Palm Sunday greetings

So our Lord comes, riding on an ass, into the city of Jerusalem, while his followers shouted Hosanna and scattered palm branches in this path.  Little to know that just a few short days later he would die on a cross and resurrected 3 days later. 

Not much going on here.  I had a date on Friday.  Met up with a guy for a drink.  He was nice.  A little older than me.  53 actually.  He was handsome and seemed to be a great catch.  We will see.  I am not getting my hopes up this time.  He is also recently seperated... 

Spring is coming on very slowly.  We have not had any really warm days out of the 40's.  My Dad is back from Florida having racked up over 300 cache finds.  I still haven't broke 200 and he has nearly or over 3000!  I may go out later after church and get a couple. 

Have a nice Sunday and week everyone...  Linda

As the louse turns...

Sarah asked me to check her hair last night before bed and I did.  I found two live lice and a few nits.  I am ready to yank my hair and hers out!  I will have to do her hair this morning again.  This will be the 4th time!  I think she got these from school again.  The bugs were full grown and only a few nits so I think she just got these.  The only other thing is I may have missed a couple nits and these just got to adult size.  So I am going to do her hair and then send her to school and go to work. 

I have really enjoyed watching this egg-cam.  I got the link from Dad at his Tomato Garden Journal.  I believe the link to that is on the right.  I can't wait to see this chick joined by some brothers and sisters.  New life is wonderful isn't it?  I hope this little fella or gal doesn't end up on someone's plate! 

I took Miss Daisy for a walk in downtown Saratoga yesterday.  She was so confused with all the sights and sounds and traffic!  I need to teach her not to cross back behind me and stop short in front of me.  She is learning to enjoy being outdoors and knows what the leash is for now!  She still won't poop outdoors, but I think once it gets warmer and we stay outside more she will do it.  I don't think I wrote that last week, she pooped twice on carpet in the nursing home and peed in the elevator!  Quite embarrassing! 

The cat is out of the bag.  I was going to surprise my Mom with a visit in April but I went ahead and told her.  She was planning a trip to Texas for a couple days to see the blue bonnets and do some shopping.  I didn't want her to go at the same time I was coming!  Also she is coming up here in May!  She will be spending alot of time with her sister, who isn't feeling too good.  So thats my update.  Hope everyone has a great day!  Watch the chicks hatch!  Linda

Hello Monday

Yep, its Monday again.  Whoopee!  I worked this weekend, so there really is no difference to me.  Sarah had her art reception.  I was a little disappointed.  I met her there with her Grandmother and Father (urg).  Her picture was in this little tiny art gallery with outrageously expensive art in it.  It was hung on the wall and very cute!  We stayed maybe 10 minutes and left.  There was no "artist reception".  I would say it was more like an open house.  Sarah went to the mall after and got her ears pierced!  She looks so cute with the little studs in there!  My sister sent me some pics of Abbigail enjoying some snow in Arkansas!  They got a little in Louisiana but more further up north.  Here she is!

I really miss my family down south and hope I can go see them soon!  We have had a few signs of spring here.  Buds on some trees, spring flowers coming up in a flower bed, red-wing blackbirds coming back, and robins on the dead frozen grass!  So anyhow, I'm thinking the gas stations should leave carts out by the pumps for people to leave arms, legs and possible vital organs to pay for the gas now.  Have to work overtime to pay for the gas to go to work! 

hi mom and brenda!

Exciting news for Sarah

Yesterday Sarah came home with this note in her papers.  It says:

Congratulations Sarah!

Your impressive self-portrait was selected to be shown in the art gallery on Beekman Street in the Art District of Saratoga Springs!  The galleries that will show your work include Mimosa, ArtWorx, and Feast Galleries.  There will be an opening reception for you and your family on Sunday, March 9th from 1 until 4 PM, at the galleries.  I hope to see you there! 

Once again, congratulations!  Your art work looks wonderful and you should feel proud of your accomplishment!  Mr. Taylor

Isn't that great!  Two of her classmates were also chosen.  I have to work Sunday, but I'm going to see if I can leave early to go to the art reception.  Linda

March into Spring photo contest

March into Spring Photo Contest

While not taken this spring because we still have over a foot of snow on the ground, it is still a springy picture.  One of the first signs of spring here is the return of our Ruby-throated Hummingbirds!  This was taken last year...

Back from a fun trip

As you can see, we had a great time at the Waterpark.  It was very busy on Sunday and not as bad Monday.  Our room was great and the hotel had everything you need.  Resteraunts, gift shops etc...  The only thing I didn't like was the parking lot was full of snow and we only saw 2 costume characters the whole time.  I was actually surprised on how many people were there.  I thought it would be very quiet.  I also indulged in a 25 minutes massage!  It was great!  Linda

Two day vacation starts today!

Aol is really being horrible to me today.  Nothing is saving correctly in my files.  Grrrr.  I guess I'm going to have to switch to photobucket or something.  Anyhow!  Today the kids and I are going up to the Great Escape Lodge.  First however, I have to go get Private Duty lady up in the morning and give her a shower.  She gave me this nice little bathing suit.  It fits good except the back is very low cut and the straps feel like they will fall off.  So just as a precaution I'm bringing my old standby bathing suit!  I would hate to come out of the end of a waterslide with my top down to my waist!  LOL!  That will frighten the kiddies!  We got about 6 more inches of snow overnight yesterday.  I am ready to start cussin' over all this snow we are getting!  The snowbank in my driveway is bigger than I am!  I know all we need are a few warm days though and it will melt.  Ok I need to go get ready for our trip.  I will take pictures and a couple movies to share!  Linda
