Those Darn Stars
I'm back!
The fam's stars haven't quite aligned yet. I may have mentioned that the bro had to have caregivers lined up before they'd do the transplant so my sister and I signed up. The transplant went fine and my sister went down to care give once he was home. While she was there, his wife--my sis-in-law--was rushing to catch the bus, tripped and rolled both ankles, winding up in the street waiting for an ambulance. She was admitted, diagnosed with two sprains and sent home.
We headed down for our stint, were there a week when the HH landed in the hospital with kidney stones. After, he had surgery and was released, we packed it in and headed home.
Currently: Everyone is on their feet and mobile, after a fashion. Heh.
AND...
My sweet Belle has moved on to her next cycle of life. RIP.
AND...
More Longwood shots:
AND...Our Christmas Roses are still blooming so I guess it's time to start calling them Lenten Roses:)
AND...
The first tulip of the season.
AND...Toilet paper, napkins, tissues and sanitizers have flown off the shelf. Toilet paper was even unavailable at Amazon. I should add an addendum I didn't try to find out if the RV or commercial TPs were available. The HH finally found toilet paper at Big Lots, Big Lots brand.

Tuesday
My new toy.
When the cost for my vacuum bags went up to forty dollars for a six pack, I decided it was time for a change. This vacuum cleaner cost me twenty dollars more than what I paid for my bags. So far, I'm very pleased with it. It works well and there are no bags to purchase. The downside: Emptying the canister gets a bit messy.
More pictures of Longwood Gardens.
AND...Classic quote from Justice League."What's your super power?"Bruce Wayne: "I'm rich."
What about you? Hopefully, you are doing something more exciting than vacuuming:) Been to Longwood Gardens? Seen Justice League?
