Hey Cherries. The kids and I had a great time yesterday. We did some crafts and then baked cookies. Lots of cookies. They each make their own batch. More crafts and lots of cookie eating on the agenda for today.
Have a great day Cherries.

Have fun with them Barb!
It's a bit warmer here today. I'm definitely going to get out for my walk this afternoon, probably some scrapping on the agenda. The piano tuner came back for a 3rd time this morning and went over every key so hopefully no more sticking. I'll definitely play it today. I think we need to get a new piano tuner this has been so annoying, but I'm not going to say anything until I'm sure it's fine. I never had a key stick in over 20 years of this piano before he tuned it earlier this week.
We're going to some sort of wine event at an art gallery tonight. Hopefully it is good, both the wine and the art.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning y'all. Already sitting in the recliner, with my laptop and Netflix. I was having a really good day yesterday, but by 9pm...had some pain and had to take something and put my abdominal binder back on before bed. Taking it easy this morning. Think I just overdid it yesterday. You know how it goes...two steps forward...one step back.
Yesterday afternoon, while I was working on my laptop, Penny was sleeping one minute on a dog bed and the next....she had puked.
Not only on the dog bed...but on herself too. So I cleaned up what I could, all while calling DH to come home to help me. I felt bad but luckily he only works 3 mins away (5 mins if he hits the red light). So he took care of everything and threw everything in the washer. I was able to put things in the dryer since my washer/dryer are on pedestals so there isn't any extra bending for me. So maybe I overdid it because I sat up quickly after Penny threw up. Who knows..... At least she's feeling better now. She slept most of the afternoon and all evening and even thru the night. She was able to eat breakfast and so far...keeping it down.
Anyways, feeling a little better today. Took a shower and had my coffee. My SIL swung by and picked me up on her way to take Draven and Jasper to school. We are now getting Wesley enrolled in school. Since he too will need ESC services, he needs to be enrolled as early as possible. So they can have him evaluated BEFORE the school year starts, unlike Jasper where we enrolled him during regular enrollment and his eval was done AFTER school started. They are using our address since they are out of district. We had the papers notarized last week.
I even got a chance to work on Step #5 of the Progressive Challenge. I'm almost done and hoping to even upload it today. If not, definetly over the weekend.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Smile, it's Friday.

It warming up, here in the west. So, hopefully headed to the ladies back east. We were up around 40 yesterday. And the sun is shining brightly. Snow starting to melt. There’s a pile of it hanging around. DH is on an Avis drive this morning. Not much on my agenda, which is ok. Hoping to get out and walk later.

Probably going to relax a bit. Still haven't done any work...
So adorable, Brandy!
What a fun time! Clean up and relaxing comes after they leave. Until then, it's fun time!

Keep sending the warmer weather here. We are expecting 40's this weekend and hopefully 50 by next week!
You're busy even while resting. The car ride may make you little tired too. Rest and hugs to you! Happy to hear Penny is feeling better.blbabe1234 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2025 11:43 amGood morning y'all.

Your final step turned out great!!! Such cute pics.
Still super cold, but it is suppose to be 60 by Monday. I sure hope so. We are still surrounded by snow though. DH went to grocery store this morning and said the parking lot was good, but at other stores around looked bad. We live in a no outlet circle, and no one ever clears our street, so it will be bad till we get some melting. Not much at 8 degrees though!
I am going to try to get crafty today.
Brandy, take it easy!
