March 20th First Day of Spring!

Monday: Spring is here - with the weather being a bit cool and windy. Later in the week we were back in the 80's. AA is off from school with no plans except to get back to a routine, rest and finish recovering from our vacation. Ford went to his exercises. I worked, trying to catch up from last week (on vacation and had migraine), made corned beef and cabbage, had it for dinner two nights, we love the potatoes, carrots, onions and cabbage meal. AA went to renew her passport - our appointment was at 2:00 p.m. and we were out of the post office at 2:08! Fast! Since she is "over age 16", her passport is good for ten years, not the five years for a minor. Hopefully she can go on her school AICE trip next year, travel to China and we all go to Ireland! We sent in our postcards to the Lost Kitchen, hoping for a reservation - we would need to fly up for the dinner (and I don't think kids can come so AA would need to stay at my Mom's house). Not sure how many seats we would request, and who to invite - too many choices!

Bought a new K-cup coffee machine - just like my Mom's old one except ours is quieter!

Tuesday: Back to school! Donna came and cleaned, I worked at the library, Ginger went to the groomers. 

Wednesday: I had my six-month dental cleaning. All good with Dr. Curt Standish. Ford and I ate leftover corned beef and veggies for lunch, and planned our meatless meal of bruschetta for dinner.

Thursday: Ford and I both woke up after sleeping the entire night. We are so happy, Ford has been having nightmares, hallucinations, sudden movements (all from Parkinson's) so we rarely sleep through the night. I convinced him to take half a dose of NyQuil to see if it had a calming, which it did! 

Billy came and pressure washed the house and dug out ten bushes in our front yard. Now ready for me to weed and mulch.

AA's MRI on her left knee. Ford cooked salmon for dinner and I sent three items for Rhonda Gibbs' request for Easter basket donations.

Friday: Ford and I got hair cuts/color; I needed it! Worked as usual, AA came home and started on her homework.

Saturday: Carolyn is camping with Alex, so we went to her house to feed the critters (including a new rabbit now!). 

AA and I went to the RAM market for some veggies, then to Moon River for lunch.

Moon River for lunch:

River House happy hour, I made deviled eggs. Hugh and Maureen brought grandson Tim and wife (from Brazil, an Architect).

Sunday: Kayak was postponed, too windy/stormy. AA's tutoring with Laurie was postponed until Monday evening. We watched Sanditon together, the show is in the final season and with only four episodes remaining, so many HEA's to achieve!
