Cady, all of us seem to be having that problem lately -- crazy busy. . . at least I sure have. At least you still had enough time to read. {:-)
Donna M, love your flower pictures, especially that one of the little blue flowers growing over the curb. And the winery garden one. {:-) Okay, I now understand about your mold problem. That kind probably isn't as urgent as it could be if it were underneath your sink or something, but yeah, you'd probably feel more comfortable if maintenance came and had a go at it.
We're busy sucking up water in our basement -- again! First it's our hot water tank leaking. We get that fixed, get everything dried up, and 3 months later the floor is wet again. Our softener is overflowing and won't stop running. Bypass that, get the floor dried out again. Three months later we decide to call the softener guy to come see if he can fix it. Nope, he can't, we need a new one. Okay, can't afford it right now, so we bypass the softener, but leave it hooked up. Three weeks later I go down the basement for something and step in water -- again! The bypass for the softener is leaking. Our dbil, Dan, luckily is a plumber. He came, disconnected the softener and permanently bypassed it -- until we can afford a new softener. We've got a 5-gal. shopvac and we sucked it full 2 1/2 times. Our daughter is bringing her dehumidifier back for us to use to get all the moisture out of everything.
Trudy, I'm glad you can get together with a friend of Sharon's to talk. It's always good when you can share memories with a friend.
I hear you on the low temperatures! We've had 2 days so far where it's gone above freezing. We've still got 6' snowbanks in our driveway. According to the forecasts, we're more than a month behind where the normal lows and highs should be by now. Last year on March 31 we had a wiener roast in our back yard for Hardy's birthday. This year our 2' high fire pit is still under 1' of snow.
I got the same book as you from Tellharlequin. Something about chocolate. Haven't read it yet. I want to finish the series I'm on first.
Mary, I'm still sewing on the quilt my daughter is making for her niece. . . {:-O We need to get it done already because I have another one to finish before the end of May. Luckily that one is a baby one, so it's a lot smaller.
Amanda, yikes! You're very lucky that wasn't your trailer that burned. They are very lucky as many of them got out as did. We have friends who's trailer burned a few years ago. He had just left for work, and she was about to go back to bed when she realized she smelled smoke. All she had time for was to put her slippers back on and grab her two little boys and get out. What she mourned losing the most was all her wedding pictures and the boys' birth books.
Sandi, I'd love to get a new sink faucet, too. Hardy keeps looking at those commercials for the taps where you touch them on and off. Maybe a new tap is on the horizon. . . {:-)
I went over on my ankle last Sunday, going down some steps. Sat down real hard on the top step! I didn't think I'd done anything, but within the hour my ankle was very swollen and purple all the way from my heel to my toes. Had it bandaged for 4 days, and then thought it was better -- most of the bruising was gone -- so yesterday we went to "Spring Expo". Walked around on it for about 3 hours. Last night it was all swollen, and now I see that it's all swollen, again. Gotta go put the tensor back on. . . K, I'm back.
I've got Robyn Carr's "The Wanderer" coming. It will probably be here Monday -- I hope! I've started reading a trilogy by Julie Ann Walker, a ntm author, "Hell On Wheels", "In Rides Trouble", and "Rev It Up". I'm not even sure where I heard these mentioned. They're about a Special Ops group who use a Motorcycle Shop as a front. The story lines are great and I like her style of writing, but the language is horrible. I finished the "-Stiff" series by Annelise Ryan. Also found out that's a pseudonym for Beth Amos, so now have some of her books reserved at the library.
Our son had a wisdom tooth pulled a little over a week ago. By Sun he was so swollen, even his eyelid was puffy. He phoned the dentist who told him to come in the next day. When the dentist looked at him last Mon, he realized that he'd had a reaction to the packing that had been used. He cleaned everything out, put a different kind of packing in, and sent him home with antibiotics. We saw him Tues. at noon. He was still swollen, but not real bad, and by suppertime he was even less swollen. Thank goodness, too, because today he and his wife flew down to the USA. She's the one with the back problems and they're going to -- now I can't find where I wrote it down -- Henderson, Nevada, I think. Her surgery's Mon, and they fly back home next Sat.
My granddaughter, Laura, was in the Music Festival this past week. She was entered in 6 piano classes, and came home with 3 firsts, and 3 seconds.
I got hooked on making jewellery. Our pastor's wife makes it, and she's teaching me. I've only make a ring so far, but I've got all the fixin's to make many more rings, and many pairs of earrings. I won't bother with necklaces or bracelets because I don't wear them.
Wow, I'd better quit before I run out of space. Warm spring hugs to everyone. Apologies if I missed anyone. I was going back and forth so often I was almost dizzy. {:-D
