Couldn’t pick just one.




I will not complain about 55 degrees anymore.




Wow....masks and ears. They are awesome. So great that the masks are versatile for use alone or with N95.




It’s so sad so many things have to be put on hold.




There is an issue with this machine I bought. It just breaks a needle out of the blue every once in awhile. I need to take it back and do exchange for another one, Will have to call Joann Fabric. My sister thinks there is something wrong underneath were needle is going in.




Sounds yummy.




There is always another time to win for sure. Wine is a great consolation.

Yeah.....to your chocolate Easter Egg hunt.


Miss not having everyone over for Easter. We will plan a get together at some point in future when it’s safe to do so.

Hubby wanted some chili. So made a pot yesterday evening and we had an egg salad sandwich to go along with it. I made him some peanut butter cookies. I found this recipe for the cookie in a Taste of Homes magazine and it is the best peanut butter cookie recipe.

I need to clean the gas grill today. Going to grill some steaks for Easter Dinner this evening.

We usually have everyone over for dinner and have a Easter Egg hunt for the littles. Will miss that.

Hubby said he wanted a country breakfast for brunch.

We watched the Wizard of Oz last night. Going to watch The Adventures of Robin Hood with Basil Rathbone and Errol Flynn this evening. An oldie, but goody.

Watched online church. It was a good service.

Wishing all the Sans family a blessed Easter.

Sweet Jellybean

Can’t find replacement tank of propane. Everywhere here out for last 3 weeks. Strange

I still made a nice spread, turkey & ham with plenty of sides and pumpkin pie and jello parfaits. Hey, gotta work that pantry lol. Packaged 2 boxes of it up for two of my kids’ households and just delivered. My new nick name is Gruber. Grandma uber lol

The eldest DS had a brunch today for a few family members and friends (don’t get me started. Dont care if socially distancing or not, it was a supremely stupid idea). No food for them, they will have plenty of leftovers. GD will get dropped off soon here for the week. Will wait to eat with her as ‘expendable/essential’ DH Already Headed into work.

will say it was challenging to find the groceries I needed today. going thru the ritual of cooking a holiday meal has given me the morale boost I was sorely needing. This, too, shall indeed pass. Hope you all experienced some bright spots today to recharge!

Happy Easter to all!

I actually have today off for the first time in all the 9 years I've worked in the garden center.

We celebrated today by grilling out and shortly we will play bingo with small prizes to add to the fun. It's just 4 of us Danielle, Trey, me and their dad. We all see each other most days so no added exposure to worry about. It's so nice to be able to relax and enjoy the day.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day

Hello I just want to wish a Happy Easter to my SANS Family. May everyone have a blessed day.

Happy Easter Quiet day here. But sunny. I attended Easter Sunday service via Zoom. Baked the family oatmeal choc chip cookies this afternoon.
Had our Easter dinner yesterday, just mr, me, older sister and brother-in-law. Missed having youngest,fiance, and her BFF and husband over.
Husband bought a ham from our fav butcher. It was very good. The usual sides, yams, white potatoes, green bean casserole, and the ham. Glazed with Maple Syrup and mustard. Very yummy. Key Lime pie dessert!
Left overs tonight.

 

[tink1957]

Mac...looks like some bad weather is headed your way...take care and stay safe

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. Hope everyone has a nice Easter Sunday. Ours was very lazy. We had a Zoom meeting with our Sunday school class, lunch from a local hibachi place, and then I napped. I will probably be awake most of the night, but I don't have to go into work tomorrow. I think dh and I will start binge watching a show tonight.

Did i mention that I talked (well, texted) with my brother and he and his finacee have decided to change their wedding date? Since they can't get married on the beach like they had planned, they decided to just get married on the steps of their church this Friday. I have already decided that once we are past the virus crisis I will schedule a trip to GA. I would really like to meet my new SIL.

Dh has gone out in search of food. Tomorrow I start cooking again.

Aww, this afternoon I heard fire trucks close to home every so many 10 or so minutes. I was like, must be a big fire close. Thinking high school or other. Well, was taking the trash out, and saw the first big fire truck start up our only street entrance. Thinking the fire is up our street, except they were going slow. Second truck had the Easter Bunny and friend waving to all. Last truck behind the Bunny truck was also loud. Sweet of our local fire station.

Steak on the grill, fresh tomatoes and pan fried on the grill some green peppers and onions. Very tasty meal, with a steak and 1/2 one left. We were hungry. Cooked 4 large ones.

With that, a nice quiet night, and all are in mode getting ready for work and school tomorrow. Yeah, and storm warnings issued for the morning tomorrow, with damaging 60 mph winds. Eek, glad no commute for me, and hope my trash cans stay upright before being empty after the trash truck dumps them.

Good night all.

Charade I’ve heard of several couples that just decided to get married anyway, with just immediate family present. Then having the reception later. Have you face timed or Skyped with them? That will be a fun trip when you’re able to go to GA! I haven’t been in ages. Does your brother live near Mac?

Lynne how fun that the Firemen did that! The Easter Bunny came! This is the first year my community hasn’t put on the traditional Easter egg hunt. We used to go when my girls were that age. It was always fun. The Easter Bunny was there, and there was always hot coffee and donuts for the parents.
I hate wind storms! Hope there’s no damage or power out. Stay safe.

The original plan was to get married on the beach at St. George Island in Florida on 5/19 and then have a reception on 5/30. They haven’t cancelled the reception yet, but I have a feeling it will get postponed until later. My brother lives about an hour and 45 minutes from Mac.
No video chats yet. So far we have only texted. He did send me a picture of the two of them though.

I woke up a little while ago to the sound of very heavy rain. It seems to have stopped for now, but we may get more storms later in the morning.

We are huge fans of Basil Rathbone movies.....any of them, although some are turkeys!!! But he is the definitive Sherlock Holmes for us.....we watch them regularly on miserable winter days......or days like this as our weather sucks today!!!

Glad you`re doing ok and yes, it`s a shame you couldn't have the usual Easter with family…...we understand of course, but doesn't make it any easier.....

Glad the food was good Keisha....your food always sounds delicious!!! Yes, I agree cooking yesterday, as it was similar to a Christmas dinner for us was a lot of fun...….yes, it will pass.

LOVE the Gruber reference.…….long as they don't prefix it with Hans......lol...….

Happy Easter!
Hope all are having a great day.

dominoes pizza for us later tonight
Sunday ritual

We had pizza Saturday night and it was divine......local place though....Domino`s in the UK sucks!!! Massively overpriced and tasteless......don't know anyone of my friends that use them over here, but glad you enjoy them.

Hope your weather doesn't get too bad as forecast......

Happy Easter to all!

Good to see you Vicki.....and glad you finally got an Easter off and had such a good day!!! Food sounds good too......say hi to your lovely kids from me......

Steaks always sound good!!!! Hope you don`t get hit hard with the incoming storm, looks nasty!!!

So, it`s not a Holiday today where you are today? It`s a four day weekend for Easter here. Bank Holidays are Good Friday and Easter Monday....Kyle isn't due to start work again till tomorrow......from home of course.




Yesterday was a nice day in the end......sun came out and we enjoyed some beautiful turkey.

Zoomed with friends and family who we miss terribly...….we have lived away from our families in different places almost since we got married, but during holidays and such you feel the distance more. But, at least we know we are keeping each other safe. Get togethers will happen again.

Mum has free calls on her mobile phone for the duration of this, I was telling mac over the weekend, she called me about six times one day alone lol....nice though.....but yesterday she called as she was worried about her friend who lives two doors down from her. She wasn't answering her phone and of course she`s not supposed to be out anywhere.........eventually she was so worried she called friends daughter who casually said oh she`s here for Easter dinner...… So was the husbands father......all from different households......crazy!!! Mum gave her such a talking too on the phone last night. All of them have underlying health issues too. Not quite sure what folks are thinking...….

We had some people on the news break the quarantine rules, but not too many....there`s always the few though who think rules don't apply to them.

Today we have grey skies and it`s windy, not stormy type but very cold. it`s 40f but feels colder. Won`t be going out walking in the woods today and maybe the folks who were breaking quarantine will stay in.

Washing machine is on......but no other housework to be done....all up to date. The lady who came to clean our home before all this started, was supposed to be being kept on for certain things, but of course that's been postponed. Will get her back as soon as we can.

Turkey noodle soup for lunch today.....and spicy chicken, pineapple and ginger stir fry for me for dinner tonight......my guys want fish and chips.....we portioned up the turkey last night and froze around four other meals for three....large turkey after all.

Day of tv and trying not to snack...….even harder when it`s colder. Before this virus started I sorted out all my books and had all new shelving units fitted in a different room for them all....took me weeks to do it all as I have an awful lot of books.....I said last night, I wished I`d waited till now as it would pass some more time and it`s something I love doing.....Tom said he`s not moving them all back!!!! No, maybe not. But, I think everyone is trying to find things to do to help pass the time.....

I did try to organise our book group to work through Zoom....but only 5 of us wanted to do it....and a couple of the women don`t have computers....in this day I`m always surprised at that.

But, have a good Monday.....

While our banks might be closed, it is not a Federal holiday here, Schumi. Though if the local kids were still going to school many would have had the day off. My local school always had the Thursday through Monday off for Easter break. Sigh, the Spring is the longest time between holidays. Next holiday off is our Memorial Day, at the end of May.

Before my alarm went off, I woke up, as oh it's raining. Did go back to sleep, alarm did go off, and by the time I got out of the shower, much louder rain has been falling and is continuing still. Rain is beating on my windows. Roads sound very wet. Stormy yes, and thanks Schumi. We are hunkered down and dry. And I have my tea. And yep, it certainly feels like a Monday.

Enjoy your Easter sweets today.

And an awww, my second oldest niece sent a picture of her two young kids all dressed up. And my nephew sent one of his three kids, with matching dress clothes. So cute to see all my great nieces and great nephews. Yeah, and it was sad not to do our normal get together and finding baskets and eating too much food. But was a perfect enough Easter, as we were all enjoying our own families, and sharing phone calls and pictures. And yeah, I have to say, as little one is no fan of ham, I tend to not cook it much either, as I have to be in the mood for it. So, steak on the grill with the warmest of days this week, was a happy Easter for us. And while we did not hide baskets or eggs, candy did make an appearance, with some still to be enjoyed today. Like with my tea. LOL. (true though )

 

[Sue M]

Well almost 4:00 am here. Ugh. Haven’t slept well tonight, and still holding on to a shred that I may somehow get back to sleep maybe for a couple hrs

Easter Monday here, a bank holiday. Not that it matters much this year as most businesses are closed and schools too.

I think it will be another sunny day here. I’ll go at 10:00 to pick up my mask a community group is sewing for people. Then need to pick up a few items at grocery for my soup. Making a ham soup. The bone should make a nice soup. And some garden clean up needs doing.

Have a good day Sans. I’m going to try to get back to sleep!

Happy Day after Easter. Hope everyone had a good day. Very low key for us. Got up in the morning and made chocolate peanut butter eggs. I had some beautiful strawberries so I dipped a few in the dipping chocolate I had leftover. I was so tired last night I forgot about them so I guess I will have to eat them tonight Made my pot of spaghetti and sent some to my mom and father in law. It wasn't my best day of cooking. I tried to make individual banana puddings to take to my mom and FIL but my first batch of pastry cream did not come out and the second batch only made enough for one. I was running low on eggs so no banana pudding for them. I made them both a dozen bite sized peanut butter eggs so I was still able to send them something sweet.

A very nasty day today. Wind and storms in the forecast for today. We are under a tornado watch until this afternoon. High near 80 but will cool off the rest of the week.

Leftover spaghetti for dinner tonight. I have to use up some bananas so I may make some banana bread tonight. Once that is gone, diet begins. I am starting to get my double chin back...ughh

Did about a week of reorganization of useless stuff in the rooms and with that job done, started back doing genealogy.
Once I start tracing roots, time gets away from
me and it’s hours later before I take a break on it.

I used to spend countless hours doing genealogy and still dabble in it when I can. Time can certainly get away from you but it is fascinating.

 

[RAPstar]

What day is it? Who am I?

 

[KStarfish82]

Good morning!

Hope everyone is healthy and well!

Hopefully those who celebrate had a great Easter!
