Wednesday Update
Not much to say. Yesterday the emails at work were grueling. Another long day. We had Zio Johno's for supper, it made up for the rest of the day. And I have great leftovers for lunch today!

Wednesday Update
Not much again today. We had some lovely storms yesterday. Luckily only a few sticks down in the yard. And a small branch on the garage. I love watching the blue glow of lightening from the living room window.
I think Chloe was a bit concerned for a while, she was getting some hail stones. No too large though. Thomas said they had pea sized hail in the early morning hours yesterday. Just enough to keep him awake.
Like I said, I don't have much else. We mostly watched weather reports last night. Oh and by the way, it's Prairieburg, not Prairiesburg. Newscasters who mispronounce town names should read a map.

Not much to blog today. Got up yesterday, went to work, came home, went to Walmart, came home, ate pizza for supper, watched Top Gear & HGTV and went to bed.

Monday Update
We had a nice quiet Easter here. Doug took some jello jigglers and chocolate chip scones to Holland and Mila in the afternoon. For supper we had ham, salad and rolls. With jello jigglers and chocolate chip scones for dessert. Chloe, Ross and the nice friend (sorry Zach) whom I always forget his name (I will update this later once Doug reminds me) came over for supper. They stayed for a little while to chat. The rest of the evening I dozed on the couch while watching Life and HGTV.

Sunday Update
We had a wonderful day with the kids yesterday. The only thing that would have made it better, would have been if Ashley could have been here as well.
Thomas came over around 11, he and I went shopping for tuxedo rentals for the wedding. We were surprisingly disappointed with the quality of service at Irwin's. Next we went to Skeffington's. They had excellent service, great choices and competitive prices. Next we went to Men's Wearhouse, it was super busy and had such a corporate feel. Plus the prices were quite high. I think Skeffington's is going to be the winner.
Thomas had lunch at our house and helped Doug get the battery out of Blue. Then he went back to Diedre's parents house to grade papers. Teachers, always working! After Thomas left, Doug and I went to Sears to purchase a battery for Blue. Doug is very happy that Blue is running again.
Chloe was the next to arrive, with her usual cheer (not the laundry soap) and laundry. I made Chocolate Chip Scones for her, she was very happy. She also tested the Easter Jigglers that I made. We had a nice chat while waiting for Thomas and Diedre to come over for supper.
Doug made the label, now I can market them.
The choice for supper was all over the place, imagine that! We started with Papa Murphy's pizza, or how about Metro Buffet (no too far away), Hamburger Mary's, Yen Ching or how about Jimmy John's and we eat outside somewhere. Eating outside got vetod to Chloe's displeasure. We finally decided on Genghis Grill which ended up being an excellent choice. Everyone got exactly what they wanted and I got to try Green Tea Ice Cream which is very good, although I wouldn't want it all the time.
After supper, we dropped Doug off at home and I went shopping with the kids at the mall. Chloe and I purchased shoes for the wedding and I got fitted at Victoria's Secret for an undergarment to lift "the girls". That however, will be a purchase made at Target or Walmart. We also stopped in at Hot Topic and Chloe purchased a sticker to put on her new pink Mini Netbook she will be recieving sometime this week and she bought a TMNT sticker for Thomas. He was excited.
We got home and Doug was out for a drive in Blue. Thomas and Diedre waited for him to arrive to say good-bye, as they plan to leave for home after they get back with Diedre's family from Easter at Green Valley. Ross came over after work to take Chloe to a movie, 'Clash of the Titans'. Doug made Ross a pizza to eat before the movie and he devoured it.
That was pretty much the end of the Day for me, I was tired and went to bed after Chloe and Ross left.

Saturday Update
Yesterday was a good day, even though I had to work. It did rain most of the day, but I was at work, so that was only bad for those who didn't work.
Thomas called to say he bought a new car, a 1999 Honda Passport. He came over and took Doug and I for a drive. It is in really nice shape. One owner, a "little old man" who kept it in his garage.
After Thomas left we had a late supper. Doug made me a delicious Ham & Cheese Omelet, and we watched "Who Do You Think You Are?". It was Brook Shields and she has quite a bit of royalty on her father's side of the family.
Chloe is planning to visit later today and I am getting ready to make more scones for her and Laura.
