Good morning all! Cloudy, probably rainy day today! We got all of Jean's rain and then some all day yesterday and through the night. Big thunderstorm that I slept through somehow.

I have got to try and get some of the housework done, but we shall wait and see how I feel. I am still taking meds for my allergies, but am beginning to think maybe I have a small cold. It isn't bad though so I will let my allergy meds get out of my system and take a dose of cold medicine and see what happens, maybe on Monday. I want to start walking again, but have to wait until the other problem is completely gone so I don't flare it up again.

We are just going to hang out at the house today. It is too nasty to do anything, there are no new movies we want to see and even if the baseball team was in town they can play in the rain.

Jean: I like Mary Kay too, but like I said, I don't buy all the stuff you use on your face and I have body lotion, Oil of Olay, that I really like for my skin. When my sister did the facial, I found their moisterizer made me sweat so it is too heavy for me. It might have been their foundation, but it seems lighter than the cheap stuff I use so I think it was the other stuff. My sister is not a big makeup user so it is funny to see her put it on. She still doesn't really use very much and I am an all the way gal! lol

Well, it is kind of boring here so not much more to talk about! Have a wonderful weekend all.

Good Afternoon, Flowers! I'm waiting for the washer and dryer to finish so I can start another round of laundry. With the last rain/snow the basement is cold and damp -- it's too cold to start the dehumidifier according to Bob. I just feel lazy today! I think this if the first weekend in six that we haven't hauled boxes, helped pack, moved stuff, or had the kids here. Bob has to sing in church tomorrow so think we will be home alone all weekend.

"Gma" -- We didn't get anything from the last storm that came in from the Rockies. I guess it swung south and then circled back up again. The sun is shining now, but it is supposed to be cloudy this afternoon. One just never knows any more that's for sure. Our weather can change in a matter of minutes so if we are leaving for any length of time we always put in a jacket, umbrella, snow brush, etc., whatever the season happens to be. Enjoy your "hanging out" day!

I hear the dryer so I am off! Have a great "rest of the day" and a super Sunday tomorrow!

Faye, Boy you have been busy...two trips! Hope you are feeling more 'normal' now and are back on track with your cleaning. The time is fast approaching when you will be the grandmother of 2. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the new little one.

Susan, It is good to hear that Stan is steadily improving. Eating better means he will have more energy. The improved dialysis is also great news. And to top it off you are still losing weight. Keep it up.

Jean: Yes, we in New England have the same saying....If you don't like the weather, wait a minute! Tomorrow we are due a Nor'Easter but it is to be all rain and wind in this part of the state. The coast will be bombarded because it will be a very high tide and with the rain and wind flooding is to be expected. This is supposed to last thru Monday with occassional rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. Here comes the flippers and gills and wet basements. They say Spring is just around the corner.....I'll believe it when I see it.

We just took delivery of 2 love seats for the living room. The chair is due in in 2 weeks. I love them! They are microfiber which is supposed to be very durable and also able to stand up to the full sun which is in the living room almost all day. We have a cadet blue carpet and the chair and love seats are Birchwood which is a medium tan...it goes very well together. It is nice to sit on the sofa and not go down to the floor....it old springs had sprung.

We got them just before Easter and had the whole crew over...I was on pins and needles but they didn't take any hits.

Take care.

Gloria, great to hear from you! Getting new furniture is always nice.

Jean, I know what you are going through - it was the same when we lived in Ohio.

Faye, Hope you are feeling better. I got a lot of knitting done over the weekend, it was just that kind of day yesterday and Saturday evening.

We've had rain, not nearly as much as they thought we'd have, and a lot of wind which will keep up until tomorrow. The water behind our house has risen a good four feet so, for today, we are living on a lake.

Susan, we have set up #18 if you want to move your current post. faye
