OMG, I am more date-challnged today than ever. I had to screenshot what I typed up there just now:
1683716711897.png

Mapril?? Yesterday I almost wrote April" but caught myself. I think I am in the same mental state today.:lol23:
I guess when the days/weeks/months blur together, "Mapril" makes sense.

How was yesterday for you all?
The weather was cool but sunny and it was nice to be outside in the afternoon. I kept digging up the tarp that had been buried years ago, cutting it into pieces that I could grab and pull. I am starting to move some perennials in that area now that it gets sunshine. Previously, it was shaded by a huge tree that we had to take down because it was dead and dropping large branches near our roof. I have to do it all by hand because we have at least one dead pet buried there. I blocked off the spot I know there is a box and haven't come across any others. *fingers crossed that I don't*
Because the soil is 99% decomposed leaves, I think the plants will be very happy there.

I finished my scrap page and Cindy @scribler gave it a Finger Pionting GSO! I was shocked, especially since I wasn't all that crazy about it. But it sure helped build some confidence back. ♥

I have to pick up my grocery order this morning and then fold the laundry that I ran, then ignored yesterday. I think I will wash all of the wine glasses so they are ready for Sunday brunch. (If I write it down, I am much more likely to follow through. If I simply think it-- ain't gonna happen LOL) The rest of the day will be mine, mine, mine. More yard work for sure.

I want to see Tif. Or a Tif Jr. It's weird not having any toads to talk to although I had some friendly words with a garter snake yesterday. (I was saying hello to him and was outside the LR window. Gary shouts out of the window --who am I talking to? Snake Friend!!
I wish I could spend all day outside and not be in pain later on.
I also wish I could be outside and not worry about ticks or poison ivy. Oh, the irony of doing what I love most while taking my life and skin into my hands every time I do. :rotfl:

Hope you all have a wonderful and happy day!

@vickyday How was the meeting with your girls? I thought of you when I was at my brother's house Sunday. They have Qwirkle and the second I saw it on the shelf, yup, you popped right into my mind.
That's such a smart idea to pre-order pages so you can lick in att the sale price. How do you keep track of them all though? I would end up reordering the same pages 10 times LOL

@Nonni F Isn't that the best? Long days and lots of sunlight after dinner

@taxed4ever oooooh, the turtle came out amazing, love the pops of yellow that brighten it all up! You always astound me with your talent. You are amazing!! :loveyeyes:
Did you and Linda get all of the "kayaks to the water" bugs figured out yesterday? It's wonderful to hear that you are enjoying them so much already :) Enjoy the hike today, are you planning on a long soak in the hot tub when you get home?

@Cherylndesigns
Ava saw me and here she came and made minced meat out of the other 5 bags.
Hahah! Of course, she did!:monkebootie:
I like the black mulch too.
WOW!!! Thank you for looking on Amazon! I am going to check it out! (re: hair stuff)

@Nonni F Love your tip about the poison ivy and my gawd, I am trying my best! Soon enough you'll be out with the cats and the wine and the PSP!

@joyfulheartdesigns Hi Jennnnnnnn! :waving1 Do you see how often I use all of the smilies you added???

hugs to you all! HAGD!

I think I like your new month of Mapril!
Curious.....do you rake your leaves to a particular spot in the fall purposefully so they can decompose? Does it all happen over the winter time?
Congrats on your GSO! I need to do some commenting in the gallery today so I will be sure and check your page out!

Morning ladies! Just a quick pop in here today, to :thankyouspin: all for the kind comments on my painting! I am taking off in a couple of mins for my hike. It is a spectacular morning, not a cloud in the sky, so our hike should be great and I bet there will be many of us! I hope that you all have lots of sunshine and fun things to do today! I will catch up with all of you tomorrow! :waving1

Had a great meeting yesterday, as always! Mark told me to "play" as long as I wanted! What a guy! ;). We got back to Ilene's around 2 and played Qwirkle until about 6:30. Decided to go out to get something to eat, so we went to our favorite restaurant. Carolyn and I had salads. Ilene got a meal. I ordered a take out meal for Mark, too. Not sure what he ate, if anything, before I got home, but he told me to surprise him but to include Mac and cheese with it, LOL! So I did! I got him the 12 oz. beef tips, Mac and cheese and green beans with Texas toast. YUM!

Good Morning!
Had a great day with my friends yesterday. Mark told me to spend as long with them as I wanted and not to be in a hurry about getting home! So, after the widows' meeting, which always includes lunch, we went back to Ilene's. We played Qwirkle from about 2 to 6:30 and then decided to go out for a late supper. Carolyn and I ate a grilled chicken salad while Ilene got a beef tips meal. I ordered a beef tips meal for take out for Mark since I was going home after I dropped Ilene and Carolyn off.

That was my day yesterday. Something gave me BAD acid indigestion through the night! It had to have been something I ate at supper or after I got home. I took some meds around 1 a.m. and that helped some, but I saw every hour roll around! I had a slight headache when I got up this morning but it has eased with Tylenol. Mark wanted to go to lunch today but I told him I needed to baby my stomach today, so we will probably go tomorrow.

The drive started out yesterday with clouds and sprinkles, but turned into a beautiful day! Today looks to be the same. The temps were in the low 80's yesterday. Not sure what today looks like temp-wise. I might take the laptop out on the deck and do some scrapping while I nurse my tummy!

Have a great day to all!

I've just got a minute - I've had lots of phone calls, etc. today and did manage to get one page uploaded. Adrienne and I are going to get our nails done at 3, so I only have an hour to get a few things done then get ready (or vice versa). I had to get all the old polish off (I did them myself) before I go in there. Why do I worry about that? That's what they do, right? It's before cleaning before the housecleaner comes.

Chris @faerywings my black mulch looks gorgeous, and I knew you'd love hearing about Ava knocking out the other five bags in just a few minutes.

Waving to all and Happy Hump Day. :waving1

BTW, I meant to tell you that I move my layouts into a folder entitled, "Already posted" and then when I get the printed pages back, I move the page into a folder entitled, "Already printed." I know.....original, right? ;)
