DANG COLD....
Okay, I'm not talking about the weather....... the weather is gorgeous now!!! But I'm talking about this friggin head cold that I have. I haven't had one all fall/winter long..... why do I get one now when it's so beautiful out?? My eyes are watery, my nose is stuffed up, coughing, my head hurts..... have I whined enough?? One good thing today, my forsythia came out in full bloom. I love the bright yellow shining out in the backyard.

Cars........
Cars are like men....... you can't live without them and you can't shoot them. ;-p
And even when your kid is 26 years old, they still need Daddy to deal with them.
Poor Morgan's car broke down in Toronto a few weeks ago.... first thing she did was call Daddy. Then she had it towed all the way down here to Welland. (1 1/2 to 2 hours away) Thank goodness I buy her CAA Plus!! Since Allan knows reliable mechanics here we thought that was best. $2300.00 later it's fixed. She blew the transmission (stupid Mazda used a FORD transmission, piece of crap) Sorry all you FORD lovers. ;-) Now, we are talking an older car here, but we had just bought her new tires and brakes...... so we couldn't justify getting rid of it. We thought we were done with it, but just now Allan walked in the house and said, you know what... it's time to get the timing belt done on her car....... another $400.00 or more cost. When does it stop?? Like I said..... you can't live without them and you can't shoot them. ;-)

TAG ~ I'm It!!
My friend Lori from "The Nook Forum" has tagged me - its my first tag so let's get on with it........ actually this is hard, I must live a boring life!!!
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog! OK, here goes:
1. I have a tattoo on my wrist of a butterfly with stardust flying behind it. I got it when I turned 40!
2. I met my husband at work, but I had to "retire" when we got married because married couples aren't allowed to work at the same place of business, even though it is a family run business with tons of their family working there!
3. I am 8 years younger than my sister and 6 years younger than my brother. I am a happy surprise my Mother says!
4. If it was truly possible I would live somewhere that has lots of land and have tons and tons of animals. Seriously, I mean 20 dogs and 50 cats at least! Just call me the weird old cat/dog lady.
5. I grew up in a golfing family - my Father, brother and sister were all champions... my brother is actually a golf pro. I hate golf. ;-)
6. I hate cooking but my daughter is a fantastic chef... go figure.
7. I can't draw worth beans but my son is a talented artist... go figure again.
Oh yeah, I'm adding a number 8. I HATE BAREFEET!!!! My own that is. I wear socks 24/7... except in the shower. I can't stand the feeling of my feet being bare.
I think everyone I know who has blogs has been tagged already!

Dumbo Auntie Margo!!!
Okay, so I get this adorable picture from my niece yesterday of her 2 kids, Emma and Wyatt........ I'm ohhhhhhing and ahhhhhing over the picture and reading their shirts... how cute are they!!! I'm laughing cause Wyatt has a "big Brother" shirt on thinking that because he is getting so big and almost the same size as his big sister Emma that they got him this shirt too...... not realizing that Jennifer and Jesse are announcing they are having another baby!!! Soooooooooo, Emma and Wyatt are both going to be a "big sister and big brother" now to a new little one!!! I am so thrilled for Jennifer and Jesse!! How I wish we lived closer.... they live in North Carolina!! Morgan and Jennifer are basically the same age and grew up very close personally together..... even though they have always lived so far apart. They have always had such a great friendship and love for each other. Boy, can 2 girls be so different in the stages of their lives now!! So, yep.... I'm going to be an Auntie again!! I can't wait!!

HAPPY SNOWY EASTER!!!
Today is Easter Sunday and a very cold snowy one at that! After church service we had an Easter dinner at our home.... I made a special birthday/Easter cake to celebrate Morgan's birthday as we didn't get to see her till now. I love the before and after shots... looks like the cake exploded its guts! ;-) The Easter bunny also visited but now he leaves money for the kids instead of toys! My, how time has changed things!
