love is...

joining Marydon once again...

my man is my comfort zone...

where ever he is...

is my favorite place to be...

he's the next best thing to Heaven and God for me...

a few shots of today...

things are greening up and sprouting up here and there...

and I am so eager to remove the left overs from the beds...

even though the sun has been so warm...

its still not time...

I look around at all the work that needs to be done...

making mental notes...

but its not time...

not yet...

the new growth is still going to need that protection for a few more weeks...

spent the day with my guys...

even lost power for awhile this afternoon...

perfect time for a nap...

then I spent so long on the phone with my bestie tonight...

Rebecca and I can go forever without having our long talks...

cause we just know each other so well...

but it was so nice to sit and talk...

dream...

compare notes on where we are...

where we want to be...

our options for the future...

girl talk...

best friend talk...

sharing, talking and just being in the same place at the same time...

even if we do it over the phone...

she is so many things to me...

I can't even begin to explain it all...

now, for a snack and off to bed, maybe...

been a long day...

but a good day!

March desktop calendars...

got up early this morning...

4am!

way too early for breakfast...

so I made 6 desktop calendars for you all...

March is coming fast...

in like a lamb?

out like a lion?

and with the luck of the irish...

maybe it will come in and go out like a lamb...

I haven't done these for awhile...

and I missed not having one...

so take what you want...

click on the photo...

save it...

then go in and right click on it again...

and save it to your desktop background...

and it will pop up there...

grocery shopping this morning in Paris...

bringing home Whoppers for lunch!

have a great day today!

we are going back up to the 50s!

just words...

its up to each of us to use them...

to take them to heart...

to look at things from a different angle...

to focus on what needs to be seen today...

and let the rest go...

you know...

those crazy little things that get in the way of joy...

smiles...

and contentment...

wishing you peace today...

and love...

something to do this weekend...

found some pretty images...

thought you might like to use them, too...

chicks are one of my favorite little things...

and airbrushed embossed cards, too...

the real reason for Easter...

chicks cruising...

and you thought we invented it...

yellow and blues...

shades of lavender...

such a pretty angel...

love her hat...

and dancing bunnies...

so cute...

had a rough morning...

feeling all the aches and pains...

but doing better now...

have a great weekend...

DH has to work tomorrow...

its too cold to do anything anyway...

we could see some flurries here tonight and tomorrow...

then back to the 50s...

fish and shrimp tonight from the White House Cafe...

yum yum...

if I don't forget, I will get pics for you...

Dollar Tree finds...

gearing up for Easter tree time...

we all were bored...

well, I was bored Tuesday night...

kind of a let down when you able to run around 3 whole days in a row...

(look, Donna, glitter on them eggs)

but don't get too excited- I haven't opened them yet...

so I made puppy dog eyes and the guys took me to town...

AFTER DARK!

I didn't want to really spend a lot of money...

didn't need a darn thing...

so it was the Dollar tree...

a candy duck for Craig...

'cause he's a rubber ducky kind of guy...

really- he has a collection of them...

and these little painted metal oval tubs...

a pink one...

and a blue one...

they had them in green, too...

thought they would be cute on the deck this spring...

and a little yellow bunny for the tree...

and spring ribbon...

then we stopped and got an ice cream cone...

and I was daring...

I did 4 licks...

and DH took another one for the team and finished it off...

been on this "diet" now for 3 1/2 weeks...

not doing  milk products at all...

except for the 4 licks...

and...

my IBS symptoms have disappeared...

they have the same symptoms of being lactose intolerant...

could I have been LI all along and been misdiagnosed?

makes you wonder...

I am doing soy milk, no yogurt, no cottage cheese...

and ta-da...

staying out of the bathroom!

I am going to talk to my doctor about it the next time I see him...

of course,  IBS goes in flairs...

and this could just be a quiet time...

we were up in the 50s, but got a front coming in...

thunderstorms are on their way but no snow here...

8 inches for Chicago...

lucky them...

Doug is here waiting to get into the dentist this afternoon...

getting at least 2 pulled...

then we go from there...

been for a walk...

a little breezy...

good thing I've got some lead in my pants, or I would be in Indiana by now...

gotta get moving again...

been trying to keep busy and keep moving as much as possible...

it lowers the blood sugar...

that and there's a bit to do around here always...

have a great afternoon...

and if you get snow...

well, I just didn't want it so sent it on...
