Hello, Hi, Howdy, Hiya, and Hey!!!!!
I feel like I've been running around like a crazy woman trying to get ready for this weekend. These last minute trips are fun but I am not ready. One good thing is that if I forget something my sister either has it or I know my way around, I can run and get it. She has lived in this area of Florida before, so it really is like a second home to me.
They had the estate sale family walk -thru for my grandma and grandpa's estate on Monday night. I went over right after work. It was held between 4-7pm and I took every minute of that----- plus. I just felt that I did not want anything to go unturned that shouldn't go out of the family. I was walking around with my sister on the cell phone trying to explain what was all there. It was sad, but touching with the memories. My cousin and one aunt are very sentimental as well, so between us, we got many of the really important things. I got alot of my grandma's crystal and her dining room mirror, which I have always loved. I have nowhere to put it right now, but at least I know I have it. My sister got their dining room chandelier. This is kind of funny----my sister used to always go over and sit out on the screened-in porch with my grandma and drink coffee, so I grabbed her old percalotor coffee pot for her. The actual estate sale is this weekend, and I'll tell you what, if I were to be in town, I would be right back over there making sure those "special" things are with the family.
I did a brief read-through but not sure if I have time to comment on everything, so hi to everyone in advance and if I have missed anyone/anything, I apologize, but know that I did read.
Amber-----wonderful pictures!!!!!! What great color and angles you are able to achieve. I love the one of the blurried castle with the focused rose.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!!
I'm sorry your mom made this an unfortunate memorable trip.
I know that you really wanted her to enjoy herself and make this special for her. You did your best.
Lesa----glad to hear that your bloodwork came out well (except for your cholesterol---still unbelievable!!)
Hope Maddie is feeling better. How's Brittany??
YM-----Awww, what a dashing young man!!!! The setting of the photo is beautiful. Did the boys have fun, or where they ickying at the thought of a wedding?? What are you going to do with your time now that the wedding is over?? Any brownies left, M, jr.?? I can't remember if you said that your sis went on a honeymoon?? Was this you on Monday??----->
I'm not sure if I'll have time to do a Target run before I leave, but what are the JE books besides Plum that you liked?? I want something to read on the plane and before bed when I'm in Florida. thanks, cupcake.
.....and for the 20th question............j/k.
Donna---thanks for the lovely breakfasts!!! You really know how to keep us cliquers happy.
I'm sorry you are feeling unda-the-wetha. This time of year is so pretty, but the spring colds really get you down.
You and DH make sure you drive safely-----lots of accidents around these parts lately. be safe.
HI NATHAN!!!!!!
Michele----that little punkin!!!! SOOOO CUTE!!!! Her nursery turned out adorable!! You did a great job. Why didn't we get to see pics of the plastic bag on your hair??
Give Lilly a big hug from her adopted DIS aunts (and uncles).
Linda--- Too cute about Kenny wanting to go see the dog during his soccer game. He definitely has some tricks up his sleeve!!
Underdog----thanks for the breakfast you served up the other mornin', too. We're always up for a midnight snack!!
Your 1904 ice cream cone edit-----St. Louis World's Fair, right??
-----I just may have an inside knowledge of that------location, not age. haha.
Lyzziesmom----I'm sure once Lyzzie steps foot on that plane, she won't be able to contain herself. She is so sweet to keep it under wraps for Emma's sake. I had to read her moo joke a couple of times before it clicked (remember who you're talking to
)
Hope you're feeling better too!!! two days!!!
don't forget your camera.
.........and I have a wonderful idea for your mom for mother's day------a clock.....seems like she has some trouble with time.
Ashley----so glad your tooth isn't feeling all that bad lately. Hopefully it will subside until after your trip when you can get it taken care of. How sweet of Jeremiah to bring you to get pampered.
DznyFan----yep, you raised Erin right!!! I'm sure she got their itinerary all straightened out. I'm glad she is doing so well with her knee.
Hope you are feeling a bit better as well.
....and a big shout-out to
Miss Maureen!!!!
Hi LIN, POZEY, NICOLE, YOLANDA, BONNIE, ANGELA, APRIL, SHERRI!!!! Hi to anyone I have missed.
p.s. I took my camera out to charge the battery for this weekend and started going through our pics from Feb. ahhh, good times!!!
I was smiling ear to ear.
have a good night everyone!!! off to sleepyland.
Way to go Erin
for her "itinerary meeting" and her knee healing so well!
that is awesome! 
I did enjoy the new pictures of Kenny playing in the mud! Hang in there...you and Milke and Kenny are absolutely a joy to know!
I can't remember what they found out about your thyroid. Hope you and Maddie are feeling better. I was going to suggest an allergy Dr or pulmonary Dr for Maddie. Sometimes the asthma stuff is just out of the pediatrician's league? 
Lilly is so precious!
plane leaves at 10:00ish in the morning
Hope your tooth continues to feel better. That was so sweet of Jeremiah!
Very bad girl. I just got most of Monday's laundry finished tonight.
My sister is in Barbados (sp). Oh...I had lots of bownies left over and like a good Martha I took them to my DS's school (the teachers are allowed homemade stuff). Hoped they liked them! Wow...did I answer everything? And...we did make some good memories in February!
I should get some rest now.
