them!!!  

                                         

Happy St Pat's

 Nancy went to church with Gail and Bruce.  We went to Christ Community Church and went to Jason's Deli with Bransons afterward.  I listened to The Help book and was out on the deck.  Nancy is busy watching BB tournament and trying to pack.  We ate so much for lunch, we plan to just go to the free dance at the Hall and not eat the chicken Enchilada that I made yesterday.  

Fixin Fish

Yoga with Gail, Sandy, Leann.  I played some pickleball.  I have one small bud on my ranunculus plants.  My new fertilizer came yesterday and I watered before Denny and I went to Walmart.   Friday I went to get my nails done, but Haley didn't let me know that she did not have an opening.  I went today at noon.  I was out on the deck listening to a book for a while this afternoon.  ISU won the big 12 tournament tonight!!
