It’s great that you have these lovely friends. So sorry about the stomach bug. Those are no fun at all. Glad to know folks are getting over it. Tomorrow I’m going down to my brother’s home for the Easter weekend. He’s down in Ft Myers, FL.

NY, Thomas. This time of year, we're teased by the weather. A couple of days of incoming spring - and then a few more of winter saying adieu! 🤣🤣

A nice surprise from Matt and Beau. (Beau posted the recipe, so I'll have to give that a try, too!) It's always nice to hear of shared events with special friends.🥳 We're looking forward to doing that this Saturday! 🎉 👍

Keep: Enjoyed a nice supper out with a new acquaintance last night. I love meeting new people and enjoy getting to share fresh perspectives through good conversations. 😊 🌈 🍸

Delete: More cold weather, with the bonus of flurries in mid-April. Joy, eh?!😉

Enjoy your evening and continue to feel better - hopefully it'll bypass the other two for the most part.🤞🤞

That is Great, you have the best two Friends there!! So glad y’all are getting over the Bug, seems like every other week one of y’all are getting something. Hopefully the other 2 stay well.

My Keep is that I ordered a Troy Bilt tb30b riding Lawnmower today, I had to, just couldn’t push mow any more.

My delete is that the one o wanted and was on sale was out of stock by the time I got to it. :(

Y’all take Care and STOP getting Sick!!

Keep: spending the past several days at home with my babies.

Delete: the reason I’m home - bereavement leave. My amazing, beautiful sister passed and we are struggling. Rhys is having nightmares and I just don’t know how to help him. 😔

I did get to spend the last few days with her before she passed. She knew how loved she was/still is.

Sarah, I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your sister. My sister is my closest friend, and I honestly don't know what I would do without her. I can't imagine the loss you must be feeling right now. Sending lots of love and healing thoughts to you and your family! ❤️

Yay! Another birthday party with friends! Happy (belated) birthday, Thomas!

So sorry to hear that the stomach bug hit your family. Hopefully everyone is feeling better now. That is never any fun, but it could be so much worse! Imagine traveling overseas with 100 students/parents in a country where you don't speak the language and on the night before you are scheduled to fly back to the States, 3/4 of the group falls ill to a stomach bug! We had to extend hotel stays and reschedule flights, only to have the "healthy" kids bring the bug back home to their families. (This happened during my son's band trip to Paris last year. Not exactly the memories you want to bring back home from such a trip!)

I hope your family will be staying healthy for a while now! 💕
