Just us again Mick? Where is everyone??

I did see your video Mick, the deer were precious & probably on the way to chewing up someone’s fruit trees, haha!
YB had to go see the eye specialist again today, keeping an eye on the ‘freckle’ in the back of one of his eyes. There’s been no change in 6 months so that was good. I had to do the 45 minute drive home because he was basically blinded by all the eye drops they used. Some wanker in a pickup truck sped by me on the left & hit the driver’s side mirror - scared the crap out of me. He just kept going, never a thought about stopping. My mirror is actually OK because it folded inwards toward me, not a scratch on it. What a jerk!!!
Sunny here for the most part & 70 degrees again so no complaints. Make sure Jeeves follows directions for your garden, haha!

Hello to PQ, Cyn, Pauly, Det, Sam & Pie. Hope everyone is OK.
Have a nice night all!

MAE ALL...

Sorry for not keeping up with everyone but have been dealing with restoring our Racquet Club website thanks to the Program Coordinator thinking she knew what she was doing. Aarrgg! It's supposed to go live on Wednesday! On top of that my newsletter deadline is this Friday and yet again I'm waiting for the Program Coordinator to submit her articles. OK, enough venting about the PC!

We have gone back to a partial lockdown due to the P1 variant but I fear it's not going to be enough. I can see a full lockdown coming in 2 weeks. I certainly wouldn't want our Premier's job right now. Just staying home and staying safe.

It was a nice 60F today but snow is on it's way again tonight. Hoping everyone is doing ok....PPQP

Mae all, so sorry to be away... inundated with details, and packing up once again to move... this will be the last time of moving here in the east - next step, get in the car and head west... so I have been lost in the world of "details and what is going where now?!"

Lav, I gasped out loud when I read about your car mirror. I'm glad the guy just kept driving, I read recently about an altercation on the I95 corridor that was chilling. Road rage and guns definitely don't mix well. Sorry about the allergies - good luck with that. But I bet the blooming trees are beautiful (from afar!). Take care of yourself.

Pauly, always so good to hear from you - good luck with those guinea pigs and allergies!

Mick, Jeeves is doing a superb job in the yard. So glad you are OK taking your instructions from him. Loved the poem, made me laugh, thank you!

PPQ, you sound crazed at work, so sorry! Stay in, stay well... now the Brit variant is the major strain in the US... you stay well!

Hello to Det, Sam and all...

New moon on Sunday... time to think about intentions... I love seeing the moon sliver early in the mornings before the light comes on fully...
Wishing all well --

Mae everybody, PQ, at least your PM is making a better decision for now, I'm really kinda pissed off at the governor's in these states here that are opening full blast, what the damn rush??? Money. Our governor is rumored to be getting rid of masks on May first, whatever I'm still gonna wear mine, I get that people are bored at this point but I'd really hate to see cases skyrocket again for being careless, Lav, can't believe your grands have gotten so grown up! When I came here they were tiny, Cyn, love your posts on FB, it's nice to keep up with you that way Mick hope you're enjoying yourself, Det too, much love to all and wishes for a great BF Thursday!

We start at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning and hopefully will have it completed same day I guess I'm going to be pretty tired tomorrow. And then Saturday and Sunday we will be getting the van ready for the off on Monday day ones I have taken the rabbits to there holiday home ma.

Greetings friends,

Had another nice weather day but rain is arriving for the weekend, that’s OK with me.
Spent another afternoon accompanying YB to a medical appt, I think that’s all for a while. Just had to search for a new vet as ours suddenly decided to close. I was lucky to get an appt for the dog for the 26th with a new vet.

PQ, so sorry you’re dealing with so much BS at work
Taking care of yourself is top priority now!! We can’t do anything about the lockdowns, just behave & do as instructed. Hope you really didn’t get a lot of snow, that’s not needed at this point.

Cyn, will you be staying in the same general area? How rough to keep picking up & moving along with everything else. Wish we could help
We will be with you bin spirit, know that!

Pauly, Until the majority of the country is vaccinated I am not going near any crowds. I’m not stupid & I can certainly wait until it’s safer.
I am pleased about the # of people getting vaccinated though. Here in PA anyone 16 & over can from April 19 forward. There have been reports of kids spreading the virus in schools lately, a lot of people won’t let their kids ride the school bus because of the closed in, tight seating. We need to stay vigilant & help suffocate this virus. My youngest grandkids are both 10 now, no more cute little kid stuff, haha!
The oldest is 12 & he’s already an inch taller than me. I told him I can still kick his butt if I have to haha!

Mick, you certainly have your work cut out for you! Watch. Your back!!!!!
When we leave here to go to the Delaware or Maryland beaches we have about the same distance to drive. It’s nice to be away but not too far.
I have 2 self-cleaning ovens in my kitchen so I just need to clean the cooktop once in a while - that’s enough for lazy me.

Hello to Det, Sam & Pie.

Have a nice night all!

Hello

Guess I’ll check back later!!

MAE ALL...

Lav....sorry I didn't get a chance to post earlier but I'm here now. It was newsletter deadline today and it was a pain in the a$$. Someone would submit an article, I'd forward to my publisher and then they'd send an ooops I made a mistake and send an updated version. Happened 4 times! It's hard enough formatting the thing without having to change it all the time. And of course the program coordinator never did send her article in. Managed to get the Racquet Club website up and running again so that's off my plate. We had a nice weather day here as well, not that I was able to take advantage of it. LOL Also getting rain/snow tomorrow. Nothing's sticking around so that's ok. Everybody has gone nuts over the new lockdown and are defying the orders. I can't believe how stupid some people can be. I have upped my game and staying home as much as possible. If I go out I stay away from everyone. Glad you were able to get an appointment with a new vet I'm sure that took a load of your mind.

TG...I can't believe the amount of packing/moving/repacking you've had to go through. I thought you were heading west and I'm sure you'll be glad when you finally get in the car and head out. I'm so impressed with your positive attitude through out everything. You stay safe as well.

Pauly...I was shocked to hear about those states fully opening up and eliminating the mask requirements. Things are getting scary here with the positive cases all variants. I'll be glad when I get my vaccine and until then I'm hiding out at home.

Mick...I hope that you're just exhausted with all that work and that you haven't thrown your back out or anything. I bet you guys can hardly wait for your getaway on Monday.

Thinking of the rest of the gang. I have to shut this computer off, my eyes are killing me. LOL Have a good night all....PPQP

if you look at the raised bed ..you will see I continued it along ..all the waste soil and old turf built it up and lawned it too..I had my fit bit on ..barrowing stuff from front to back I walked a distance of 7 .33 miles .so now I have got to give ita chance and keep the peskies off it ..I will fence it for about 3 weeks but sacrifice the border bit to them.


looks a nice day out there ....hope we are all well..
