Happy Birthday Tommy!


Happy Birthday Tommy!
Hope your birthday is great!

Congratulations

Congratulations to Gail! She just completed her final chemo treatment! She was supposed to have four treatments but after talking to her oncologist yesterday, the Dr. decided she was doing so good that there would be no significant benefit for a fourth treatment!! Yipee! Gail gets a month off before she starts localized radiation treatments

Happy Birthday Annie!


Happy Birthday Annie! Hope you had a wonderful day!!

Getting Better

Well, the Nor'Easter is over we faired pretty good. Some accumulation of slush, some snow but it was mixed with alot of rain so we were very lucky unlike some people in different areas. Today, the sun was shining for awhile. Yup, that big beautiful yellow ball in the sky broke through the clouds and shined on us. AND, tomorrow......the weatherman has predicted more of the same! As a matter of fact for the next 5 or 6 days, the temps are supposed to steadily climb into the 50s, 60s and (gasp) 70's. Only in the Northeast can you go from 30 to 70 in just a couple of days! Well, this gal is ready for the weekend! Windows open, car cleaning, standing on my deck (I can smell a cookout already)!

Enjoy your weekend, I know I will!

Roses

Here's my father-in-law Bob with the new rose bush he planted. Looks nice!

Nor'Easter

Spring. Mid-April. Nor'easter. Winter storm warning in effect. Up to a foot of snow expected. Flowers starting to bloom which will all die.

So far, April hasn't been a good month. It's not unusual, however, to have a storm in April but in the very beginning of the month - not the middle. I guess the only thing we can hope for is that the temps warm up quickly afterwards to melt it all. Not too fast or we'll have flooding but warmer will be nice.

I'm miserable - can you tell? It's not just me, talk to any New Yorker or northener for that matter. We're tired of cold and certainly do not want any more snow. Our windows have been closed since last September.

We want pool covers off, flowers blooming, patio furniture on the decks. I want to wear shorts and flip flops. I want to mow the grass.

Guess I should go get some cheese, huh?
