Happy Saturday to everyone! :hi:

I'm enjoying a mug of "tea" made from cacao shells (cacao is what chocolate is made from). It has a nice chocolate flavor, and the only fat and calories come from the bit of sugar and dash of milk that I add. Mmmmm! Wish it weren't so pricey, though. I could drink it a couple times a day.

Cat came around a few times this week. I think Cat's a "she," and I think she may be expecting, from the look of her tummy. She dashed into the house the other day when I opened the door---something she's never done before. I was able to pick her up and take her back outside. She may be looking for a "nesting place" to have kittens in, and I'd rather it wasn't in our house!

Gotta run up to the North Shore later for an appointment and to stop at L.L.Bean to look for some new clothing. It's cool today but it's sunny, so it'll be a nice drive. (It's a little over an hour away.)

Thinking about another mug of cacao tea, but I don't want to use it up too fast---I just got it yesterday! It's a 4 oz. tin, and it takes 2-3 tsp for a serving, so it may not last long.

Happy Saturday, to you, too!! Chocolate tea, cats and L.L. Bean - Merry, you are having one heck of an awesome day cheesy

My oldest grandson is spending the night tonight. It is so much fun to get to spend time with one grandchild at a time. When I have all 3 at once it gets a little hectic at times and they have their occasional arguments. But that's kids! cheesy

My job will be closed for Easter but Wayne and I will go up there in the morning to feed the animals before church.

It will be a great weekend!

I hope you all have a marvelous weekend too!

Hope you enjoyed the evening with your grandson!

Last night, close to 1am, someone knocked on the front door. It was a young girl, about 16, and she was crying. I let her in, and she told us that she and a boy she was riding with had an argument, and he put her out of the car. I could smell cigarettes all over her, it smelled like she'd been at a party or a bar. Anyway, we let her call her mom, but her mom refused to come pick her up. She started crying again, saying she would just walk home, about 10 miles. Of course I took her home, but it was in a very VERY rough part of town, so I didn't stick around long. Now I'm beat, 'cause it took me a while to get back to sleep.

What kind man you are, Brad! That was so nice of you to do that, for a young girl you didn't even know. God Bless you!

Good evening, Christmas family

Looks like I failed the latest test due to some technical factors....No matter. I am going to keep looking.

CAH, MerryCarey, Christmasstar, Sugar, Shellie12, Big (((((HUGS)))) to all of you just because xo

Made - You are far too modest. You are a wonderful uncle and a wonderful young man and I am proud to call you my friend xo

It's okay, CM3. I have faith in you and am behind in you! That's the attitude to have.

Big hugs to you! Happy Easter!

One more thing. I just read that Thomas Kinkade has died. That's pretty shocking. He was only 54 year's old. My prayer's go out to his friends and family.

That is so shocking! He was a good author and a great painter. Prayers for his family!

I want to be with you more too. Plus I don't like you being home alone in that neighborhood. Not the worst neighborhood in the world, but not the best either.

I am not alone. Remember our adult son and dogs live here. The dogs are like pit bulls that protect me, and the grandkids and my parents come over often. Our daughter and son-in-law live right by us. cheesy But it would still be nice to have you here too!

Well I guess I worded that wrong, I just meant I would feel better being here with you. You are right, you are never alone.

On another note, It's amazing that no one was killed in that navy jet crash yesterday. When you look at all of the destruction it's hard to believe that no one was home in the building they hit.

I think it is so amazing too - when my hubby told me about it, I couldn't believe noone was home at the time. God was truly looking out for these people at the time.

So much for people being nice on Good Friday. Someone broke into my aunt & uncle's and stole from them.

Sorry to hear that, Jennifer. Hope they weren't home when it happened, and are ok!

Hello all,

Busy day today, probably be busier tomorrow. We are in great shape for post-Easter, getting ahead of the game is the battle. We will be doing most of the cooking for Easter meal, I have my spoon roast thawing in the fridge, I have to get up in a few minutes to make the chocolate peanut butter balls. Tomorrow will be here before I know it, soooooo...

MMMmmmm!!!! Send some our way, please!! :wink:

Good night everyone.

Good Friday evening, my Christmas friends! (Get it? Good FRIDAY?)

My son and I worked in the yard all afternoon, and it looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. I hope to put the lattice around the deck tomorrow, then I can work toward staining and sealing.

Last night, close to 1am, someone knocked on the front door. It was a young girl, about 16, and she was crying. I let her in, and she told us that she and a boy she was riding with had an argument, and he put her out of the car.

Now I'm beat, 'cause it took me a while to get back to sleep.

I hope y'all have a great evening!

When you started this story, I thought of the movie "The Strangers".

How nice of you to help her like that, Brad!! It makes you wonder what kind of home life she has, how sad.
You truly are a gentleman!!

Poor Scooby. Sorry to hear this, Shellie. I will pray that he feels better soon. I'll also say some prayers for you, I'm sure you are worried because that's what we do when someone we love is sick. Hang in there. xo
