Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! The sun has returned and it is glorious! So glorious, in fact, that I have requested that ds19 mow the lawn. There are some lessons and deadlines and tests due today and music lessons and choir tonight. Scouts is off due to spring break but dd15 is going to a special scout meeting to start the backpacking merit badge. Coffee!

I hate it, too. They always schedule me to play on this Sunday. Every year. Probably because they know I will show up, lol. The girls made it home in one piece. Dd15 set up her hammock in the dark and the rain tarp wasn't done correctly so all her stuff got wet. The second night they scrounged up some dry bedding for her and she slept in the backpacking tent with dd17 which also wasn't set up very well but it stayed dryer than the hammock. I'm going to make some rice pudding to bring to church fellowship tonight.

Lets do Vegas this year and Italy next year, k? 😂

I've never stayed in Vegas but toodled around a bit which was interesting. Bouchon Bakery has amazing croissants and excellent macarons. Then you can drive North/East. Stop at Zion National Park. Keep going east and stay for at least a night at the Lake Powell Resort and Marina. Try to get a "lake view" room at the hotel. It's amazing to sit on your balcony and see that view! Have a meal at Slackers in nearby Page, AZ and see if you can get in a tour of Antelope Canyon (which was closed when we went due to The Plague). There are outfitters who will take you on kayak trips through Antelope Canyon as well so you can see it from the lake side. Then stop by Horseshoe Bend on your way down to the Grand Canyon. Do the things there. I've never been but hope to some day. Then back around to Las Vegas. Let me know when to have my bags packed, lol!

Good morning! We’re in service #2. It was a very early morning getting to the church in time for pre-service rehearsal but we made it. Should be home in about an hour. Coffee!

We've decided that Tobey has at least 4 bladders which he holds in reserve to create a dramatic system of lakes in the kitchen and dining area when the mood strikes. Also, he has unfortunately discovered the thrill of eating puzzle pieces. In other news, my son-in-law made a delicious tomato pie for our dinner.

It is so. cold. out. Damp. drizzle. drip drip drip drip Please come back, Sunshine!

Good morning! I am finishing up my coffee but feel like I could use another cup. My goal for today is to search for a replacement lightbulb for the porch light and see what I can do about my slow-draining bathroom sink. Coffee!

Dd17's Eagle project has been approved by the council! In 3 days! We were expecting a 3-week wait - there are other projects she knows of that were submitted before hers and are still awaiting approval so she is super stoked. Also, I just got an email that dd15 passed the math readiness entrance exam for next year's chemistry class. Double yay!

Yay you did it! Now for chocolate.

The weather is gorgeous at The Soggy Dollar Bar.

That sounds amazing! I am happy to volunteer to go along in the role of Emotional Support Personnel as needed. 😂

Good morning! It's another drizzly day out. I expect there to be minimal lessons accomplished today because the girls have to pack for a weekend campout with the scout OA (it's like the honor society in boy scouts). Later this afternoon I will drive them and a fellow scout to the camp which is about an hour away. Coffee!

🎉🎈Happy Nirthday to DS20 of Krissi! 🎈🎉 It's a Nirthday Birthday Booyah! We are ITT a happy lucky posting family We are ITT Get up everybody and sing! Jean, 10/2020

It's called a "bunch-flowered daffodil". They're so pretty! I don't remember planting them. Probably they had a bunch of bulbs at Aldi last fall and I went bananas.

I found a webcam that lets you watch them make pizza in a restaurant in Belarus. https://www.geocam.ru/en/online/mogilev-webcam/ Just in case you didn't have enough to do today.

Good morning! I thought I had a plant identifier app on my phone but I can't find it. Could be buried somewhere in there. The girls have left for tutorial. Ds19 leaves for work in an hour and ds29 is working from home. I will miss orchestra tonight because ds has string quartet rehearsal and dd17 has a scout OA election to run. Coffee!

Dd15 is going to Philmont in 2025! Dd17 and I may also be going in 2025 with the Venture crew. 😊

DID NOT!! 😡

Does this look familiar to anyone?

So beautiful!

Good morning! It's another drizzly morning. At least it's not cold. It's gorgeous at the Soggy Dollar Bar. Sigh. I've been feeling a bit gassy this morning - probably the Tachos from last night, lol. Nobody looks gassy at the Soggy Dollar Bar. Ds29 left for work, the girls have gotten started on their lessons, and I am heading out the door for Aldi in a minute. Something out front is about to bloom. Can anyone remember what I planted there? It looks like a bulb. I guess I'll find out soon enough! Coffee!

You probably need to order more stuff from Etsy - like fabric that comes from Lithuania. Or maybe it was the puzzles from China. Someone is passing my phone number around like crazy.

That's awesome! Let me know when she goes to Philmont. 😊
