Ok, maybe if I post this in VERY small letters, it won't really happen. 2 inches of snow forecast for tonight and 5-6 inches tomorrow. YIKES!!!

Update.. After agreeing to having a new router installed for $5 a month, I got to thinking, shoot, I can buy a new router for that price and install it myself. Then I got to thinking.. the router couldn't just quit. So I fiddled around with wires and connections and got it working again. TA DA!! So Randy from India, I can fix it myself, thank you very much!

Good Morning, Violets.. Another lazy day here today. We had a thunderstorm last night, so no mulching today. It's 47 degrees and rain expected today too. I lost my router this morning so they are coming to install another tomorrow morning. That means I can only use the desktop computer for today. The Bobster is not going to be happy that he can't use his laptop. It also means we can't use the wireless printer. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh technology... gotta love it! I have choir tonight and that's it for the day. I think I'll enjoy my quiet time before Ethan arrives tomorrow and Friday. Everyone make it a good one!!

Are YOU feeling better?????

38 days till Haydee and Juan's wedding!!

Good morning, Violets.. It rained hard last night and more is due today so no mulching or triking today. I'm headed back to the hospital to finish my project. It should take a couple of hours. Then nothing until singing rehearsal tonight. Guess I'll tackle the laundry and do some cleaning inside since I can't work outside. Hope all are well and enjoying this weather. The grass is getting green and the trees are budding. Ahhhhhhhhhh spring. Everyone have a great day!

Good evening, Violets.. Laura.. hope you feel better soon. Carson looks so cute in the Facebook pics. The bobster and I got some more work done in the backyard today. We got a new water fountain for one of the flower gardens and will take the old one and put it in the front yard. So far I have put down 12 bags of mulch. We're getting 10 more bags tomorrow and then we should be half done with the backyard. Then we need to start looking for some new perennials to plant. I'm off to singing rehearsal tonight and then watching the basketball game tonight. We're watching the Detroit Tiger's first baseball game of the season and they're winning! woo hooo! Everyone have a good evening!

Good morning, Violets.. Haydee.. you look gorgeous!! What beautiful pictures!!! PamELa.. have you recovered from the quake??? Well, Easter is over and onward to the next exciting event!!! I can't wait!!! Today is a backyard mulching day again. We got some much needed rain and I hope we can burn some of the brush that needs to be cleared out. The dogs go in for their grooming this afternoon and I have hospital shift this morning and rehearsal this evening. It's a beautiful day out. 50 degrees right now going up to a high of 68 today. I think we might call and get the pool opened up soon. I can't wait to get in!!! Off to finish my breakfast of cheerios and banana. Everyone have a great day!!!

A very Blessed Easter to all my Violet Sistahs!!

Good evening, Violets.. Wonderful day today. Bob and I hauled 12 bags of mulch and I spread 11 of them. I have 1/4 of the flower beds done in the back. I figure about 15 more bags and the back yard will be done. Then on to about 15 more bags for the front yard. Things are starting to get green. We FINALLY got some rain today. It was much needed. Kris, Nathan, Grady, Bob and I just finished watching the Michigan State/Butler game. Sad to say MSU lost, but the other team certainly deserved to win. Tomorrow will be a busy, family day. Unfortunately the family is all going to different churches. I'll be at the Alpena church, Bob will be at his church and Kris and Nathan will be at the Presbyterian church in town. They will not go to our church as long as the minister is still there. In the afternoon we will go to Kris's for the Easter dinner. I fixed butternut squash and will take some rolls too. Kris is having ham and cheesy potatoes and pecan pie. Another test for me! I'm off to bed pretty soon. I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed Easter. Soon we'll be seeing each other again and I for one can't wait!!! Everyone have a good evening. Sleep well.

Good morning, Violets.. Longgggggggg day yesterday, but it sure felt like Good Friday. I was at the church from 11-3:30. Bob's sermon portion was great and I did well on my song. It was so good to have the "team" back together.. pastor, soloist and accompianist. I babysat for Ethan and Grady when I got home and I gotta say. 1 is great.. 2 not so much! Especially when Ethan doesn't like Grady because he has to share Gramma time. The guys went golfing and Kris went to Zumba. Luckily I could take the kids out to the backyard, because the inside of the house was trashed! After the kids left, Bob and I went to an Unveiling of the Cross service which really made me feel like Good Friday and then we went out to dinner. Today is all about MULCH! We're going to start the flower beds before things strart to grow too much and we can't get in and around plants as easily. Everyone have a great day!!

Was it something I said?? Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day.

HAHA!! you got that right!

Good evening, Violets.. Michelle.... DS looks great!! Bet he's glad to be rid of the metal in his mouth. As for the flowers. Yup.. they're very pretty and more of what I wanted for you from us, but I will be calling my florist tomorrow just to let them know. I told them to tell the florist, it HAD to be violet. (not to worry.. no more exchanges!) But I am happy that they are pretty and one of your favorite plants. I hope it grows well in your garden and that it will be a reminder of our love for you. It was a gorgeous day here today. Unbelievable 74 degrees!!!! I spent a lot of time trying to balance our checking accounts after having to uninstall and reinstall the Microsoft Money program. Finally got it within a penny, so I'm happy. I went to the resale shop and got a few cute shirts for spring. Had choir rehearsal and then dinner with the Bobster. Now I'm home and in my jammies. The next few days will be very busy. Tomorrow Ethan comes at 8-4, then I head to Bob's church to participate in the Maundy Thursday service, then Friday is the three hour Good Friday service when I'll be playing in a flute duet and singing a solo. Kris is coming with Grady to color eggs with Ethan while I'm gone for the 3 hours. She was here with Grady today and we went out to lunch and then to the park for some playtime. Now it's time to settle in and watch Modern Family and then Man VS food. It's all good. Everyone have a good evening. Sleep well!

Good morning, Violets.. It's going to be a beautiful day here today with temps in the upper 60's! Ethan comes at 9:30 so his mom can Zumba and I leave at 9:15 to rehearse flute music for Good Friday. The Bobster will be in charge for a bit. He itching to get in some golf today. I hope to get some triking in today before choir practice. Janie..I hear ya about the taxes. We got some back on state and a bunch back on federal and don't have to pay quarterly until June. wooo hooooo!! But then we get the bill from the accountant and that will be a chunk. Jen just called and she's still got a cold so no Zumba and no Ethan. I know where the Bobster will be this morning! FORE! Gina.. ditto what Pam said. You have to be the advocate for your child. Things are SUPPOSED to be done, but you will have to make sure they are done. Michelle.. I have had the same hair stylist for years and years and I trust her so sometimes I just say.... "go for it". Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm pretty comfortable with my hair right now. It's the color I want and the style I want. But then again, I'm getting old and set in my ways. I like the hairstyle in your picture, but I also like the little flippy thing you had going before. Off to get dressed, do my hair and get make up slathered on for the day. Everyone make it a good one!

45 days till Haydee and Juan's wedding!!

Good morning, Violets... I'm off to spend the day with Kris and Grady. Everyone make it a good one!!

Good afternoon, Violets.. My hospital shift was only 15 minutes today. There were no packets that needed to be made and the copiers were down anyway. Soooooooo back home and hitting the laundry. Got some house cleaning in, 30 minutes on the glider and an hour raking outside. I can't believe all the leaves in the flower gardens. I had all of that done last Fall. Where the heck did all the leaves come from???? Michelle... lovely memorial document. The picture with reindeer headbands was perfect! PamELa.. are you lounging by the pool today? It's 43 degrees here right now and perfect weather for being outside without a jacket. Hey.. I have a question. Do any of you have issues with belching? I mean constant belching after drinking anything??? Bob says I need to go to the doctor, but I keep saying, it's not an illness.. it's just belching. I've switched to drinking from a glass instead of sipping from a water bottle, thinking that would make a difference, but it hasn't. I haven't had anything carbonated since April 2007 so it can't be that. Just wondering if anyone else has an issue with this. Off to check out Facebook and emails. Community Chorus rehearsal tonight. I'm spending the day with Kris and Grady tomorrow!!
