helian, is your DH also a DIYer, or is it something that the girls are just good at?
Frenchie, I was hanging the curtains as DH and the kids were pulling in the driveway
L.Ann, I love tulips! But they are super pricey this year, so I am foregoing my usual habit of buying a bouquet a week for the kitchen.
kitkat, yikes about the washer! Hoping the unplugging will work!

LOL, trissie, I had that healthy snack after spending the evening stuffing myself on pizza. I'm glad that you got to enjoy the lovely Easter service before your busy day.
Woo hoo on beating the deadline to get the dgirls' room ready.


Congratulations to helia's DD on her acceptance into graduate school. That sounds like a great move, giving the dog direct access to the yard.

FrenchFly, I have to say that the Easter Bells story makes a much sense as rabbits bringing eggs, LOL, and it makes a lovely story.

Tulips sound lovely, L.Ann. Are these cut flowers, or potted plants?

Hi, kitkat. Dpup, pursuing her own ideas about a well-decorated house.

Hi, Peaches

[helia]

L Ann, I love the idea of a flower subscription!
I also like the Easter Bells story, FFB! I hope the seaside was fun if a bit damp.
Is your washer working now, kitkat?
trissie, dh is a fantastic DIY-er, and the girls take after him in that way. He is very mechanical and can build/ fix/ make almost anything. He's a traditional engineer that way, though his job is more theoretical. He doesn't have the time to DIY much now, however.
I hope you're having a lovely day, Doggedly!

We're home from church, and I've finished lunch. I'm going to go for a jog next, and maybe pop in on Mom again. When I went this morning, she wasn't up and out of bed yet at 9:30 a.m. I asked, and they said someone was coming to get her. Hmm... Her bottom teeth looked awful; I wonder if they got brushed last night. Her caregiver yesterday said that she brushed her teeth yesterday morning.

Dinner is at 5:30. I'll aim to be home by 4:15-ish to do some house spiffing and make a salad.

Next:
- lights to dryer
- dress to jog
- jog

Later:
- pop in on Mom
- tidy living areas
- dust living room
- s/s main bathroom
- make bed
- make a salad
- work on getting the table set up for 13 people; we don't even own that many chairs to put around the table, I think. Well, if we use the piano bench, I think we can do it
- 5:30 - 8-ish? Host Easter dinner
- after dinner clean up
- update health apps
- duo
- 8:15-ish family zoom call
- lists for the week?
- payroll: end of session tasks

[kitkat]

helia - no idea... Haven't made it back down there yet...
Hope Dmom is doing ok.
Dogged - I've never had a pup so "into" toys...
Hi Peaches
It is always a busy week, isn't it, trissie?

We are back from walk,
more kitchen clean up...
If I don't make it back here, you know where I am...

Enjoy the evening, Everyone!

[L.Ann]

The tulips are cut ones, Dogged. They actually pull them up by the bulb each year in order to get long enough stems with leaves. We can usually get decent priced bouquets at the Amish, Trissie, if I manage to get that far! Not excusing your mom’s care helian but I figure 10 or 10:30 before I can count on my mom being ready for the day. That being said I think she is probably one of the last ones they get ready as she rarely gets out of bed and refuses to participate in any activities. Hi peaches. Our dog’s toys rarely spend much if any time in the toy bin, KitKat.
