So glad it turned out to be nothing, Lyra. Bummer about the red meat, spaghetti and pizza, but very happy you can clink to Friday with a beer! LOL

Tomorrow is my grand-daughter Zoe's first birthday. The kids are having a pig roast to celebrate so that should be fun. Hard to believe she is already a year old!

Other than that, I hope to get some gardening done this weekend. Everything is so early this season because it's been so warm!

Have a good weekend, everyone!

Linda

AAH....Michael....that stinks...thinking all good thoughts for an over excited Dr....but better get it scanned and fixed than not...
Stay home....drink beer and pet the kitties.
I'm looking at the garden and watching the rain....so maybe I'll have to finally get some laundry sorted out....guests coming for dinner Sunday...

Fingers crossed that it is NBD, Lyra, but even the scare can be.... well... scary! Enjoy the beer even if there isn;t pizza and burgers to go with

Linda - have a great time at Zoe's Birthday! Take lot sof pictures too - they grow so fast!

I am on my way out to cut the grass and finalize the lawn cleanup for our annual Derby Day Party tomorrow. I will be clinking something later, but fot now it is straight Propel (peach) and lots of sun screen. Here's to a happy and safe weekend to all and everyone keep a positive thought for a great race tomorrow and let all those lovely Thoroughbreds come home safely.

Sunday is recouperation!

Alexa

Happy Friday everyone!

Lyra, What a relief to hear that the result came back negative. Hope all will go well for you from here on.

This week has been chaotic here, got lots of snow/rain/slush and yesterday was pretty much a big blizzard. Fortunately, today is sunny and no sight of snow. Seems like we will have a break before more snow next week. So will try to enjoy the decent weather for the next couple of days!

Al

Lyra- what a week indeed. Glad the results came back good.

Linda- I can't believe Zoe is a year old already. Enjoy your weekend.

Alexa- Hope you enjoy your Derby Day.

Al-I hear you about the weather. Temps below freezing a couple of days ago here and now it is supposed to be 80 today.

As for us, I am finishing up some sewing today while the landscapers are here working on the mulch. It will be a year tomorrow since Lily joined our family. It is supposed to rain all weekend here,so I hope to get some odds and ends done. DH is off on Monday so we have a long weekend to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.

Clinking with my Diet Pepsi.

Linda

Happy weekend everyone!

Lyra, so glad to hear it looks like NBD , we don't need drama in our lives!

Zoe, is a year....heck that makes me a year older too. Where does the time go!

Alex, I'll join you vicariously tomorrow as we watch the derby.

Hectic crazy weekend and week coming up. Meredith comes home Tuesday! Yay!!! She's been gone 16 months. It actually went quickly but I bet my baby that gets off that airplane isn't the same one that got on it 16 months ago!

Her BF's parents are driving from New Brunswick to be here when the kids arrive. Of course I had to offer to put them up. They arrive Sunday, the kids don't arrive until Tuesday evening and we don't know these folks at all!!! I have no idea when they all leave but I'll bet they are here to Thursday when Meredith heads off to grad school.

So I'm airing comforters, making beds, washing, cleaning and cooking this weekend! I really want to be in the garden but there is no way.

Wish me luck with the "inlaws!"

Good luck with your appointment on the 15th, Lyra.

Here's hoping your houseguests don't wear out their welcome, Chase.

This week was a food-filled one with attending a community college program in the kitchen of a Brazilian restaurant, a day of pinching pierogies at our church, presenting my "You'd Better Believe It's Butter!" program to a large fire company's women's auxiliary, and a terrific trip to a farmers' market this morning.

Have a great weekend and I'll be thinking of you, Alexa, when I put on my Derby hat.

good luck with everything lyra - your post made me smile though...:-) (well, the OTHER parts)

oh my gosh, Sharon - I can't believe Meredith's been gone that long - I can't wait to hear about her homecoming! She will have some tales to tell (or maybe she won't want to tell...) But I bet she's got lots of pics! (if she hasn't emailed them already)

Linda sounds like our weather....winter in the morning and summer in the afternoon.

I had forgotten about the derby - I'm guessing Scott did too. I'll have to remind him!

I've been out buying pots for my deck that was completed too late in the summer last year to do anything with...(I know - poor grammar) but I really want to spruce it up! Have had the pool heater going since this AM and it's up to 74 - so we will be swimming later I presume.

Quoits and grilled wings with the neighbors tonight....:-)

Stacy

Lyra, I'm glad you had good results, but I agree, get it checked out and make sure you're really clear, it can't hurt. Sorry about the pizza, though...

Sharon, she's been gone for 16 months and will only be home a few days before she leaves for grad school. Sigh. It won't be enough.....good luck with the "in laws". You're a great hostess, so lucky them!

Snow, Al? It's sunny and 80 here, and we have had nearly no rain the entire month of April. It's supposed to rain this weekend, and I'm sure hoping, we have forest fire warnings and all kinds of stuff, and I was hoping to reseed part of the hayfield, but with no rain, that's kind of pointless. And my garden isn't even plowed yet, I've just been hoping for rain and I don't care plant anything for a couple of weeks yet, we're still getting hard freezes at night.

ruthanna, you've sure been busy, but at leat you have lots of good food!

Linda, happy birthday to Zoe. I suggest you buy her a pony. (grin)

Mom2, scratch up those doxies for me...

Alexa, I suppose it's going to be Lookin' At Lucky, although he has a crappy pole position. I like the filly, Devil May Care, or Smarty Jones' son, Backtalk, gotta love a 50-1 shot, LOL.

The Derby just isn't the same with Dad gone, we spent the weeks before checking odds and bloodlines and jockeys, picked our favorites and place our "bet". Every year we bet $5 on the winner, and most years I beat him. (grin)

Ah well, here it's housecleaning, I have to get the garden plowed, I have more fence to put up, and I'm in serious mode putting appetizers for that wedding in the freezer. I've only got a month left...

Annie

Lyra, my DH went to the doctor once and he said he felt a huge mass in his neck. The doctor recommended he see an ENT but before he sees another doctor he should take out as much insurance as possible! He came home white as a sheet. I was furious with the doctor making a statement like that without any tests. DH went to the ENT and he said he didn't feel a thing. Didn't know what the first doctor was talking about....that was about 35 years ago. Stay cool and best wishes.
