Good morning to the most beautiful flowers in the world! Looks like it is going to be a nice day here. It has been so nice here the last few days, I hope it continues. Looks like it is going to be a bit cooler the next few days, but still nice.
We got the shock of our lives yesterday. I was sitting at the computer and Jack was watching the NCAA games and a commercial comes on about our local news and they say something about the mayor resigning! Yup, our corrupt mayor is resigning July 31! Sounds really fishy to me and he won't give any specific reasons, but rumor from a couple people that know him is that he wants to be school superintendent again, (Heaven help us he was the superintendent when we lived here with the kids while Jack was still in the Navy and he was awful) or he wants to run for congress, how wonderful
! No word as to how they are going to go about getting us a new mayor, but Jack and I can't stand him so we are glad he is going.
Kelly called here last night after I had gone to sleep wanting to know if we were going to color eggs tomorrow. I had asked here about this a couple weeks ago and she never said so I let it drop. Thank goodness I bought eggs at the commissary, but she was at the store when she called getting food for an impromptu karaoke party she was having and wanted to know if she needed to buy Paas and I said yes. So we are going to color eggs. I had a lot of fun with him doing it last year so I am glad we are doing it but I have a lot to do today with cleaning house, baking cookies and now getting eggs boiled. Ahh well, the plight of a grandma, which you know I hate!
Susan: Hope Stan is coming along. I have my last dr appt on Monday before surgery so I hope he still says it is a go. We leave for Indiana in 12 days so of course I am all excited about seeing the kids and Jackson before I go in for surgery. The kids may come down here as Jack sister will be here and Jay wants my sil to see the baby, but he doesn't know for sure. I am already having the fidgets about my house having guests and the only person to keep it clean is my husband. My sil told Jack she thought maybe she should stay in a hotel because she didn't want me worrying about housework while I was in the hospital. Does my family know me or what???
I just always want everything to be perfect for everybody so I am always doing something to try and keep it that way and that just isn't how life is. At least Jack told her absolutely not that we have a guest room and she is staying at our house. If Jay and Alicia come down they always stay in a hotel so that wouldn't be a problem.
Jean: I desperately need a haircut, but am trying to wait until next week, maybe on Monday when I have a dr appt. My hair grows fairly quickly so I don't want it all grown out again by the time we go to Indiana. I have a lady I go to at one of these cheapo chain places, but sometimes I have to wait 45 minutes to an hour to get my haircut. I just take my knitting and knit. I always just give myself plenty of time and try to go first thing when they open.
The commissary was dead yesterday. I have never seen it with less people in it. It was nice not to have to fight with other customers in the aisles. There was one black lady that I think had her two grandsons with her, not sure about that one, but they were little hellions and all over the aisles and such and you would almost run over them because they ran free. Other than that I was able to get finished fairly quickly.
My shoes ran out....
I ordered these cute mary jane sandals from Lands End and they were too big so I sent them back and ordered a different style because the green I wanted was sold out. Well, the green in all 4 types sold out!!! So, no new shoes for me because I specifically wanted the green shoes. Since I will probably be convalescing for 6-8 weeks I am hoping they restock and I can order them for the remaining part of the summer later. I just wanted them to take to Indiana with me.
Have a wonderful Easter everyone.
