Easter dinner. My daughter did an awesome job. We are so full we are having our homemade brownie sundaes later.

And her uncle broke his ankle bad and spent most of last night at the hospital so she made a Easter Dinner ToGo tray for my sister and him. She even sent a cup of vanilla ice cream for their brownies and "fancy" paper napkins that have an old lady saying "You're Never Too Old To Eat Cake".

She did a wonderful job, along with thinking about other's. She gets two gold stars on her crown!

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. She should be ordering my annual cholesterol test. Probably not so great, since I ate a lot of hardboiled eggs, and rich food the last few days. My cholesterol is borderline high, but I refuse to take medication. That stuff scares me with all the side effects.

I was told by my Dr. to take that medicine. I refuse too, it's too risky, besides at 69 what's ever is going to get me, will get me. Our days are numbered.

We all like to eat what we enjoy. There are no rules anymore about what we're "supposed" to serve at holidays. I recall my mother was big on everything being traditional. But I've marched to the beat of a different drummer as the years went by. Sometimes, I find chips and dip to be quite satisfying, regardless of the "occasion"!

Yes, son in law and I went for the turkey route, but I was open. The rest of the family hates turkey, so it will be switched up this year! Yea! We will do a snack day, with playing games and puzzles. So much fun!

Jet Blue is the best! Love the TVs on board--really helps to make the time go by quicker. They also have plenty of radio stations available at each seat, if you prefer to listen to tunes, instead of watch TV.

Boo to United, they have neither. I'm so tired of that airline, no more flying them after this year.

Good morning! Too many pages to catch up right now. Will try when I get more time. Had a great weekend. We had leftover Moroccan chicken with orange couscous and naan from slow cooker on Easter. Very yummy! Got errands today before tstorms arrive this afternoon. Have a great day everyone!

Good luck on catching up, we are a talkative bunch, along with great pictures!

That is too cute, I would get one if I had it in the budget. I needed more socks!

Out for me today. I'm getting my stuff packed. Then I start on hubby's. His clothes are bigger and takes up more room in the suitcases. Update on daughter, we are working on cleaning the apartment this week and unpacking the kitchen. Setting boxes in each room. She is on the third floor, no elevator...that will be a challenge. I have a back brace for moving heavy things, so I should be good.

I once lived in a third floor walk up and loved it I think it's great for the boys to burn off some energy

I did too. I was working for a utility and had climbed a 180' transmission tower. I felt pretty good afterwards, but about 7 hours later my leg muscles hurt soooo bad! I got home and had to climb those 3 flights of stairs and oh boy was I in pain. I was using the ornamental brickwork to help pull myself up each stair and all I could think about was that I hope none of my neighbors looked out of their windows cause they would have thought I was stewed to the gills!!! I felt a lot better after a hot bath and some motrin....

My last Disneyland meal of the trip. A sourdough burger melt (with bacon) and a chocolate malt.

Hope everyone had a great Easter. We went to see a show in Hershey Saturday with family. It was kind of vaudevillish. The show is based in Vegas and he was traveling around the country. He had loads of trained animals from birds to cats. The kids loved it. The adults too. DH also spent part of the weekend building a catio for our cats. Only 2 are fond of it right now.

I told my dad about the car I liked at the dealership. His reaction: "I'm glad your grandfather isn't alive for this." "Why?" "He'd tell you to buy it."

Bets, please be careful lifting. It's not that hard to throw out your back--even with a back brace.

I like the old red tractors, I think they were called farmall or something like it.

Hmmm....a red tractor gal huh???
