Just so you know, Easter (this year) is the earliest it's ever been since the 1800s. It's just particularly early this year, so your usual spring weather may not quite be here yet.

Edit: Found an Easter Sundey on March 27 in 1785, but also there was one in 1932, if my (online) source is correct. It was my sister who mentioned the 1800s to me today on the phone, but I just looked it up and couldn't find March 27 during the 1800s.

Meh, 2005 it was March 27, March 23 2008, 26th in 1989. It is far more rare than April Easters but they do come around more frequently than what your Sis thinks.

Everything seems early as far as the calendar goes. I can't believe it's the first day of spring. Time is flying. We are going to Disney in 66 days.

And it seems like you just unpacked and did the laundry.

 

[Gabe1]

arggh yeah, a "watch".

Told you the other day your posts are great for smiles! I usually know exactly your point though, it is rare I ask for an interpretation.

While I'm an iPhone gal, I'm hearing the new Samsung S7 Edge has promise when it takes a swim being water resistant. I've actually had 2 phones go for an accidental swim. Oy. Guess beyond the swimming phone it has a much better camera and battery life major upgrade.

Still I don't think I'd be taking underwater pictures with it.

I thought that if I got a higher-end phone, I would go with an iPhone, but now that I've got a decent Android phone, I'm more than a little in love with Android. Now I think if I ever get a higher-end phone, it's probably going to be an Android. I love how customizable Android is, although for someone less comfortable with technology, I'd recommend the iPhone

It took me a long time to join the Smart Phone party. Seriously when I had 2 kids in college and a husband who's salary took a huge hit during our last recession the last thing I needed was an additional bill I didn't HAVE to have. And I'm still not the one to run out and get the newest iPhone, I'm just not that way with most things. But once you upgrade it is a whole new world and I can't imagine going backwards.

Today I launched a senior citizens version of a cell phone. Simple. Pay as you Go type monthly. Large Numbers. Prompts. I added texting to have the option of sending and knowing she would never respond. Sadly I could not remember how to go from numbers to letters on a flip phone when setting the contacts up. OMG what a decade has done. I actually had a flip phone at the turn of the millennium and loved it.
Fit nicely in any pocket but there is no going back now.

thanks, you still missed a

in the first part of the sentence.

Life will go on.

Maybe slowing down physically but you are one of the witty and funniest ladies I know. You bring a smile to my face so many times a day and sometimes you even make me spit coffee at the screen.

^^^^ This and sweetest

My gardens are about 25% of what they use to be, the rest I fill in with the Farmers Market. I tend to grow items now that are even expensive in the summer, herbs and spices in containers and things that are way better taste wise off a vine like Tomatoes and cucumbers.
I only grew lettuce and celery one year. Lettuce is cheap vs how much I spend to water and a pain to wash. My celery just came out too tough. Sometimes I grow sweet peas which take care of themselves and greenbean, which depend on the weather how good or tough they are. I always grow various kinds of peppers too, they tend to be 'spensive.

We don't do bell peppers because we can get them at the farm market at a very good price but we do 2 or 3 types of hot peppers every year. This year I may only do one type so when we get home I can dry them for the winter.

This is so funny! I've checked a few online sites and come up with different dates on all of them! But all that matters is that I get my chocolate rabbit--no matter what the date is!!!

What veggies do you put in 3 weeks before?

Kale, swiss chard, spinach, sweet peas, white potatoes, dill (if the patch needs to be reseeded, oregano and most mints can go out

Ha! Time for myself, I'm so being torn in so many directions these days. My Dad WAS doing so well today, they had him for a few days out of theaters and with assistance walked to the restroom. WERE going to transfer him to a rehab center tomorrow. My Mom and Sis went back again late afternoon for his evening feeding. He was talking to my Sis about basketball, as normally as possible and then became totally disorientated etc. His heart rate shot up again. So they called in a Psych nurse practitioner. I don't agree. My gut is it has something to do with that big honk'n blood clot in his heart over sudden mental disorientation. Mixing him being a difficult elderly man, physical reactions to narcotics and a heart condition I think symptoms for other causes are being masked. He passed with flying colors a dementia onset test and passed a psych test over several days. I think they can't figure it all out so they want to transfer him out somewhere anywhere.

Sympathy like. I hope today is better

You can still eat a chocolate rabbit when it's quiet, too.

I've yet to find a dairy free bunny but I have some chocolate chips I may do something with.

I guess I should get ready for work...urggghh but I want to call out. Only an inch of snow where I am.

I had it in my mind I was out so it's very tough

It is great. I had it in November too. I get it without coleslaw. Just like the pot roast one it needs salt and pepper, but there isn't any at that location so you have to pick some up at a different quick service.

You may be out of the loop and blissfully insulated from the latest WDW rumblings ... but enjoy the tower in its perfect iteration while you can.

What are the rumors? They better not mess with my tower I love it the way it is.
