It turned out to be a bit cooler than predicted but not too bad. I called the Princess to wish her and her family a Happy Easter and discovered they had NOT gone camping this weekend. They hope to go next weekend instead. I didn't ask but I suspect that they were not the only ones to have the same idea and the place they hoped to go was booked. It seems that happens every Holiday weekend once the weather starts to turn warmer.
I called my sisters and Tara to wish them all a Happy Easter and ended up being invited to dinner. Tara had thought I would be spending it with the Princess and was surprised I wasn't. Actually, I don't think the Princess was planning on a big dinner or else they had been invited elsewhere. I didn't ask. I really didn't care if I wasn't invited anywhere. It meant I didn't have to get out of my pajamas...LOL. But I bit the bullet and Tara came over to pick me up.
Dinner was delicious. Mia had made the sweet potato casserole and, although it was different from mine, it was really tasty. Turns out she had put ground cloves in it, which is a spice I had never even considered. I will the next time I make mine, however. Cee made a delicious jello fruit salad with lots of fruits and nuts in it. Yum! Tara made a ham and green bean casserole plus some croissants for the bread. Gotta have bread or biscuits with our meal. We were joined by my great-nephew Keith and his girlfriend. Little Chance was spending part of the day with his father so he was absent until later.
After dinner, we sat outside in Tara's back yard, talking the whole time and just enjoying the weather. Later, Cee cut a piece of her apple dump cake (which smelled wonderful, btw) for the Beast and we took the plate that Tara had prepared to take home to the Beast and Cee drove me home. It was the first time she used the Garmin GPS that we had given her on her birthday but she did well with it. She brought it in to make sure the Beast had Tara's house on it for her so she could find her way back. They chatted for a while and then Cee headed home to Tara's. She is looking forward to having her own place since it's been years since she has actually had any real *alone* time. She is even thinking about trying to find a part time job to occupy her time a bit and earn a little extra spending money.
While she was here, she even got to see a couple of the birds that visit our bird feeders. This summer when she comes over (and the hummingbirds feed more often due to having babies), we will sit on the deck and watch them. They are more used to us being outside and less fearful of approaching. Brave little birds. They used to fly in front of our faces and stare at us...LOL!
Sheepie called just before Tara got here to pick me up for our early dinner and she was hoping to come by for a visit. She told me to call her when I got home so she could come over for a bit. I called her as they were leaving for Teach's family's house so she will be stopping by later. I miss her visits because she is always so full of news and different things to say about herself and what is going on in her life. You always know what's on her mind and it is very refreshing.
After the Beast had eaten, he relaxed in his recliner and took a bit of a nap. He's soaking in the tub, trying to get over his fall yesterday and the few bruises he got from THAT. He's been falling a lot more often lately and I think it's due to the problems with his eyes. He sees the eye doctor on the 9th to get part of the cleaning of his lenses done and I hope that helps him more. He's having a lot of trouble seeing out of his right eye and that is the one that will be taken care of then.
Well, I want to get this posted early since I will be heading for bed early tonight. I have been up since 8:30am and I haven't taken a nap. Since it's almost 7pm I don't think I will be nodding off until later so I can keep on a better schedule of sleep/wake.
Love you all. Hope you had a good day, too. Be happy and live a full life. Don't forget to tell those you love that you do. A simple *love you* either when you leave (or they do) or before you hang up the phone works wonders. Life is short. ***Hugs***
