Happy Thursday! Can you believe that April is almost over. This year is off to a flying start. My Mom had her 96th birthday yesterday. She is in good health. My sister came down to Pittsburgh from upstate New York and my youngest lives there. I was able to Facetime her and wish her a happy birthday. I will be heading up there next Thursday for Mother's Day. 

I know it has been a strange time, but do you have any plans for Mother's Day? 

I hope the rest of your week is awesome.

Many of my features come from you my commenters. Don't forget to leave your Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you could become one of my featured commenters next week.

You're The Star - Creative Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Home Feature Week

Happy Monday and welcome to the party. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was good. I spent time with my daughter. I don't always have her to myself, but this weekend I did. It was so nice.
We took long walks and cooked dinner together. 

Hubby is in Vermont so it was just the two of us. It is nice to have that time together with my daughter. 

I am wishing you a great week ahead.

Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to our link party! We are so glad you are here. I hope your weekend has been great so far.

Mine has been awesome. I have been working on a couple of projects that needed to be painted. So while they were drying I was working on my garden. The weeds seem to be growling faster than the vegetables. Why is that? My black raspberries are doing so well. I love picking them and especially eating them. They are so sweet. 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Each week bloggers stop by to share their best recipes, crafts, home decor ideas, organizing tips, fashion tips and more for you to enjoy. If you find something you particularly like, be sure stop by their blog to pin it so you will have quick access to it later.

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been going well so far.  Mine has been great. My DIL and grandkids came down from Vermont on Sunday morning and are leaving today. 
I had not seen them in 1 1/2 years with covid. Needless to say I hugged them all the time, even though they are teenagers. 

We went zip lining yesterday. What a thrill. It was on my bucket list and so much fun to do it with the grandkids. I am going to miss them so much

I hope the rest of your week is awesome.

We will still be here, just not hosting this party.

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been going well so far. I had somewhat of a sad day today - both of our dachshunds has to go in to have their teeth cleaned. 

They were not allowed to have any breakfast and poor Louie loves his food and just kept looking at me this morning and wondering why I wasn't feeding him. 

Once I put them in the car, they seemed to settle down until we pulled in the vet's place. Oh boy, they were so upset. Louie climbed in my lap and his mama tried to get in my lap too. It was 8:30 in the morning. I was not to pick them up until 4:20. 

There were so excited to see me. They have been sleeping a lot but it was so nice to have them back home.

You 're The Star - Creative Feature Week

Welcome to You 're The Star - Creative Feature Week

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was nice until Sunday about noon when  terrible storm went through and we lost power. Actually, I am sitting here in semi-darkness writing this post. It is 9:15 and still no power. They say about 10 o'clock. We were able to use the generator to run the fridge and one light. I hope it comes on soon, before my computer dies. 

I am glad you stopped by and hope that ou have a great week ahead.

Over The Moon Party

Welcome to Over The Moon Party

Happy  Sunday! We are having a gloomy grey day here in central Florida. Last night it started with a burst of wind that blew the garbage cans over, blew our chairs against the pool cage, branches came down and things were flying everywhere. We were shocked at the strength and how fast it came up. Then it calmed down some and just rained. 

Today, heavy rained and darkness. I can't complained since we have not had any rain for several weeks now. We needed it.

How is your weekend? I hope you are enjoying it.

Outdoor Checker Board Table

Libbie from A Life Unfolding created this amazing outdoor checker board table for us to see. Wow!

So, what do you do with all that leftover ham? Well, I can attest that this recipe is so delicious. My mom used to make ham salad the week after our Easter dinner and it was one of my favorites. This ham salad recipe from The Kitchen Is My Playground is a winner!

   

Gluten free carrot cake

My friend Marilyn from Marilyn's Treats makes the yummiest desserts. When I stopped by to see this baking work of art the Gluten Free Carrot Cake, my instant response was "I should have known it was made by Marilyn!" Her recipes are always the best.

Happy Thursday!  I hope your week has been great. Mine has been wonderful. The weather has been beautiful. The days are warm and the evenings are cool. What more can you ask for?

How is your weather? I know it has been quite warm up north. My Mom has been loving the warm temps in PA. 

I have been working in my gardens. The veggie are coming along nicely and strawberries are producing and so are the black raspberries. Soon we will be having blueberries too. 

I still have these two plants that came up from the compost pile. I am not sure what they are yet so I have not planted them until I see how much space they need. It is my surprise plants.

Many of my features come from you my commenters. Don't forget to leave your Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you could become one of my featured commenters next week.
