Lucy, don't know if you have noticed but your avatar is the PIX A BAY ad. I can't down load photos from that site either. Miss your neat avatars.

hi girls, I got a new outfit for Easter every year. mom always had to make sure I hda patent leather shoes .sometimes black sometimes white.
don't think we ever went to a sunrise service..years ago we had a priest that did a sunrise service.he said he would never do one again it was just to darn cold.think Easter must have been early march that year.
I remember watching the movie Easter parade. they don't seem to show it so much now days.
yes I remember wearing hats and gloves in the 50's. budding out phyl

Busy day & I got a lot done. Laundry was the biggie for today & it was a perfect spring day to hang the clothes outside. After I got everything folded, put away & the bed made, I worked in the yard. DH had raked & was burning so I cleaned the leaves & pine needles out of some flower beds to burn also. The lilies are coming up so none to early that I cleaned that bed out. Put wire around some more tulips & daffodils so the bunnies won't eat them. Have at least one more daffodil that needs wire. The bee balm is up & I have to thin that bed out. I hope to thin them tomorrow before it rains. The hummers like those flowers. When I get the beds cleaned up I need to fertilize everything. I love working outdoors & getting my hands dirty....when it's not too hot or buggy.
We sat out on the deck this morning with a light jacket on. Coffee was already gone but usually we have our morning coffee out there & watch the birds. Bird feeders are gone now so we watched Waldo this morning! The catnip is barely up but he feasted on that & then rolled in it. Yes all cat's knead. I read online one time about what a cat's behavior means, & it said when they knead they are content & happy.
We had a hard frost last night - low of 23. We put the potted flowers I brought from home in the car but a couple plants still froze. One was a wandering jew that was doing so well. Maybe it will come back but if not WM always has them.
The rest of the week is to be warm but rainy. We have to go for propane tomorrow & will likely do some grocery shopping. We seem to always need something.
Yes Easter was always a time to look your best. I remember getting a new dress & new shoes. And speaking of Sunday clothes, we definitely had Sunday clothes & they were only wore for very special occasions otherwise. I didn't care for hats but that's what everyone wore so I did too. Our girls got new dresses, shoes, gloves & hats. One year was black patent leather shoes. They were all born within 4 years so I frequently dressed them alike. The boys would get new suits, tie & shoes. Now days no one dresses up for Easter or any other Sunday to go to church. Jeans are worn everywhere & even shorts in the summer. Older gals too but not me. Capri's are as casual as I get.
DH is having problems with one of his knees buckling. He almost fell today when that happened. He'll get a brace for it tomorrow to see if that helps.
Have a good evening.....

Hi!
I agree, it has been a busy day.
We left early to do some banking, then visited DH's mother who has been unwell for the past week. DSisIL thinks she has perked up a little this afternoon.
From there, we went to a McDonald's up north, then further north to DH's home town to sign and pay our taxes. We visited Mom on the way home and checked on The Parents' House. Also stopped on the way home to pick up groceries.
We saw an accident right after it happened. They had one guy out of the car and stretched out on the side. His car had gone through a fence. I think A pickup pulled out and hit his front fender and forced him off the road.
Home now and ready to relax for the evening. See you tomorrow! ~~Mollyann

Tucking you all in now with LAVENDER BLANKETS WITH A BUTTERFLY IN THE MIDDLE...sweet dreams!

Connie, that did not show up as an ad on my avatar for me so I did not know. I changed it. I did some mowing. Pretty wet . Down close to the house was too wet. Maybe tomorrow. Another Iris in bloom.
I know what you mean about the way most dress now for church and everywhere. Some dress nice. Even some of the youth dress. But so many young and old wear jeans. My DD is a teacher and does not dress as nice as she did when she began teaching.
Yes, we had Sunday clothes, school clothes, and play clothes. We changed out of our school clothes as soon as we got home and hung them up as it might rain and Mama might not get to wash. We did not have as many clothes as kids do now and heaven forbid! We did not toss them on the floor.

Phyl, don't know if this will help but when I find a picture I like for avatar I save it to "clip art" which is a folder under Pictures on my computer. In profile, click edit profile, click on UPload Link, then my clip art comes up, I click on the picture, open, save . this works for me. I could not upload from anything else. I don't do any personal pictures as they are in my Shutterfly.
If this does not work or if you don't understand that is okay as I don't explain things very well. do better when I show someone. Darn wish I could do that for you.
I don't have a clue how to do it on my Ipad or Ipad as I don't use them for the boards.
Lucy, maybe it only showed up that way on my computer??? so sorry!! Now I see the picture.
