I just got home from eating at Olive Garden with the Friday night Gang. We only had 8 tonight which was unusual. Lately we have been having 16-20 which can be a problem to all get seated together. I got the 5 cheese Ziti tonight and brought at least half of it home to enjoy another night.

Bev, I really don't know what kind of Iris mine are. They come up year after year in several places in my yard. Some are solid yellow and these have the purple stripes on them. I really love the purple ones too, but just don't have any. My roses are blooming and the Magnolia tree is about to bloom. The azaleas are past prime.

Winter has returned to the south. We only got into the low 70s today and it's already down to 54 tonight and heading into the upper 40s. Should be like this for the next week~unless they change the forcast, which does happen frequently. Seems like we often have a cold snap about Easter when all the little girls are wanting to show off their new dresses and have to put a sweater on over them or freeze. I'm not complaining. We will have plenty more HOT weather way too soon.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter in case I don't get back on between now and then.

Have a happy day.. BBL

Hugs Bev..

Good Morning Friends!

Beautiful morning greeting Bev. What kind of flowers are they?? Almost look like bachelor buttons.
I am really enjoying everyone's flowers they are posting.It is really brightening up the start of each day for me. I have really been stressed out worrying about Xel-Ha, as well as exhausted from all the running I have been doing. I am hoping that things will soon settle down. I am really looking forward to our vacation that is coming up the end of the month!!! I love Madeira Beach, FL and look forward to eagle and osprey searching as well as walking the beach every day!!

Sara I love going to Olive Garden, but the closest one is in Augusta. It doesn't matter what time of the day we go, there is always a very long wait and we end up leaving and finding somewhere else to eat. I know what you mean about finding restuarants that can seat a large group. Don and I used to belong to the "Dining Dozen Dinner group" with our friends. It consisted of 12 couples so we had to find places that accomodated 24 people. Each couple had their turn to choose the restaurant for the month and after dinner everyone would go over to their house for desserts. That got to be too much so we dropped out after a couple years in the group.

Barbara do you and Mike have special plans for the weekend?? How long will he be in town?
Let me know the date that you plan to get together with Cherie. I think it would be great if I could get there, even if it's for the day!

Donna all your special projects with your grandchildren remind me of all the crafting fun I had with my kids. I baby sat for a couple of our neighbors kids so I planned craft time each day with them. In the summer I took all the kids to the library for the "summer reading club" too.

Diane thinking of you, Dennis, Tami, Lindsay and Hunter!

Carolyn enjoy your Easter as well!!

That's all for now. It's taken me almost an hour to get this far. I'll be back later!
