Adios March!

Are you as surprised as I am that March is 

already coming to a close??

Sadly, we are ending it in Nebraska just as we started it -

with snow forecast!

Just say NOOOO!

Bye Bye March!

In other random news, little granddaughter Dorothy

turned 3 yesterday!

Ahhhh - I remember the day she was born and I spilled

the beans that "it's a girl" before they told me not to tell

the kids!  OY!

They'll never forget how Mimi screwed that one up! :)

We'll be celebrating Dorothy's birthday on Sunday

with pancakes, waffles, Eggs Benedict and bacon! 

Always bacon! Yum!

(These photos were borrowed from their family b-day celebration!)

And next year, we'll have another March birthday to celebrate -

Baby Gloria is now 3-1/2 weeks old already!

In more random news,

Mads and I  tried our hands at a crafty little Easter egg

project recently!

Craft eggs with Modge-Podged designs.

Gorgeous, right?

I hope to get a few more done over the weekend . . . 

instead of cleaning closets and drawers.

Avoidance is one of my best attributes!

How about you? 

 What's up this weekend?

Bye Bye March!

Wow -- did March just zip by for you too?

Even though it was a long month with 

31 long days, it seems to have 

marched by rather quickly!

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile rolled into town --
their license plate  - "Big Bun"

I've had a bit of blogger's block this month.

Just got busy with lots of

little work things -- office-work, housework, yardwork and . . . 

homework!
And am afraid I didn't get as much accomplished as I hoped
due to a recurring whopper headache! :(

So happy spring break starts soon and hoping

for a break from the homework -- especially math!

Is it just me or did math get really hard

in the last few years??

Photo from May 2014 - - aren't they adorable!

Looking forward to watching

these 3 little ones on Wednesday night this week
and spending time with them again at
Easter Sunday brunch!
Yum!

Ups and Downs and Bits of Randomness

Hello Friends!
I've had a few posts percolating in my brain
for the last week, but none have actually
been completed.
Soooo, I'm going to combine a bunch of randomness and call it good.

Mads and I were starting to go a little stir crazy earlier this month
during a cold spell

so we went off to the "I Love My Dog" expo!

The highlight was seeing the

Salt Dog mascot from our local baseball team!

And then the jeep was sliding a lot on the way home

 due to the freezing rain/snow,

so we stayed home.

I baked some cookies and napped - the smell of home-baked cookies
put me right to sleep.

That was a fun day -- for me anyway! 

Since then we've been blessed with incredible warm and sunny weather!
Loving it!
I've spent a lot of time doing yard cleanup - which in 60+ temps after a long winter feels like heaven.  And I know the budding plants under the layers and layers of leaves, ice and gunk
appreciate my efforts.

Last weekend, we actually took a little roadtrip to a nearby
outlet mall!  The Under Armour store was
calling some one's name! :)

Who could resist a little hole in the wall eatery
called Voodoo Taco?
Pretty yummy!

In other news, Mr. Tennis has been in the hospital again.
Poor guy -- he rather suddenly became really ill earlier this week.
It appears all related to the nasty ulcerative Crohn's disease
he was diagnosed with in January.
Hoping he is home today or tomorrow!
He's keeping in good spirits and feeling much better.
If you could say a prayer or two for him, we'd appreciate it.
