Good afternoon all. It has been raining all day here so it is a bit cooler, but it was 75 here yesterday, which is fine by me. I am certainly ready for spring.

I went on Sunday and got my nails done and wore sandals so they could do my toes too. I am ready for sandals and capris. I bought myself an outfit at QVC which is 3 sizes smaller than when I started on Belviq in October. It is a vest and skort and two tshirts. It is Quacker Factory, which I really like. I thought that if I lost about 20 lbs I could then wear it for late spring and summer. I thought I would try it on just to see how much more I needed to lose to wear it and it fit!!! I asked Jack if it looked too tight and he said no it looked great. The skort is great as it is a skirt all the way around and not just in the front with the shorts hidden underneath the skort. It comes to my knees so it isn't too short. I bought it in gray and the tshirts are white with rhinestones around the neckline and pink with rhinestones at the neckline.

I noticed they just picked up the trash so guess I will have to go out and get the can but it is thundering right now so I may just wait awhile.

Jean: I always hated Thomas's high school concerts because they were so disorganized and took 20 minutes to set up for the next group. We never stayed after he played and the first time we did and it was over around 10 PM! We stayed for his jr high and elementary concerts to the end. Since he quit band we don't even have to go now. He didn't want to be in marching band and they wouldn't let him play in band without joining marching so he quit. Glad you got you Ipad where it should be.

Maggie: We are getting what you had and there is more coming our way for several days. They said we could get 8-10 inches of rain, which means flooding. Ugh!

Gail: They have pretty cool adult coloring books these days. Do you use pencils or markers? I sent a bunch to my sister when she was in rehab after her stroke hoping it would get her mobility and stuff back. I do a devotional everyday from the evangelist Dr. Spurgeon. I really like it and it had a verse everyday too. It is very uplifting for me.

Well everyone, have a great afternoon!

Good Afternoon! We have another day of sunshine but it's cooler temperatures -- a spring jacket kind of day. It's hard to believe it's March. I spent the morning matching gift shop invoices, credits memos, and the Feb. bank statement. Today was lunch bunch and I have bell practice in a little while. We had an unnerving, frustrating thing happen yesterday. Bob had a voice mail on his office phone from a customer who has moved to South Dakota. When Bob called him, he started off by apologizing then said he had received and opened Bob's bank statement along with his own. It had Bob's name but this guy's address. We have three different accounts at this bank, and when Bob called the bank all three had the SD address. Bob went to the bank and the lady said the address change was made over the phone, with Bob's social security number, which Bob did not do. We don't know how the ss number could be there and correct, unless someone at the bank looked it up after the fact. Of course no employee name or initials on the transaction itself. One account is mine, one is Bob's business account, and one is the family trust from his mother. Our bank has been sold to another bank and all "paperwork" will be transferred in April, which makes me more than a little nervous. I never go there because the drive up is curved and I never get close enough to the drawer, but Bob cashes checks there. There is never the same two people working, and it seems to be a training place for young employees. They don't count the money back so Bob sits there and counts it before he drives away. Anyhow, when he got back to the office he called the head guy in the main bank in another town and explained what happened. Of course everyone is "so sorry!" Bob just said it was lucky for them that the guy who got our statements was honest and Bob knew he could trust him.

Maggie, hope you have your new light and a new microwave by now. Will send happy vibes to you!

Gail, hope you got all of your errands done and have had a feel good day all day! I have noticed adult coloring books popping up in gift shops. Fun!

"Gma," I am ready for sandals and capris too! My so-called tan peeled away around my ankles; looked like I had a skin disease! How fun to go down in clothes sizes! Maddy decided playing a flute was boring so now she's hauling a French horn back and forth every day.

I need to change clothes and decide what's for supper. Maybe it will be Bob's night to cook! Enjoy the rest of your day! :wave:

Happy Thursday morning! Going to be another day hitting 80 outside. This is perfect weather! Of course, its too early in the year for it to stay at this temp in Delaware but I'll enjoy it while it's here!

Well. Yesterday. I didn't get all my errands done. Got into a tiny fender-bender. I haven't a clue who is to fault--probably both of us. Of course, her Dodge Grand Caravan did not get damaged but my vehicle got a tiny boo-boo.

Either my computer just deleted a whole paragraph or this website did it. Or my fingers hit some button....

Gonna try this one more time...

Donna and Jean, I echo you both--I'm so ready for Spring, wearing capris, shorts, sandals and pedicures! I love coloring books by Angie Grace which I buy from Amazon (do not see these in stores) and I like ultra thin markers. Right now I use Staedtler markers--very thin tips. I do have a lot of pencils which I have bought from AC Moore, Michaels, and Amazon. Markers and pencils can be extremely expensive and of course I like the expensive ones. Just like yarn--I like the expensive stuff...so I do a lot of sale shopping. I have a LOT of books...just like I have a LOT of yarn. And I've given both away to friends. I can't say it's all my fault as Wayne instigates my hobby but I suspect that is to relieve his self-inflicted guilt of buying remote control airplanes.

Okay...hope this takes...
