Hi Everyone!

[DianaB]

I couldn't get it to show. What you can do is on FB click on "share" under your neice's pictures and it will come up again under your name. Then we can see them on FB but we won't be able to post anything....just look at the pictures.

I made that fruit salad for supper this evening. I had a couple of handfuls of grapes, a couple of kiwis, and four strawberries that I chopped up and sprinkled part of a package of strawberry jello on it. It was so good and fresh!! In the summer I like to put cantaloupe in it too!!

I did what you said Diana so they are on my profile page - so you can see them on FB. Sorry I couldn't make them show here.

[DianaB]

I'll go take a look!!!

[DianaB]

Still can't see it. Your niece must have her settings set where other's can't see it. So how did she happen to get to go to the White House Easter Egg Hunt? That had to be really special!!!

[Janet]

Didn't get to see them either. That would have been so fun to be at the White House egg roll. How wonderful for them.

Diana, I would love to make a fruit salad with your suggestion. I'm not a big fruit eater, but if I could choose the ones I like...how yummy.

She has a friend with Big Time connections to the Hill, so she got her tickets. Sorry you can't see the pictures.

Here's a video of her friend's son playing BB with President Obama later that day. He's the blonde headed boy with the blue shirt. You have to watch about half of the video before you see the BB playing.

That is so exciting! The WH egg hunt and basketball with the Pres!!! Good for her!

Our Easter was lovely. I missed church. I cut my toe up badly and it took too long to bandage it and so on, so I just went over to Jessie's after church. We had time to visit and chat, which was lovely. The kids were great too.

My ex husband was there. I'm going to have to get used to his being around. He is moving around the corner from Jessie. Boo!!! It's not terrible, but I'd rather he wasn't around. We get along, but I think he still loves me so it's uncomfortable, plus he annoys the crap out of me! Talk about freezing my eyeballs!

Yesterday, I went to a new friend's house for coffee, and then to a Writers in the Mountains Board meeting. I was asked to join the Board. I am very happy about this. I love the people in WIM. I'm also having a Board meeting of the Catskill Womens' Network in my house in a couple of weeks. This is the first time I'm really having friends over in a group. I'm excited!

I decided to buy 2 weeks worth of Lean Cuisine meals for dinners and lunches.
Luckily, they were on sale! I think it cost about $100, which isn't bad for 2 weeks of meals! I lost 2 pounds already. I don't know how I am going to eat after I lose the 10 to 12 pounds I want to, but I decided not to worry about it right now. One thing at a time.

We're getting ready for Kassidy and Brandon's communion on May16th. I offered them $500 to help pay for some of it. They were so happy! It really is my pleasure to give it to them. I really don't have it right now, but decided not to worry. I'll get some savings together again. I'll post pictures of the clothes soon.

Well, I went to the garden center today, got beneficial nematodes, seeds, compost, fertilizer, and plants! Now, I just need it to stop raining so I can plant and fertilize!

Actually it stopped today during the day and I it would have been a good time to put everything down (not the plants though, too wet), but I was afraid it would come a gully washer later today and everything would end up in the neighbors yard

And it did rain pretty hard a while ago - it might not have washed to the neighbors yard, but better safe than sorry, I guess.

Hopefully the forecast tomorrow will be better. Light rain would be great, but no gully washers!

It's 34 degrees this morning....brrrrr. Not sure how warm it's suppose to get today...I think in the 50's. It was in the 50's yesterday, but the wind was blowing so hard it felt much much cooler. I didn't venture out much except when I let the doggies outside. I don't like the wind much...it just dries me out so bad. Now breezes.....love them...lol I know picky picky.

Not sure what I'm going to do today. Don't really want to do anything too strenuous...lol, but there is so much that needs done outside. I am glad I haven't planted flowers yet. I would have been scurrying to get them covered last night.

I got my compost put down around my trees, and I'll put down the beneficial nematodes this evening. I'm going to wait a couple of days to put down the fertilizer, I don't want to harm the nematodes. Even though the fertilizer is organic, it might cause harm to the nematodes and I need them to do their job of eating flea and fire ant eggs!!!
