Hi Chris! Glad you had such a good time shopping. :) I've been having a hard time getting myself out lately. Not sure why. Anyway...not feeling all that cheerful. Loved reading your journal. Maybe that will give me some inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing all you do. Big hugs.. ~ Di

Love the picture of the woodpecker. We have one just like it. We love to watch him at the feeder because he eats upside down. He is really comical. So glad that you had a fun time shopping. The wedding was great and we had a wonderful time. The bride was beautiful. The church was really pretty and we enjoyed visiting with everyone. John went down this morning with John and Kelly to help tear down the reception hall. He will probably be gone most of the day. I have Allie for the day. She spent the night with us last evening because John and Kelly knew they wouldn't get home until late. So Allie got to sleep over with Mya and Abby. I have her today as well since they won't be home most of the day. I love babysitting her. Well. got to get ready for church. Hope you have a wonderful day. Love you.

Happy April CHRIS AND FAMILY, so happy that you got the card, I felt so bad, I don't know why it took so long, but you got it and its all that matters, yes I chose it just for you, it is so sweet, and the tea is one of my favourite, nice and relaxing.
Love to see all the birds photos , they look so well fed Chris , you are their angel, here the sparrows and blackbirds, robin , squirrel are all happily eating , singing, the magpies are gone so the little birds are happy. Got some wholewheat bread ready for them, they all love bread.
Hope the weather is warming soon, here too it was warm but its cold again, sunny and cloudy, not at all spring, except for the leaves now growing back on the trees and flowers blooming, its really awesome .Give your Mum and family my best wishes, happiness, peace ,joy to all, enjoy every moment.
yesterday I made a pot of vegetable soup, had some with pasta, I break the spaghetti in small pieces, its good to eat vegetables and pasta, today got lots of salad and herbs , it is a very old recipe I cook the salad and herbs and then add small chunks of rye bread, and stir for a few minutes, add olive oil, garlic, and eat it.
We are all better and its a blessing, you have a wonderful day, keep well, didn't know that his is the last of TWD, so soon, well enjoy your sunday, got some papers and stuff to sort out, love and lots of hugs to you and all**

the lines at the stores sure do test all of us. i'm glad you stayed calm and the second line opened! i'm not good at shopping with lots of people in crowded places. i just keep trying. sounds like you're doing well with this! it's very challenging to me.
i found a barn sale yesterday while riding in the country with a friend. (i'm really good at this:) i found an old hand plow. another friend of mine is planting a wildflower garden by the front door. this will look perfect in the middle of all the new flowers! i can't wait to give it to her and her husband:) i sent her a picture yesterday and she got SO excited. they have two horses and a barn. the house is a project. it's all coming together though. i love to visit there:) i'm happy to have a great housewarming gift for them from the early 1900's! some days are just magical, don't you think? hope your day is one of those today! love to all:)
