Easter was a beautiful Day - just took Mother home...we had a delicious dinner and a good day.....

We have not yet told her we were diving again, good thing with 2 deaths off of the coast yesterday, No, they were not us......

Church was packed this morning.....standing room only...our traditional breakfast place had burned so we had an alternative - ummm - yummy - I had eggs with 'sparagras and truffle hollidaise - yum - yum...then a drive along the coast to pick up Mother and home....to a boutiful day of eats and drinks....

Hope you all had such a good time...

Karen - you can go to Hawaii via II but the week long trade outs are on the other islands. On Oahu there are some concierge level hotels but not worth our DVC points. We'll be spending cash for this one and hope to use our points for a DVC event or a week in Fall at WDW.

Mary - we Love Hawaii -- been there three trips and will be gald to "talk and talk" about our 'xperiences ---maybe by the pool?

Happy Easter, Yes this part of the World was so Nice that we all ended up in the Pool after dinner, air Temp was 84 pool temp was 80...AAAHHHHH so relaxing, too bad we have to go to work tomorrow...

Nope -- too cold for me....must wait until after Memorial Day to dip toe into water......

 

[chip&dale&fun]

And you didn't mention how terrific dinner was... but then again, you cooked it, not me! Tequila-Lime Grilled Lamb, ham, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, and pistachio/pineapple cake. Yum!!!! Can't beat Easter afternoon by the pool!

Here's the kids test-driving their cruise clothes this morning...

They are very cute....you think that they will stay that way til the cruise.....maybe they should - um, - take off the good clothes for 37 days?????

Weather seems to be turning here, trees are blowing and I hope we are not in for a big storm.

See, there ya go. That's a good reason for us to stay in Ohio. There are so many crappy weather days, it's not such a bad thing to go to work. At least you aren't missing anything besides the clouds and rain!!!

Wow. Should have saved that for one of your personal milestone posts. That was profound!

We're just back from Mike's dad's house. Had a good time. Ate great food. Played some games. Diagnosed peoples mental issues.

Cleaned a lot of windows....was showing off this cloth I got from the home and garden show. I was very skeptical when I saw it, but it really is a miracle cloth. AMAZING. Cleaned about 7 of their windows and then gave it to them. They can clean the rest!

Well as you know I eat just about anything, but since you thought it was good that is all that matters...another recipe that came out fine without ever trying it...since my lucky streak is still in tact...plus you made the dessert which was very good!!!

Good for you trying something new!! Next time you order prime rib in a restaurant you can say to yourself "mine is better"!

The fun part of cooking is trying something new. If it doesn't work, don't do it again. If it does, great. You have a new recipe.

I agree, but the problem I have is I have so many recipes, I never go back and use the same one twice...so once I have tried it I move on to another, there are a few select items I will make over again, for special occasions..One is a 3 layer Brownie whip cream type dessert...very simple to make..if anyone might be interested let me know and I can post it...

And here I was going to offer you dinner.

Last night while making dinner Lisa and I made crab cakes for today from the left over crab. Today we cooked the crab cakes and had it with capre salad. After that no one wanted the NY strips. We put them in the refrig for tomorrow.

It ended up being a light cooking night. I need to keep that in mind for the future. Give them a couple of apps. and they might be done for the night.

Maybe Matt is starting to save room for the cruise.

Sounds like an invite for tomorrow night!! NY Strips, I will have KIKIPUG distract your dog and I will help you cook and EAT them

Well, as many of these conditions are familial, I don't want to reveal them as you may all judge Mike (as if judging him for peeing cat litter isn't bad enough---btw, we shared that story tonight and it was good for some laughs....ok, MANY laughs!)

Meow.....

We do rib Mike b/c many people in his family are on some sort of anti-anxiety medication. There is a lot of anxiety in them family (maybe it all stems from being related to Mike ) ANYWAY....on the way over I said..."hey, at least no one in MY family has any diagnosed mental problems." And Mike said "KEY WORD.....DIAGNOSED!"

Yeah, that's even worse since they aren't DIAGNOSED, they also aren't being TREATED!

 

[ohiominnie]

Ok, time to put the kiddos to bed, then Mike and I are going to watch an "adult movie." (that's what the kids call them....we're trying to get them to say "GROWN UP" movie!! )

I think it'll be Flightplan....

COOL....a U TOP with the kids, Mike and adult movies!

Great news everyone. I found the gift cards. Even though I had looked in this drawer last night, I looked again and found them.

We went to church and then out to lunch w/MIL. I came home and took a nap. After the nap I started looking again, and walaa, I found them. I thought for sure they were in a Disney bag, but they were slipped in with some papers in one of my drawers, along with the gift receipts. I am in such a better mood right now, knowing that I didn't lose $50.00.

WOO-HOO!!!! So glad you found them!!!
