Hi Potties! HAPPY EASTER to all! Want to get caught up here before NASCAR drops the green flag at Bristol tonight.
Marson - Was your weather as bad as that shown in N. Dakota a few days back? I don't miss the cold & snow one bit.
Did you get your taxes out of the way? I let AARP do ours & have for a number of years. They keep up with the rule changes every year & I don't want to take a chance of doing them wrong. I signed off on ours Wed. AM & they're filed electronically. The only stress for me is keeping up with the location to find where everything is set up as the filing location.Katie - I just read a couple of books about the rescue of the Polish horses near the end of WWII. It was truly a miracle that so many were saved.
You must have been over-run with Matchbox & Hot Wheels. Who was the collector?Max -Sounds like you finally started catching up on your overdue rain late Sat. I'll bet your tomatoes were really glad to have that happen. It got here late Sat. evening & lasted until the wee hours of the AM. We got enough to fill the nearly empty birdbath. That expected tonight is supposed to last thru a good bit of Mon. so I won't have to worry about topping off the fish pond.
Wish you could see the vase - it's pattern is "Drapery" & there was also an ice blue nut dish in the same pattern. Check the Doty website for examples - https://www.ddoty.com/ Now to find a choice spot to display both pieces.Gordon - I know exactly what you're talking about. I've been able to tell as the COPD gets worse but lately I wonder about my mind. I can't always remember all the cats' names - if I have 5-6 in the bed I have trouble remembering who's missing - and the newest one has been here at least 5 years.
I've been pretty useless the past week. The taxes were the main accomplishment. My primary care dr. set me up for a cardiac ultrasound this past Mon. Guess I'll find out why & what she learned when I see her in May. I told her I didn't care what tests she wanted to do as long as they didn't hurt.
I spent a few hours at the old house this past week. I was thrilled to find the unexpected carnival glass but I also brought a few odds 'n ends over here to clean & pass on to the family. Selena called the other night to catch up a bit & I'm hoping she'll be able to stop by this coming week to collect the few things I've gathered up. One thing I brought over here was an Ultrex slow cooker that Bear had bought some years ago. He'd never even opened the box . I'm hoping it will go with Elizabeth Anne when she heads off to Ann Arbor to start law school in Aug.
I'm seeing a pair of hummingbirds make regular stops at their feeder this week. The chickadees have decided to drink water out of the ant trap on the hummer feeder instead of from the bird bath - no idea why.
Booth sales are slower than ever. I suspect tax season & spring break for many schools have taken up the money that might have been spent at the store. Hopefully it will pick back up the last week or so of the month.
Time to get a thing or 2 done before the race. Everybody take care & enjoy whatever spring weather comes your way. Later.
Susan
