I kept thinking of Lindsay yesterday! And it must have worked its way to TX ...

It is so nice to see old friends stopping by. It's added some sunshine to an otherwise gloomy day. At least we aren't getting more snow, but it is still cold and very much overcast.
Busy afternoon coming up. Colby and my Dad both have doctor's appts this afternoon and Dad has asked me to go with him. He is really struggling with his COPD and has so much trouble doing anything without becoming out of breath. From there I'll head off to 3 1/2 hours of lacrosse. I need to register all of the boys tonight Chris will need to leave lacrosse at some point to pick up Nick after his lacrosse practice. I think I'll have him pick up a pizza on the way that way dinner will be out of the way before 9 PM.

Good morning, DDA!

YAY! Glad she finally got to come home. And that weather deemed it allowable the time.

We've got snow forecast for today too - 2-5 inches too. Blech!

Fabulous. Enjoy every second of your visit. I'm sure that Bob is excited too

Hi, DDA,

Long, long, long time no talk!

So good to hear from you!

Busy day for us. Hunter was in the school play this year. They did Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Hunter was James, one of Charlie's school friends as well as a squirrel (the play has squirrels instead of geese). There was a performance for the school yesterday and public performances last night, this afternoon and tonight. They were also having a bake sale during intermission to help fund the performances. I made 2 dozen cupcakes on Thursday for it. I was busy with Lacrosse yesterday so I couldn't see it or help out. My parents and my great aunt and uncle went last night. They raved about how good it was. Today when I dropped Hunter off I went in and offered to help. I ended up doing hair and makeup for the first performance then realized that we would have no food for tonight's intermission so I came home and baked for 3 1/2 hours. I made chocolate cupcakes, whole wheat raspberry flavored cupcakes both with a raspberry flavored homemade frosting as well as brownies in mini muffin tins with the same frosting. I bought those in for the evening performance and helped again with hair and makeup before sitting down to enjoy the show. They did a fantastic job

Good morning, DDA!

Hunter looks great, Deb! Isn't amazing how great middle and high school plays can be? You have been very busy.

Elin, I'm so glad that you had a weekend with both of your girls!

Not too much happening around here this weekend, and yet it has gone by too fast.

Guess which one I like better....

We were lucky and did not get snow. Not sure about Tuesday!!!

Stephanie took me to Longwood Gardens yesterday and I took over 100 pictures. They had orchids on display and they were just beautiful.

For those that haven't heard, my mother-in-law went on the next step of her journey on Wednesday. Though we are going to miss her terribly, we are happy that she is with her beloved husband and no longer stuck in a body that is failing. The church memorial service is next Saturday in Eagle River. She did not want anything to do with a funeral home - made us all promise. We are trying to make sure her wishes are followed.

Even though you know she is in a better place I know it is still painful for you all, Vicki.

Good morning, DDA!

We had a great, but way-too-short weekend with Kathrin.

That's wonderful! I loved the picture of her arrival.

Ok, has anyone ever heard of this? My sister-in-law is bringing her new boyfriend and two friends up for the memorial service and they will be staying at mom's house. Chuck & I and our girls were also planning to stay there. Does that seem strange to you? These are strangers to us. My MIL & FIL did love to have people over. The more the merrier. But for a memorial service for the matriarch of the family? I'm trying to just go with the flow and if it doesn't bother Chuck, I just want to go with it but it is typical for my SIL - not to consider the feelings of others involved.
