Her First Easter

I could only post 5 photos on an entry so I had to split them up on two entries.

She requested money for her birthday, she's not big on cake so it's brownies instead. She doesn't like greeting cards but she's gets them anyway...ha.

I'm Back...

Ok, we made it back from my Mom and Dad's. Jack, I had to get up there before she threw away any of that incriminating stuff she had hidden...ha. She had some leftover juice from her friendship cake so I just got her drunk on that and she told all the secrets...ha. Just kidding, she poured it down the drain before I had a chance too...

I guess I took some of our bad luck up there. Her stove blew out the bottom element on Easter morning. They have been able to fix that in the past but this time it caused the eyes on top to stop working and when you turned one on, the light inside the oven came on...weird. Then the next morning the coffee pot wouldn't work. I hope the bad luck is over now.

I have been getting caught up on all the blogs since I have been back.
To let you know, I heard from Jun, she is doing fine, her repairs are taking longer than expected so she is without Internet. I know some of you were concerned about her. I hope she's back up and running before long.

And for the record, I was born in 1963. I got the hints off the Internet. I could have said the year Kennedy was assassinated but that would have been to easy. "C" has a birthday on the 21st, I'll have to change her age on my profile..

I'll go now,
Take care everyone,
Sheila

Happy Easter...

Hello Everyone,

I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter.

We are heading to the parents for a few days. The girls are on spring break next week.
Hubby and I swapped vehicles today to get them serviced. He works closer to where I get mine serviced and I am closer to where he gets his serviced. And guess what...he had a screw in his tire too...ha. Same tire as mine. But his wasn't going flat. I got it fixed today.
They are building a house down the road from ours, that is probably where they are coming from.

Oh and I will be a year younger on Sunday, I started counting backwards at 39. I'll give you some hints to the year I was born in...

Studebaker the US Car Maker goes out of business and Ends production.
Pope John XXIII dies.
AT&T introduces touch tone phones.
Lava Lamp or The Astro Lamp Launched by Edward Craven Walker.

Have a great weekend,
Sheila

Tires and flats...

Hello Everyone,

I got home from the store yesterday and I noticed my rear tire was going flat. I aired it up this morning and looked it over and found a screw in it. Can I blame it on my husband since he drove it a few days while his window was broken? ha..
Anyway, I took it to my tire guy (yes, I have a tire guy, this is not my first flat...ha) today to get it fixed and I think I might have witnessed a miracle or at least a divine event....... a Man, walked into the shop and with almost no shame asked for directions, he broke the man rule of never asking for directions. Another lady and I were laughing about it and another man in there said his Dad always said, 'You don't stop to ask directions until you run out of gas'....ha. Maybe he was asking before he completely run out of gas....

We are a little cooler and a bit windy here today.

I hope you have a nice day,
Sheila

Another Birthday...

At our house last summer

(his brother survived that hug...ha)

Hello all,

Happy Birthday to 'S'.

Our oldest grandson turns 6 today.

On a sad note, one of my oldest friends lost her Father Wednesday night, please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Seems like so many have sadness in their lives lately.

Take care,

Sheila

Lightning....

(not taken by me, I got it off the Internet)

Hello,

Thanks to everyone who left such nice comments for my Dad.

Nothing much going on here. The girls and I had our six month check-up at the dentist Tuesday, all is well.

When we lived in Kansas we used to get some pretty lightning storms, (if you can call lightning that). It seemed to run sideways. We did get ones that struck the ground, but when it was just in the sky it was nice to watch. I haven't noticed anything like that here. It all seems to run to the ground.

Enjoy the weekend,

Sheila
