Happy Monday! For the first day of spring, yesterday wasn't all that nice of a day but today should be. Yay!

I am going to have to be quick this morning. I made a Drs appt for 9 am. I need to get some refills on Rxs and when I called last week, they said that I could make an appt for that day. This Dr's office is 5 minutes from my house (if that) but is always backed up seeing patients for a really long time. One time, I was there with Caitlyn and we had to walk out, we had waited for almost 2 hours- and that was with an appt. They take walk-ins which is better than driving down to the ER. If I can make an appt, I try to get in as early as possible. They open at 7 so *fingers crossed* that they aren't running behind by 9.
That normally wouldn't be a problem but I also have to get dinner in the crockpot before I leave (since I could be gone anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours and 15 minutes ;) ). I am making corned beef for Gary and Scott. It is the one time a year I will eat a little bit of beef. The recipe I use is really delicious, never comes out dry. Scott ordered corned beef when he was at Trivia Night (they were at a Thatchers McGee so you'd think they would have a good recipe themselves LOL) and said that mine is so much better.

Now that I have written all of that out, I realize how much time I wasted in doing so. o_O HA!!!!
Bottom line, I have a busy up-and-out morning but my afternoon is free which means that I am going to try to do some yard clean-up then.

HAGD!!

@LSlycord My heart just filled up for you and Syd after reading about your day. Such a good memory day, you should scrap it even if you don't have photos. The journaling will be treasured.
I am not sure how you watched A Dog's Purpose. I cannot watch or read any of that genre and I was gifted several of those books. I have to donate them somewhere. They make me cry and I can't have that. *wry smile*
Shaun's project also sounds like a perfect future scrap opportunity!
YES!! ITA about the surgery order, if things drag on for my mom, it won't take much for her to put it off longer.

*butting in* I have to say I am a little concerned about the new family for Decker. If they are anxious, IMHO the dogs are going to sense that and that doesn't sound like a good mix. I hope that they can get over that before they make a final decision. Are they working with a trainer? Again IMNotSoHumbleOpinion, they should with both dogs.

@BrightEyes What the wha? Snow and sleet and then 70*s!? The weather is messed up lately. Hope that it is safe for you to drive Chari this afternoon. Your day sounds like a perfect Girls Day!!

@Lynn Grieveson Sorry about you heading into Fall. Do you get a lot of snow or just cold and damp and grey? Believe me, I understand how that affects mood and have to use a therapy light to keep the worst of it at bay.
I hope that you are able to travel sometime soon. Any news on the fridge delivery?

@bcgal00 Oh wow, what awesome photo-finds! I hope that you are able to get them sorted and scanned once you are all (mostly *winks*) settled. You will have a lot of material to scrap. I am really excited for you, exploring the new trails and places to take the dogs.

@Cherylndesigns Girls Gone Wild- hahaha, I think I would see you all coming and run the other way. (JK, you know I would be begging to join in!)
Ellie Belly sounds adorable!! How old is she? I have had three labs (lab "mixes") but only Ray actually looked or acted anything like a lab. heh. Rescues know that labs are easier to adopt out than pit mixes like Jaida or whatever the heck Whisky is. ;)
And-- PICTURES!! I need pictures!!! :D
I love the weed garden idea, I really need to get some seeds too

xoxo!

Good Morning and Happy Spring to you all! It is a very rainy grey day here, but the colours are coming out! The Heather is blooming everywhere and it is so pretty to see all that pink! The daffodils are starting to flower too and soon the tulips will join them. Hooray!! Now if the rain would just stop we could be outside enjoying all the blossoms! It was another busy weekend for my DH and myself, what else is new?? We did have a bad thing happen to us on Saturday afternoon, after we came home from grocery shopping and errand running, we were in the kitchen and heard this huge explosion!! We looked at each other and said WTH was that?? Went outside and looked around, but there was nothing going on. So we hoped that it wasn't anything terrible like a car crash or something up the road. We went about the rest of the day not thinking anymore about it. Sunday morning I got a txt saying that an item I had ordered from Staples was ready to be picked up, well I went to the garage and the garage door would not open. Hmmmph, so DH came to check on it. Yup, that's right the spring was broken, that was the huge bang we heard on Saturday. Grrrrr!!! So a repair guy is coming this morning at 9am to replace it. Well the price of steel is of course record high right now and so we figure this is going to cost a small fortune to repair. It never ends does it?!! So I will have to be quick with personals this morning and get myself dressed before the guy get here.

@faerywings - Chris I sure hope that you don't have to wait hours to see the doctor! That is crazy to have to wait that long, especially when you have an appointment! Hope you had time to get your meal in the crock pot! My DH would love your corned beef I bet, its his favourite! I am not a huge fan however. Happy to hear that you will be having a nicer day weather wise, our first day of spring was sunny, but very windy! Now today it is pouring rain, but at least the wind has stopped.

@LSlycord - Oh your day with your daughter sounded just perfect! What I wouldn't do to have a day like that with my Heather again! I am so happy for you! Lovely to have the birds singing around you and the warmer weather too! So great that your Syd is such a good driver! Nice that you drove home though. I haven't watched that movie yet, I'm afraid I would bawl my eyes out LOL. However sometimes that might not be a bad thing to let out all those tears!

@BrightEyes - Kay what a lovely day you had with your daughter too! You must have been very busy with all that cooking, but I bet you loved every minute! What crazy weather you are having! Sure makes you wonder what Mother Nature is up too!

@Lynn Grieveson - Oh that's right you are heading into Fall! Hope you can get things sorted with the house exchange! My brother and Sister- In-Law used to do that when they would head to Australia to visit their kids, but the past couple of years have been much more difficult to do that. I am expecting them back here in a couple of weeks after being in Australia for three months and looking forward to hearing all about the flooding etc where they were.

@bcgal00 - Wow that is great that you have sold everything that you wanted to! You must be getting excited for the move and to check out all the new trails and wildlife in your new digs!! I was happily playing with my new goodies from you yesterday! Thanks again! I just love them!

@Cherylndesigns - Ha, Ha a day with girlies, what a fun time you must have had! Awww on the new chocolate lab, they are so sweet!! Too funny that Chuck rolled his eyes at you when you said you wanted one! Your Daisy would be so jealous!!

Ok its getting close to 9am and I have to get dressed CYL!!

Good morning ladies. Its hard to believe we'll be out of here next Wed. Jen is coming over soon to help pull out the boxes from the storage under the stairs.

Today the news said it is "common curtesy day". This is something many people are lacking these days.

I started "Rock Paper Scissors" but not sure if I'm interested in it or not. I'll give it another few pages and see if it grabs me.

@faerywings Sounds like a hassle going to the doctor but at least you have one. Its weird and kind of scary to think we won't have a doctor in Kamloops. We'll get on the list but I hear it'll be about 2-3 yrs before we get one. Let's hope we stay healthy. \

@taxed4ever Hope the garage spring isn't too pricey.

I'd better get on with my day. Have a great day everyone.

Oh my gosh @bcgal00 I can't believe you have to wait that long for a doctor! :eek: Hope you enjoy sorting the storage stuff :)

@faerywings No snow sadly, just lots of grey skies and murk and wind. It can get quite the chill factor. In a year or to we will move North (ie where it's sunnier and warmer - as well as closer to my parents). My eldest asked DH if he could just stay here and buy a therapy light LOL, but I don't think that will cut it. Mind you, I might buy him one anyway once the house sells.

@taxed4ever sorry about the garage :eek:

Good afternoon. I started this in the AM, but got interrupted.

I'm kind of tired today - Girls Gone Wild sapped me - actually it was the almost 2 hour drive (over and back) - since I have motion sickness. I have to take Meclizine to even ride that far and then I'm tired the next day. Chris @faerywings I KNOW you would be right in the middle of our shenanigans. We'd love that!!

Ellie Belly is 8 weeks old and SO cute! Here are a couple of pics.

Ava took her over to the lake yesterday after we got home. Isn't she a cutie?

Trudy @taxed4ever I hope that spring doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I was shocked at how the prices had gone up while we were at TJMaxx. Prices on Amazon have gone up a little, but I hadn't been to a big box store for awhile. Things were really marked up compared to what they used to be. Yes, Daisy would be so jealous - she was jealous of just the time Ava had her here. She was jealous when we got the cat but now she's over it. They're BFF's.

I'm going to get off of here and sort my mess - I started "organizing" my desk drawers - UGH - what a job.

Chris @faerywings I hope you're done with the dr appt by now. That would stink to have to wait that long.
