I am in shock right now! We just had a visit from my ex husband (father to both my grown children) and ex mother-in-law. That is probably stirring up bad images but not to worry! We are all still very good friends!

My ex mother-in-law has a beautiful Christmas village that she use to set up every year but hasn't bothered with it in the past few Christmases. Very huge set up with mechanical parts, working fountains and waterfalls. She said she is giving the whole thing to me! She has 4 grown kids, numerous grandchildren and several great grandchildren but she wants me to have it!!! She knows how much I love Christmas and said I am the one who will get it because she knows how much I will cherish it! It will not be a conflict with anyone, they don't mind me having it either. It will stay in the family and eventually her great grandchildren will inherit it.

I am so touched by this gesture. It has made my day!

Now I have to figure out where am I going to set all this up at??? I have a large collection already. I will come up with something!

Wow! That is so nice. I think I remember you saying before, that you and your ex were still good friends. That is always a breath of fresh air, for everyone involved. That was very nice of her to give that to you. What a wonderful gift! Hope you enjoy!

Good evening!
I'm going to turn in soon. I'm extra tired tonight, Bentley woke me up at 3:00 in the morning and I tossed & turned until I finally got out of bed at 5:00. I don't know what I'm going to do with him. He's been jumping on my night table around the same time every night and starts making weird noises, some kind of cat jibberish. If I close my bedroom door he scratches it and then Maggie starts barking. I can't win! Speaking of Maggie, her veterinarian called me back tonight and told me about a specialist I can bring her to. I already made an appointment, I'm bringing her Monday afternoon. Maybe he'll be able to help her with the chronic coughing.
I hope everyone had a great day and enjoys the rest of their evening!
Goodnight!

Good luck with the appointment tomorrow. Hope the specialist is able to help Maggie.

Merry Friday!

Good Morning everyone. It is a rather nice morning so far. it is dry and the sun is out after heavy rain all night. I am taking the boys out in a bit to the shops and then to get their hair cut. I hope my little one will sit still for the hair dresser !

I don't really know how we got to Friday so quickly but it's been a good week. My eldest is enjoying his spring break form school. Mr. Festive is off next week which is wonderful.

I always organise an egg hunt for the boys on Easter Sunday so I need to start getting things together for that. I can't wait to see their little faces when they wake up and realise the Easter Bunny was here LOL!

Ok well I must dash. I am sorry I have not had the time to read and reply to posts.
Hope everyone is doing well!

Have the best day possible!!

Hope your DH enjoys his week off. My mother and I do an Easter egg hunt for my kids as well too. They'll be excited. I'm sure you're kids will be as well!

Hello everyone and happy Friday!!! I hope everyone is doing well. As I always say, I never intend to stay away from the forums as long as I do, time just seems to slip away, then I realize it's been several weeks since I came in here. I hope everybody has a great Friday and weekend!!!!:hi:

Great to see you, SIT! Hope you're doing well!

Yes, CAH, I do understand. We've seen him every time he's been in our area and we've been in the nosebleed section, but the tickets are so expensive and until we pay for the hotel, food, etc., it's insane. This year, we're going in June, a month early, for our anniversary, and will probably stay for the whole weekend, so we got nosebleed again, but DH got on right when they want on sale and tried to get best available, except he didn't want to get right by the stage because those were outrageous. We were already very high up. Oh well...maybe some day! Hope you're able to get them, if he comes near you, which I hope he does!!!!

Paul's front row tickets at face value are 2000 bucks and that includes soundcheck which would be a dream of mine because only a small group of people are allowed in for that. Rows 2 - 5 (I think 5th row) are 1500 bucks at face value - includes soundcheck as well. No one can scalp those tickets, thank goodness! You must show valid id along with those tickets to get in. They sell out too!

We actually scored tickets right next to the stage on the right side. We were just as close as front row but to the side of course and no soundcheck. Those were high priced but not near as high as rows 1-5! Scalpers were selling that row we were in and several rows higher than us for over 1000 bucks a piece! Insane! We paid face value - it was a splurge for us but worth every penny! We are not raising little kids anymore so time to have fun! =) You will get close tickets for Luke one day!!!

I took this picture from my seat. You can see 1st row where the security is standing, we are actually a little ahead of 1st row! The first two times I saw him it was nosebleed seats.

I was going to try and catch up on a few more post but gotta run! Going to work!

We are suppose to get some bad storms with possible tornadoes. I hate being away from home when this is going on. Keep us in prayer!

Good afternoon! What a beautiful day!

My sister sent the ham recipe this morning, so I wanted to send it on for those of you who were asking:

Bone in Ham Butt (I used a 9 or 10 # ham)
1# brown sugar
1 onion coarsely chopped

Place ham in oven bag (like you'd cook a turkey in). Throw in the brown sugar and onion. Tie bag closed and cut small slit in top of bag. Place in pan on lowest rack. Cook at 325 degrees 30 minutes per pound. Turn off oven and let set overnight (or 7 to 8 hours). Remove bone and shred ham.
Enjoy!

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!

Woot, woot!
