It's Tuesday

 

Greetings Blogger Buds. It's Tuesday

Was your Easter joyous? I'm trusting that it was.

We got to see the Grands after a long absence. Saturday we went to see RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON.   It was a fun movie. The only thing I had problems with was adjusting to the dragons looking like big stuffed animals. Though, I imagine kids loved it. This was the first time we were in a theater in over a year. I was curious, and a little concerned as to how the social distancing aspect would be handled.  I need not have worried. Everyone on the inside wore a mask and you electronically picked out your seats. There were less than twenty of us in the theater showing Raya so it was no problem at all.

 

Sunday we had an Easter  Egg hunt. I got lazy and got the prepackaged eggs that had stickers and candy in them. Note to self. Next year fill the eggs myself.

We got home Sunday and the HH and I exchanged Easter Baskets. Something we've been doing for over forty years. Yes, I'm old as dirt. His baskets are always much better than mine. In fact, I think filling the Easter eggs next year is going to be shifted to his job description. Anyhoo, this year he added a mystery bunny to the basket. Neither one of us know what the clear goop inside of it is. He thinks it's a bath gel but I'm not willing to risk an unknown in my bath water. Anyone care to take a guess as to what's lurking inside this particular Easter egg bunny?

Also in the basket...

Isn't this sanitizer a hoot?

 AND have you saved your kids' favorite T's? I saved them for years with the idea of having quilts made. Thanks to my son turning me on to Repat I finally got them done. I was pleased with the results and the prices were reasonable. .

AND April's calendars.

 
AND last but not least.

What about you, buds. Have a great Easter? Was the Easter bunny good to you? Have you seen Raya? Made quilts from old T Shirts? Turned the calendar?:)

Weekend Wishes

 

Hoppy Easter

Did You Know

 Did you know, that in the original Declaration of Independence, before cuts from Congress, Jefferson had denounced slavery?

*Since he was a Virginian landowner and had slaves of his own, this surprised me.

AND...Happy Birthday, Rye.

It's Tuesday

 I'm back.....

Not wanting to be out of commission indefinitely, I ended up buying a new computer. I got a Microsoft Surface.Has anyone used one before? I didn't even know Microsoft made computers.  So far so good....And it's pretty:)

Tuesday's question

If you watch Netflix or Prime, what's your favorite series?

Ours: Longmire and Blacklist (starring James Spader).  I love James Spader. He brings the same eccentricity and dry humor to the Blacklist series that he brought to Boston Legal.

AND...Spring CutsFaux and Frank got their Spring cuts.  It always stuns me how much Faux perks up after she gets hers. Since she has problems cleaning herself, I think it's her version of a bubble bath. She no longer feels dirty.
  

AND....Spring flowers

I am not a happy gardener. Those darn voles ate nearly all my tulip bulbs.  

 

What's your favorite series? How are your critters? Flowers? Is your computer behaving?

*The little two year old is starting chemo next month. All prayers and positive energy are appreciated.

Weekend Wishes

 

FYI: I'm having computer issues. SO if I don't drop by or post Tuesday that's the culprit.

Did You Know

 Did you know, legend has it that making chalices from Chalcedony prevented poisoning?

Chalcedony is usually an opaque, transparent, white, grey or blue stone.

It's Tuesday

 Did everyone reset their clocks. No problem for us. Our bedroom clock resets itself...a week early. Why? I have no idea.

The amaryllis is also confused instead of blooming at the Christmas season it shot for Easter.

AND another floral oddity.  A little reminiscent of a black sheep in a herd of white.

 
AND the first violets of  Spring.

AND the garden wildlife.

AND last but not least, a delightful mail surprise from Rockin Ro. Thanks, Ro!

What's in your garden? Got fun mail?

Weekend Wishes

 

AND....Happy Mother's Day to the Mom's across the water.
