DDA Chapter 27

Happy Easter!!!


Elin-how wonderful of your student & dad to do the mulch! So nice of them!

I was surprised to read of all the allergies. We still don't have any leaves out yet. I'm sure the pollen will arrive someday......

It has been cold (40s) and rainy. Today was delightful! Sunny and 70s. We had a nice day. I made the girls skirts yesterday. I was putting it off because Lizzy wanted a layer of stretch/sparkly tulle over her skirt. Wasn't sure how I was going to do that but she since she doesn't ask me to make her much I figured I should try. In the end it turned out cute and she loved it so that is what really matters. My SIL was here from St Louis so it was great to see her.

I did some work that needed to be done. I've gone another project I should work on but I'm not up for that. Work is still so crazy. Everyone is so miserable. They fired a 35 year employee last week so everyone is all worried again about who will be next.

The tornados and hail don't usually hit us this hard, but we've had sirens probably a dozen times since New Year's Eve when tornados touched down a mile or so from us. I'm done with this craziness already!

I was talking to my SIL today and she said the same thing-the NYE one was about 1 mile from her house. I wonder if you are very close to each other. She flies home tomorrow and was able to get her SW boarding pass this afternoon so I would think that is a good sign.

Wow! She must be. The smaller NYE one was a mile from me and the bigger one less than 5 miles.

Good morning, DDA!

Our day started bright and early with a trip to the ER. Bob's PEG tube came out! Scared the you-know-what out of me!! He is now the proud owner of a brand spankin' new one and instructions on how to deal with it next time so that a trip like that is not required. It is going to be a L O N G day here, I fear!

Hope you all have a good day. Our weather is gorgeous!

I'm sorry to hear that you had so much excitement so ealry in the day. It sounds like it was easily resolved though scary. I'm happy to hear that.

Thoughts are with you!

I hope everybody had awesome weekends!! I actually had two days off in a row so we did nearly nothing yesterday and today. We literally went to church cooked and ate dinner and lazed around yesterday.

Today we left the house. Abi needed a new euphonium...really. The poor girl's other instrument was on it's 6th life of 7. So we had seen a great one a couple of months ago in a music store in a close by town. I made sure that it was a good deal by looking around (those suckers are expensive) and decided that today was the day to pick it up. I think the sales man was very surprised when we came in and picked the instrument, kapo and a birthday present for Cassidy out in less than 5 minutes.Probably the quickest and easiest commission (if he gets one) he's ever made.

We then went to the Appalachian Music store down the street to "window" shop...after hearing twice in the little walk to and in the store "I miss having a dulcimer" I had decided that, if they were reasonably priced I would get one. Well....there is now no room in her bedroom for anything else...2 guitars, 1 euphonium (other one is at school), a dulcimer, a music stand. Seems like I am missing something.

Work has gotten to the point that I will be taking some of my concerns to corporate so it was nice to have a relatively quiet weekend (Mary Ellen...Mark's mom is a little caustic but it could be worse). I have a very strange schedule this week and next but I am still hoping to get some resumes out!!

Good Morning DDA!!!

Good morning, DDA!

Good morning! I hope everyone had a good holiday! We enjoyed having my parents here. They left yesterday, but will back back in June for Alyssa's dance recital.

The kids went to their dad's Saturday night, and I survived my first Easter without them. The Easter Bunny made his appearance Friday night since they wouldn't be here Easter morning. This week they are on Spring Break, and I'll be off with them the next two days. Maybe we'll go see Rio.

Ok I just have to get this out...

I wish the media would stop comparing Kate to Princess Diana!!!! There is NO comparison & it drives me nuts.

Ok, I 'm done...thanks.

Good morning! It's FREEZING here! I think, though I'm not positive, because I haven't been outside, yet, that we lost all our fruit this morning. I had my apricot, plum, pear and peach trees blooming, and I'm pretty sure we lost them overnight! Boo!!!!! Oh well, someday it will be spring, here.

Hope everyone else is having sunny weather.

No, there's not! I think that Kate learned a lot from watching and hearing about Diana, so she's starting out with a much greater advantage! However, she's still young, and has a lot to learn. I'm eager to watch it all happen!

I agree!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning.

Elin, what is that in your signature???

I'm trying not to pay to much attention to the Royal Wedding. I'm still bitter that I didn't get an invite. However, I'm sure I will tune in, at least to the replays, just to see what everyone is wearing and how they look. I'll be able to catch a little of it live as I'm getting ready for work.

Good morning, DDA! As usual, I'm running late. And there is nothing exciting happening around here.
