Cross post, Cowboy! Fabulous breakfast. You outdid yourself!

[abcowboy]

It's nice to see when couples equally share in all the household duties Slo, it makes for a much happier home.

Glad you're feeling better again Mulburry and can get out and enjoy the spring weather.

Enjoy the flea market Rava, hope you find some treasures to bring home with you.

You know what they say Jude, April showers bring May flowers!

I agree dill, this Lenton season has flow by. I think it will be just the 3 of us for Easter, but Amanda and Bruce are planning on coming over on Easter Saturday as well. So far I've stuck to my "no bedtime snacks" for Lent, and I just might continue that even once Lent is over.

There's a beautiful moon setting outside my window this morning and for a moment there's peace from the TV. Lol

Slo, my granddaughter and her family have no TV and their littles get zero screen time. Those two kids have fabulous imaginations. When I play with them, it takes me back to my childhood. It's great!

Yummy breakfast, ABC! Anyone want my bacon?

Waves to all! I'll take another

It looks so inviting and cozy there, Ginger! That’s interesting about the TV-free home and the effect on those little kids.

I am so tired, and grateful that the full moon is over now. Hate to be such a tired person here, but at least they need naps too since they’re up at night with the baby.

Mul, my daughter D2 was never sure if she had a sinus infection or bronchitis. I think the antibiotics helped her get over that illness. Now she’s on more antibiotics for the C-diff. She claims to be feeling better already, so I hope so.

D3 & her family live 5-6 hours away from me. I am enjoying time with Andy and baby Ayla at these young ages. Baby recognizes me now!

Cowboy, yes; this is such a cooperative home between D3 & her HB! I can tell they are good friends with each other too. I hope they don’t mind having me here.
Thanks for the pancakes! Son-IL made “man cakes” (Andy’s term) for breakfast yesterday.

Realizing I don’t have Easter plans. Oh well.

[Jude58]

Love the view Ginger; I could live in that room! It looks so cozy and inviting!

I can't believe that it's almost Easter. We don't have any plans, but we'll probably cook a nice ham for dinner.

Back to reality today with Dr.'s appointments and grocery shopping.

24 more please...

That is a cozy and inviting place, Ginger. I can just imagine sitting there with you, enjoying the Pink Moon. It was beautiful here as well, but didn't fall where I could view it without getting up and going to a window. Thanks for sharing that lovely pic.

Yes, Jude, you are back to real-ville! LOL But it's great, isn't it?

Slo, We don't have plans for Easter Sunday either, other than Church. Slo, I'm sure you will come up with a nice way to spend Easter. When do you head back home from D3's home?

Cowboy, well done on keeping your Lenten commitment! I myself made 2 and utterly failed at one of them. I intended to cut out or significantly cut back my chocolate intake, but I failed. On the other hand, I had committed to increased prayer time, and I did succeed there. Ther's a few more days left in Lent. Maybe I can make a strong finish on the chocolate.

Hello Rava and Mul.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, beautiful view. I love your beautiful cozy room! No wonder you wanted to get back. Thanks for the breakfast yesterday Cowboy. You always do a great job keeping us fed. Not sure I could give up bedtime snacks for Lent. Hope everyone has a good Monday. Going to the gym then out to lunch with some ladies from the gym. Wishing everyone a great and sober day. 24 more please!

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

We don't get to see all of our kids as often as we'd like either Slo, time and distance is a hinderance for all of us I'm sure. That's why we have to enjoy whatever time we get with them and chat in between visits.

You have such fantastic views from your windows Ginger, not sure I'd leave that room lol. We hardly use our TV as well, except for the odd movie and Bubba and her Hallmark channel lol. We do like watching the reality series "Farmer Wants A Wife" though.

I bet it's nice to be home Jude and getting back to the new daily routine.

I did give up chocolate once for Lent a few years back dill, but it won't be happening again lol.

Have fun with the ladies today Rava and enjoy the lunch.

I have to run to the city one day this week to pick up industrial bleach to shock chlorinate the well at the farm. I haven't done it for a few years and I could tell by the end of harvest last year that it needed doing. It won't be long now till I open up the camper for the year and I want the water ready to go.

[Ginger999]

ABC, I've not heard of shocking a well. Interesting.

No plans for Easter here either and I'm kind of hoping it stays that way. I'm beat!

Waves to all. I'll take another day

[Slo]

You all are right: it’s ok to not have plans for Easter. I was hoping my little sister & her family or my brother & his wife might invite the extended family over for an Easter gathering, but they didn’t. The girls & their husbands and children are going to ex-HB’s for Easter.

I drove today, and have just arrived home now! It doesn’t feel like home here, but technically it is. I stayed one extra day, so three full days and two travel days. Hopefully that still counts for three days before “houseguests & fish start to stink”!

I have gotten into the habit of having chocolate every day lately. It helps get me through the day.
D3 & her HB have a bedtime snack together every evening while they watch TV for awhile after the babies are in bed. They’re young yet though!

I never heard of shocking a well either, ABC. You know so much about how everything works! I admire that.

Jude, I enjoyed being away from daily reality and daily chores & errands as well.

Have a great AF luncheon today, Rava!

[Jude58]

Cowboy, Mr. J and I also enjoy watching The farmer wants a wife. I enjoy seeing the different farms that the men live on, but sometimes the drama between the women is a little much. Are you watching the Australian or the American show?

Slo, I'm sorry that your place doesn't feel like home. Have you ever thought of getting a dog or cat, it really can help with the loneliness. Just a thought.

Who wants to join me in another 24 hours of freedom?

[Rava]

Hello Cafe! Cowboy I watch Farmer wants a wife too. LOL. It’s just a fun and mindless show! I have heard of shocking your well. We had to shock ours a few times throughout the years. One time was when my husband accidently dropped his flashlight down the well. We were advised to shock it. Slo, have you ever considered moving closer to D3? Just wondering. I am off to volunteer job today. Hope everyone has a good and sober day. 24 more hours without obsessing about wine please and thank you!!!

[abcowboy]

5:20am in Alberta, 24 more for me please, and thanks...
