Way to go everyone and all their hard work.

Still working slowly but steady on my report cards.

Enjoy your grandchildren, Diana. They are such a gift. Hope Gypsy gets better soon.

Hope your DD is better soon Bless. This is a sad time for you and illness doesn't help.

Tina and Bless, we are supposed to be making maple syrup and are all set up, but the weather is so strange that we haven't had a good run yet and don't have enough for a good boil-up!

I'm just recovering from the family visit, lol. It was lovely to have them here. DGD wasn't too well unfortunately, but she still had fun on the whole. Oh these childhood colds and coughs, it is too bad they catch everything.

Went to optician today. One lot of laundry tackled. Crocheted round a few squares while watching a movie.Too tired to do much, so will try to catch up tomorrow.

Bushlady: Homemade maple syrup! Yum! I am reminded of the Little House books/series!

Well, I'm glad I didn't plan on doing anything much this evening! Meeting was over by 8:30 p.m., I picked up DD and got home by 9:50 p.m., returned a couple of phone calls, visited cousin, and just came home (11:00 p.m.) :p

Bless that was one looooong day for you. Hope you went straight to bed shortly after you came home! Don;t know how you do it!
