It is very summery in NC. We had a great time at the
birthday party. We didn't go to the beach as the little ones were really
tired. It was about 2 hours each way. Tomorrow is my great granddaughters
birthday, but we are having her party today. I'll be making
her ghost cake when I get done here. I have a busy day with church too.
Everyone have a safe pain free day.

Grammagus, I'm so happy you had such a nice time yesterday. We've had a couple of summery days the last couple of days here in MN, complete with thunderstorms & even a little hail. The ghost cake sounds really cute if possible post a pic. Have a fabulous time at the Bday party today. I hope your pain stays low so you can really enjoy yourself.
I've been trying really hard to go to bed early like 3:30-4:00. Problem is I've gotten used to sleeping almost sideways in my bed as for whatever reason it's easier on my back. Now if I could just kick hubby out of bed or at least push him gently on the floor I would probably succeed LOL!
My big plan for the day is to attempt to make a beef stew in the crockpot. Someone on FB posted an awesome Recipie, the pic of it is what sold me as it looks a lot like the stew my mom used to make. In all these years I've never made one so fingers crossed it will taste as good as it looks! I'm feeling quite a bit better today and the redness in my legs is almost gone thank goodness.
I hope everyone has a happy and serene day!
Love & God bless

grammagus, sounds like you're really enjoying yourself. i'm glad the birthday party was good and another today. oh, boy! i agree with lisa...i'd love to see a photo of the ghost cake. hope you get some rest breaks in between all these activities.
yes, very summery weather here in the south and it's only may. it's good you're getting a taste of it before moving.
lisa, i was wondering why you were absent in the early am. i hope that schedule works out without kicking hubby to the floor!
beef stew in the crock pot is very yummy. i'm glad you saw a good recipe that reminds you of mom's. i'm sure it will be delish.
i'm so happy to hear that the redness is down so much!
i feel much better after a day of solitude and rest (and madmen) and i want another so i put my do not disturb note on the door.
last night a sweet man who's had a stroke brought back my containers from food i shared and and told me i did good. made my heart smile.
i'm going to roast some chicken quarters and veggies today and begin packing at least mentally.
wishing all a peaceful day and a song in your heart...here's cat steven w/ morning has broken.
the photography in this is beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0TInLOJuUM

Lisa, iI'm sure your hubby would love to be pushed to the floor (lol). I'm so glad your leg is doing better. That's great news. Good luck with your beef stew. I'm not a fan of it, but I hope it comes out as good as that one looks.
Serenity, glad you got some rest. It's always nice to help someone out when they're not feeling well. God Bless you honey. I'm sure he was so grateful for you to think of him. Have a good day today.
I'm just waiting for Scott to wake and we'll have breakfast together. He has his kuds today so I may go to the beach if it gets warm enough. I'm rolling grape leaves for dinner tonight. Hopefully Scott enjoys them!
I pray everyone has a low pain, low stress day.
Love and hugs,

Grammagus, I'm glad you are enjoying your visit. You are packing a lot into your short stay. Good for you!
Lisa, glad you're getting to sleep earlier. I haven't made beef stew on the stovetop in many years. It's crockpot all the way baby. Glad your legs are on the mend
Serenity, glad you're feeling up to snuff again. Also glad you put up your "Do not disturb" sign. Let's see if it works, lol! Have a good day.
ME, I hope it warms up enough for you to go sit with your cronies at the beach. I'm sure Scott will love your grape leaves. He seems to love everything else about you. You're a good cook. I'm sure he'd love to come home to you wearing just a couple grape leaves, lol! Have a good day.
Hal is off to the golf course. I'm just cruising the net and drinking coffee. I hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday!
Hugs,
Dianna
As most of you know..I tend not to respond in detail here..
And send hugs/messages as problems pop up for y'all.
I hope that's not perceived as indifference
( especially of late.. where my thumb-typing has spread up
( as opposed to keyboarding.. which is damned near impossible these days.
Anywaaaays..I assume you each and all know that I truly care.
I hope everyone doing a bit better continues to.. and more..
And those suffering extra get some form of relief.
Myself.. haha.. I think I'm near the whimpering stage :-) :-) ( lucky visiting Mom :-)
Happy Sunday.
Goodnight, Seek and Ness a

I didn't get to sleepish until 9:30ish and the dogs told me that was enough by 10ish, ugh. Damn leg and now joined by the right one is on fire again. I can say it's not as bad as it was the other night/day so far. Hoping my arms don't join in, I'm feeling sparks. Nothing like feeling like a hot pan of oil has been thrown on you :(. Thankful I don't live like this every day anymore. Hmm just thought though I got an increase in meds maybe the change is triggering.
Grammagus so glad you are there to enjoy all these treasurable moments :)
Lisa thankful you are feeling better! Hey you've been in that sleeping pattern for a long time, give it time to change :)
Serenity you are on a roll with the resting and shutting the door.....high five! The Cat's In The Cradle and the silver spoon.......... I just went there 8)
ME I'm still waiting for that trip to the beach......yet you don't pick me up! My butt's getting a little sore sitting here ;). I agree with Dianna you need to fashion some of those fig leaves ;)
Dianna taking the easy way today are you? I don't blame you one little tiny bit! Just might join you in it ;). Did you get your rain? I checked a few times last night, but it was hard to tell.....it was sitting borderline.
JC that sucks that you have to type with your thumbs. I've typed plenty of times with one finger and know how hard and time consuming it is. The thumbs would be torturtous! sp. Aw you must love us so much :) Love you too, worry about you when I don't hear how You are!
A good, restful, stuff your face, sneaky fart, low pain day to you all
Sounds like a nice dayt Dianna. are Roxy Max and Jack hanging peacefully together yet? hope you start to feel better JC. thank you for the well wishes. im so sorry youre on fire Toni...i know the burning tingling and numbness that goes along with the feeling as if hot oil has been tossed on ya. man oh man not good. maybe it was due to the med increase. hopefully the side effect will simmer down as time ticks on.
i need to get serious about loosing weight ...again. enough is enough. im hurting pretty good but i can rest up til tuesday at least. had a blast with my friend yesterday from 11am til 930 pm was a long day.today i will watch the NFL channel and watch some replay games. hubby made brunch and is doing laundry. he worked 8 hrs yesterday setting up an office of ten people.
going to soak later
Toni, tomorrow be ready early. I'll pick you up and take you to the beach with me. (if only I could) hoHope you enjoy your day.
Love and hugs,
