Day 74, Thursday, March 14, 2024

 

And sometimes I don't even have to shake my head.. just blinking does it for me!

Day 73, Wednesday, March 13, 2024

 

Somedays are like this... only adding family and friends!

Day 72, Tuesday, March 12, 2024

 

The weather has been so warm!  The flowers are bursting out of the ground at an amazing speed!  Spring wants to arrive, but Central Illinois is so unpredictable temperature wise!

Day 71, Monday, March 11, 2024

 

Another beautiful day for a walk outside.  This is the top of that really old tree at Coal Miner's park.  Coco walked with us again, too!

Day 70, Sunday, March 10, 2024

 

I had to work fast today to get all the auction items ready for Picker's and Timeless Treasure Market!

Day 69, Saturday, March 9, 2024

 

Here is our group from the weekend.  We are sitting on the steps to the stage at The Barn III.  There were some other photos, but they were silly ones, of course!  We were all spoiled like royalty during the Crafting Queen Retreat!

Day 68, Friday, March 8, 2024

 

This is truly the best scrapbook retreat I have ever participated in.  We had a group of 7 girls at our table.  There were about 50 crafters during the 3 days!  I already registered for next year!

Day 67, Thursday, March 7, 2024

 

This was the sale at the Barn III during the craft retreat.  Crafting Auntie (Lisa) needs to downsize her supplies.  Our group has volunteered to help her.  This will be an amazing weekend with our friends.

Day 66, Wednesday, March 6, 2024

 

I think this picture is from a couple of years ago.  Jim's mom and his sister, Jill.  Gram would have been 97 today.  We all went to eat lunch at Whiskey Taco after we finished removing her belongings from Cedarhurst. 

Day 65, Tuesday, March 5, 2024

 

I was chosen as the February shopping perk winner at Scrapbook Generation.  I won the random prize drawing for shopping at their on line store.

Day 64, Monday, March 4, 2024

 

We said goodbye to Jim's Mom, this morning.  She passed away around 9:30 a.m.  We had several nurses that would qualify for this Daisy award in the past few days.  She will be greatly missing at just shy of 97 years young.

Day 63, Sunday, March 3, 2024

 

Stacie has been on Coco duty.  We have been at the hospital with Jim's Mom.  She fell on Friday and broke her femur.  She has been placed on "Comfort Care" for now.

Day 62, Saturday, March 2, 2024

 

The weather has been so warm the past few days.  Our tulips are pushing up their green leaves.  I hope this means an early Spring.  We have had snow in April when the blooms are huge!

Day 61, Friday, March 1, 2024

 

Lily went to the eye doctor for her Kindergarten exam.  She was disappointed she didn't get glasses!

Day 60, Thursday, February 29, 2024

 

Today is Leap Day.  February has 29 days this year!

Day 59, Wednesday, February 28, 2024

 

I started doing the leg press after I got my right knee replaced in April of 2022.  I still do this exercise and my strength in my legs has increased so much.  I am amazed at how straight my leg is now. 

Day 58, Tuesday, February 27, 2024

 

Lobster Ravioli is what's for dinner!  We celebrated Stacie's birthday tonight.  She was busy during the week of her birthday with work stuff.  Jim, Tom, Stacie and I went to Joe's Italian Steakhouse in Peoria Heights!  YUMMY!

Day 57, Monday, February 26, 2024

 

Jim, Coco and I went for a walk at Coal Miner's Park.  Coco had the best time sniffing all the "things"!  He walked along with us the entire way.  What a good boy!  We really enjoyed walking outside today!
