My goodness, I am late thanking all of you for the sweet comments. I had so much fun last week with DGD and pooch! Must admit it is more work than I remembered! Marlene, I love those polka dot plates. I'm excited to set a ts with my purple set too. Karen, I did HOP!!! Now I know I'm capable of a lot more than I normally do in the mornings. I can fix pancakes, bacon and do the dishes as well as get another one ready for the day!!! Creek, TJ is a fun addition to my decorating. Can't thank Jeanne enough for that. Seems like my batteries are not keeping a full charge any more.sigh Wish it was as easy as buying some new ones.LOL I worked outside all day yesterday and it really kicked my butt! So appreciate all the sweet comments ladies. Hope all of you have a Wonderful Easter. I did get my pie crusts and dinner rolls made last weekend and in the freezer.Woohoo Punk

Hi everybody. Kathy, yes, I want to get my little plants into the ground, but I'll have to wait a while longer---may have killed my squash plant. I need to check on him.lol Gals, I'm in a rather bad mood today! I think it's just too much "togetherness" with my DH. I love the guy, but... I need some time for myself. Know what I mean? I'm going into MY room, which is actually the dining room where I have a computer in an armoire and some of my things in a file cabinet, some books, etc.-----and chill out in MY ROOM---ALL ALONE. Walked this morning, had toast and turkey bacon and some apple butter --yum yum. Okay. I had a real egg. I'm bad. Haven't had lunch yet. McPeg, I love those flavored waters. I've tried doing some of my own flavorings, but they just don't taste as good as the store-bought kind. Peach is my favorite. Take care, all. I've got a ton to do, we haven't decided yet if everyone's coming here for Easter dinner or we're going to a lodge or something. I may vote "lodge." They have a nice buffet dinner and then we usually walk, tour, etc. Lodge, I say. Lodge! PS This year, after seeing the movie "Passion of the Christ" I just don't feel right about doing the Easter bunny thingy ( and I love bunnies and stuff) so I'm thinking about instead doing some cookies in the shape of fish and having a story with each person's gift about the resurrection and how Jesus met with Peter and other deciples along the sea and they ate fish and talked before he ascended to heaven. A celebration without bunnies. I wish there was a separate spring holiday with bunnies and stuff---aside from Easter. Oh, well. Traditions are sometimes hard to break. I'll have to find a low-fat cookie recipe 'cause I know I'll want to eat a few.

She looks so excited!

Sherry, Thanks Sherry! I definitely will kill it next time...I didn't see it until I was reviewing my pics. I'm glad to hear that you, my replied upon expert, don't think that the aphids will hurt the eggs :) I've got 10 good size plants now but as you know, they can devour the leaves very quickly. Rhonda
