Marching in Place

Welcome to March! Hello Daylight Savings Time.
Top of the Morning to ya and Hippety Hop Hop Hop. Hide the eggs until you drop. I think that about covers it. I am SO ready for warm weather and SPRING.

I didn't realize that it had been a month since I blogged. Where did that time go? How did I fill my days and nights? Since my last post I made a trip to Arkansas to see mom and my cousins and aunts and uncles. Mom was doing well and was happy to see me. She had gotten over her cold so I was really glad about that since there had been so many cases of flu in the nursing home. I also visited Atkins to see the destruction from the tornado that touched down there. My Aunt Susie lost everything she had when the funnel picked up her trailer and all of its contents. It also destroyed her daughter's house next door where they had taken shelter. So far, I don't believe they have found anything of hers. The trailer and everything gone in the blink of an eye. It was truly a miracle that none of them were hurt.

I got home from Arkansas on Wednesday and on that Friday, Keri and the boys came to my house. On Saturday, Lorretta, Carroll and Aunt Lucy came on their way back to Illinois from Florida. We had a great time together. The Laws left on Sunday but Keri and the boys stayed until Tuesday. We were able to celebrate Austin's 11th birthday with chocolate birthday cake for breakfast!!

Two days later I flew to Houston to see Jason and Mandy. I got to see Mandy's engagement ring up close and personal while I was there. Jason proposed to her while they were in Jamaica earlier in the month. No date has been set yet. I am so excited for them. I LOVE Love!! My grandson Fe'de flew to Houston from New Orleans on Friday night and spent the weekend with us. We had a crawfish boil on Saturday and went to the Museum of Natural History on Sunday. I flew back to Alabama on Tuesday. So....guess I have been home a week now. WHEW!

I have been to the fitness center some but not enough. I am afraid that some day I will be perfectly round. euughhh

Last Saturday I put the house back up for sale. Keri got me hooked up with a new realtor and we will see what happens now. Hopefully it will sell before too long. Apparently I still don't know what the plan is but I know this is the right time to sell. The sign is outside and it is probably on the Internet now but not out in the real estate books yet.

I also decided to take a road trip to Louisiana for Easter. It would just be too weird to be here at Easter alone. Most of the kids and grand kids have come to Alabama for the last three years at Easter. Since I don't want to miss the fun, I will make the drive to their houses and stay for a few days. I haven't been to Louisiana since before Christmas so it is time.

After I return from Louisiana I only have one more trip planned. I am flying to Orlando to one of my best friend's (Linda) house. We are probably going to go to a beach for a few days. (wish I had lost that weight I meant to lose) I will be there from the 8th until the 13th. It should really be a good time.

Nothing else is planned after that. Maybe I will go to work. Maybe I will just go crazy. Who knows. I will keep you posted.

Have a Blessed Easter.
