Merry Monday, all! Just dropping in to let everyone know that my (previously broken) leg has healed like a champ. I don't even need a cane now, and I am slowly but surely regaining enough flex in the ankle region to be able to play the pedals when I play the organ. I am very, very pleased! On another bright note, I weighed myself today and I lost 15 pounds during this little adventure. I am planning on taking full advantage of this, and am now actively watching what I eat. Exercise is still a little rough; even though I'm not using a cane I still have a pretty good lurch going on when I walk. But when all is said and done, I'm doing really well. Hey, it's even sunny here today! Whoooo!

Wonderful news MerryBells!

Spent all morning looking for some sort of Easter bunnies for the tree. Finally come across the kind with beans in their butt that had to be removed due to being quite heavy. Quality Easter deco is kinda scarce this year.

Mom is doing pretty well! She's just a little depressed after the doc told her it would be May 1st until she's back to 100%, but one day at a time. She almost fell Saturday. My hubby caught her - she twisted her ankle & now has a sore ankle! But other than that, she's hanging in there like a champ!

Continued prayers for your mom Holiday. Thank God your hubby caught her, I hope she feels better (((hugs)))

oh goodness so sorry to hear she had a minor accident. Thank goodness she has you guys to look after her until she is 100%. May isn't that far away! Continued prayers for you guys.
was there a funeral for your SIL? Hope it passed well (((Hugs)))

Take good care of yourself. Hope you and Gracie are back to your mischievous selves in no time

Evening all,
Hope your day is going well. We have a few things to get done tonight after the kids are in bed. Then hopefully we can have a little quiet time to unwind before bed. Tomorrow is another busy day

but at least I can look forward to a whole weekend off! Mr Festive will be in Germany from the end of the week till Monday so it will be just me and boys this weekend.

Thank you! That is what I am doing. I really did think about going to my SIL's this afternoon, but I decided to hang low at home. I really am feeling better but I still have a sore throat & coughing a little. I don't have a lot of energy. No need to share my germs. I am on the couch under my cozy blankey!

You are right - May ISN'T far away!

Hopefully she will prove him wrong!

We have not had a burial for my SIL yet. She was cremated, so we had to wait on that - as well as her half brother in Germany had to sign off on papers so that she could be cremated. Everything is taking more time than we are use too. There is a chance we will have it Thursday if every thing is complete.
Gracie has shown me a few signs of her usual mischievous self today! Love it!

Thanks Festive!

I hope you have a chance to unwind before bed time! Safe travels for your Mr. Festive! Any plans with your boys while your hubby is gone?
