It is raining but furnace has not run all day today. that is a first in long time.
I finished a book tonight, just did not feel like watching TV. Seems like that happens more often lately for some reason. I have never had a pedicure. Love manicure especially if they do a massage on my hands and wrists. I have taken a break from that for awhile as my nails seemed to be a bit weak after doing the gel polish for so long. They are growing out again and feel really strong. part of if was my mistake of taking off the gel polish by pealing and digging at it when I was too sick to go have it removed. Not a thing you are supposed to do. I do miss my fancy polished nails. I don't even like to go to foot Dr and my wellness check once a year has a foot check and he knows I hate my feet touched. My DD#1 loves her pedicures especially in the summer. Her toes always look so good in her sandals.
Seems kind of nice not to have to cook anything for an Easter dinner this year. I even put off getting my groceries until Monday. Hardly seemed to make sense with my short list!!
Doris is back! Keyboards hate anything wet!! I don't use my IPad for the boards either. too much I can't do. but love it for messaging, games and my photos. Calling it a night!!!

Sorry I didn't post last night.. My computer is in that mode again of shutting down every so often.. especially when I'm right in the middle of something.
Don't like anyone touching my feet either.. never have. And now I have a nerve problem where if anyone even lays their hand lightly on my leg or arm I feel as if there are electric shots going through to my bones.. can't even explain it. If you grab onto my leg or arm that doesn't happen.. it's the light touch that causes it.. Strange I know.
Have gotten the pictures ready to send to Jerris husband.. also a pkt ready to send to her best friend who lives in Georgia.. Will get those sent tomorrow. That's about all Ive done.. did manage to clean my bathroom today but it took forever.. kept having to sit down.. catch my breath and then continue.
Love all the pictures of the humming birds lately.. love birds so much.
Jenny

This will be the first Easter that Fred and I will be on our own with Debbie and Maija in Italy. Fred thought about us going out for dinner but I don't like leaving Maybean on his own with the dogs so I think I'll suggest he use our Olive Garden gift cards and do carry out. I figure they will be really crowded on Easter and this way no tip, no beverages and just relaxing at home with an already prepared meal. I noticed they have a few new dishes on the menu.
This morning Fred will be golfing so not sure what I'll be doing. Not going to WW and I looked at my journal and haven't been to a meeting since March 23 or done a WI since March 9. Thinking maybe it really is time to quit.

GOOD MORNING LADIES, SANDY A WORD OF CAUTION. YOU DECIDE TO STOP WW DO IT BEFORE THE FIRST OF THE MONTH.OTHERWISE THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR THE WHOLE MONTH.
I QUIT FEBRUARY 1 AND THEY DID IT TO ME.
WHEN I CALLED TO COMPLAIN THE GIRL ASKED DID YOU READ OUR POLICIES? IT IS IN OUR POLICES.
I TRIED TO FIGHT IT AND CALLED MY CC COMPANY. IT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE SO JUST PAID THE DARN BILL.THE CC DID LOOK INTO IT.
I HAVE HEARD THEY WERE DOING THIS. i HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYTHING FROM BECKI EITHER SO LEADERS MUST NOT BE SENDING OUT CARDS.WW MUST HAVE STOPPED TAHT.
I DID GET IN THE MAIL TRIPLE PLAY. FREE TO JOIN,GET A FREE MONTH,AND A FREE STARTER KIT.COURSE YOU HAVE TO READ THE FINE PRINT ON THE BACK.
AS FAR AS EARNING POINTS FOR PRIZES I LOOKED AT THAT LIST IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS NOTHING ON THAT LIST I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN.
WHEN I READ BY FORBES THE CEO GOT OVER A MILLION DOLLAR AWARD FOR HER FIRST YEAR THAT IS WHAT WOULD STOP ME FROM GOING BACK. THEY CAN GIVE HER THAT MUCH W DOES NOT NEED MY MONEY.
SORRY MOLLY AND OTHERS WHO HIGH ON WW. I AM NOT THE ONLY EX WEIGHTWATCHER WHO FEELS THIS WAY.BUDDING OUT PHYL

Good morning!
The wind finally died down last evening and we were able to start a fire and roast hot dogs and marshmallows. The girls lit sticks and waved them in the air like sparklers on the 4th of July. In the end, all of us smelled of smoke, so we had showers, and I started laundering the clothes we had been wearing. We stayed up late reading . . . DH was the first to doze and went to bed.
I'm not sure what time the girls went to sleep. I went to bed at midnight, and at least one of them was still awake. Then, I heard them at 5 a.m. It's 8 a.m. now, and they are still in their room.
Marlene, I do gain from all the baking . . . that's why I'm going to WW! LOL! Here is the bran muffin recipe. I think I had it years ago and it was called "Brown Gem Muffins." It made a huge batch of batter and was kept in the fridge for a long period of time -- used little by little. My friend gave me this one when we started back to WW two years ago. I immediately halved it -- and that's what I'm posting here.
All Bran Muffins
Combine 3 cups Original All-Bran Cereal with 1 cup of boiling water. Set aside.
Combine wet ingredients: 1/2+ cup oil 2 beaten eggs 2 cups buttermilk
Combine dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups white sugar 2 1/2 cups flour 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix wet and dry ingredients together. Add cereal/water and mix thoroughly. Add nuts if desired. Dip into muffin cups using a regular-sized ice cream dipper. Bake at 350 degrees until muffin springs back when touched in the middle (15 to 20 minutes). Batter may be kept refrigerated for up to six weeks. Makes about 33 muffins. Refrigerate or freeze extras. (5 points each for Weight Watchers)

Good Morning Connie and Awesome Aprils,
It's sunny and 51* this morning and going up to 82* with abundant sunshine and winds SSW 10-20 mph today.
I'm happy to have my computer back and be able to post again. Phyl, special thanks to you for keeping the Train thread going while my computer was in the shop. I think it will take a while for me to get back into the swing of things again.
I haven't had a chance to go back and read the threads I missed and I'm sure that will take a while, but it feels good to be able to post again.

phyl, Phyl, last night I posted the link and the http for that sewing tee shirt sight.
49 to 78 today. Sunshine. Thinking seriously about going to CVS for an item I need as I have a 40% off coupon. Don't like going to town on Saturday's but I need to use the coupon. Thinking I will have a Whataburger as it has been a pretty good while since I had one.
Been spending the morning thinking about what will go in my luggage for the CA trip. Getting close you know.
Have a great Saturday everyone. Hummingbird Lucy

Hi!
Today, DH and I still have our colds, so we'll stay in the house. We're still not sure about tomorrow. I hope we'll be able to go to church and feel okay for the family dinner to follow. I will make the potato salad today and get it in the fridge. This evening, I'll put the roast in the crock pot and it will be ready in time for dinner tomorrow. The rest of the family will bring everything else. I'm still thinking about whether to fix some green beans for the younger kids. Our 15 year old has asked to make the baked beans, and we told him that was great. The 17 year old usually makes deviled eggs.
Our weather is cool today, but is expected to be warmer tomorrow.
Be happy! Diane

Oh boy, traffic in our small town yesterday was a mess, between all the Easter/ Good Friday traffic near the Churches, there are yellow cones everywhere and people trying to miss the pot holes it was awful. we got held up by a huge funeral procession also. Anyway I am staying home until tomorrow when I will drive to DD's and will ride with them to DGSs, we will be there for a couple of hours and then to the Easter Buffet. for some reason I love all holidays and time with family that are around but I am always glad when it is over with too. Rest of holidays for awhile will be easy, picnics , grilling and pool time. Pool should be open by Memorial Day and do try to help as much as I can with the summer things.
I finally decided where to plant the brown eyed susans today. and they will go by the back door of the garage. My tulips, hyacinth, will be done and the crocus already are. So will be a spot of color next to the antique cultivator and the climbing ivy I have there. The cultivator needs some touching up as well before all the ivy is all over it. d
69° high today and sun this afternoon. Last night the map on the weather part of the news has a small area around us that was clear, in the midst of all the green for rain. so strange.
Doris you were missed here as well as on the Train. Did the girls color eggs etc for Easter? I did buy as small pack of the coloring stuff in case I decided to do that for myself but decided I didn't want hard boiled eggs right now so the colorful material ones will do. Have a basket on the table in front of the livingroom window and that is it. That nasty Easter grass that floats everywhere and just the colorful eggs. Stick on things on my windows by the welcome lights. bunnies and eggs.
