It has been a good day. I had weight watchers this morning and was resigned to the fact that I would probably have a gain ~ as I haven't been making the best choices here lately. But ~ I was plesantly suprised to have lost almost 2 pounds.
Then, DD ~ Sara, DS ~ Jason and DGD ~ Maddie showed up and we visited a bit then made plans for a picnic later. We did it today for mother's day, because Jason has to work tomorrow.
So, we planned a menu, went to the store and got the stuff, then came home and fixed up the sandwiches. Made it easier to get the stuff ready, then just take it to the park for a picnic. Grilling out is nice, but sometimes just taking a lunch there and not having to go to all the trouble of grilling is fun too.
We went to one of the local parks then ~ early evening. That turned out to be a good choice ~ it wasn't as hot by then, and there was a little breeze. The picnic table was by a pond ~ it was beautiful and such a nice time getting to be with my kids and grandkids.
That post above Donna ~ I was suprised to see it ~ not sure how it got there. I am thinking that I had logged in to 3FC and was about to make a post when Sara, Jason and Maddie showed up. I heard Maddie say something about she was doing something with my computer. I didn't think anything of it at the time ~ had forgotten I had started to do something. But how she managed to hit all the right things and make a post is beyond me (she is 3 1/2). Maybe mommy or uncle Jason finished it for her just for the fun of it. I may never know
Having trouble keeping my eyes open ~ guess I'll head to bed.
Take care
The sun is out here, and hopefully will stay out for a while. Yesterday was an extremely weird day - sunny in the morning, and then heavy rain/thunder/lightening interspersed with short periods of sun throughout the afternoon and early evening. Of course, everything has started to get very green from all the rain, so that's pleasant, but there was no bike riding yesterday 
, and it's unlikely that there will be any today unless it stays sunny and dh & I can go out for an hour or so when I get back from my Mother's Day festivities with my daughters. We - mother, daughters, and their mother-in-laws - are going to go to a movie together and then out for a nice early supper. The men will take responsibility for the children for the day, and dh will look after the cats like usual 
. Yesterday I made a good-sized dent in changing up winter clothes for summer - got most of the winter clothes into piles - several (huge) piles for the cleaner, another few (huge) piles of things that I only wore once - like suit jackets and skirts or pants - that I can put in my own dryer in a bag with those Dryel dry cleaner sheets and then into the vacuum bags for storage. I don't know how I managed all those years before they came out with those vacuum bags - I have a closet by my back door that I use just to stack those vacuum bags in from floor nearly to ceiling with alternating summer or winter wardrobes. So, I got a majority of my winter stuff out of the closets, and plan this morning to get as much of my summer stuff out as I can. A lot of it will need ironing before I can hang it up. Oh, blah. Hmmm. Will also make a nice pot of pea soup for dh to share with ds for their dinner. That and some wheat Cibatta bread and cheese if they want. I bought two big ham steaks at the grocery store yesterday, and will cube them up into the soup along with onions and carrots. Yum. One of my favorite meals, actually.
