I don't mean to brag BUT

 From this to this!!!

anyone want to come for dinner--oh I forgot we can't do that

 From this to this!!!

the den it actually is fun to walk into now AND I promise I did NOT just stuff things in a drawer

This is the box that has gone from north to south back to north etc.  ALL the time mostly full but now look--- empty!

AND we still have this

the West St. Paul Adkins

the South Bend Lees

the Madison Lees

the St. Paul Travis!

the was by my garage door--that easter bunny was one busy rabbit

AND I still have this

AND I still have this

Now I hope nobody can say that I have been slacking off!  I do realize that perhaps all of my siblings can and should say, "My house has never been as messy as some of those pictures!  AND I would believe that but they need to understand that I am somewhat challenged in the area of keeping things in order and I admit it is ALL my fault.  I, in no way, blame my upbringing just me, that is the issue.

I looked at my phone about 5 yesterday and saw there was a message that the easter bunny had left a treat for me by the garage door.  My goodness that easter bunny sure has changed it's ways!

I had the honor of having a ZOOM with the family yesterday.  It certainly is a unique way to celebrate Easter but it was great.  For about 35 minutes we had conversation and it was wonderful.  I am posting pictures that I took of my computer screen.  I should have let you know ahead of time that the picture of Travis may scare you so maybe it should be PG 14!

It made my day, my week and my month to see everyone.  It seems that everyone is doing fine and for that I am so so thankful.  I am so proud of each and everyone of my family and thank God every day as I do not deserve such a wonderful family.  It just seems that one could go through eveyone one by one and they are talented, healthy and just wonderful.  Of course it takes Travis to put a bit of levity in the entire story!  It certainly made my day.

In many ways it was so difficult to be away from Terry and knowing that any hospital is not the place to be on a holiday and for that matter on any day.  I am hoping to get some answers today and it appears very possible that they will want to send Terry home.  I feel I am up to the task BUT welcoming someone home who has NO strength I will need some profession help AND I think the hospital will arrange that.  I can think of nothing more important to do than to try your best to take care of the one you love.  IF things come to the point of Terry coming home today I do need to get a wheel chair and some other things. We will see.

It looks like another warm day in Naples.  I think it was 90+ Easter Sunday and perhaps another 90 today.  It is 81 at this point and the AC is already going.

I read in the paper about people who go south for the winter (I refuse to call us/them snow birds) and I am sure Judi/John are reading as well.  From the south FL coast they say we should not think about going north for a while.  It may be different in AZ.  

I went to the hospital yesterday with some things and oh my goodness travel in Naples is wonderful!  I thought maybe I was getting a look at what it is like here in the summer.  Then I thought to myself "I really do not want to find out if that is true"!

I could have an interesting day ahead of me.  I am expecting the hospital to call this AM and say they are releasing Terry to come home.  I really do not know how I will handle that as she wants to come home and I want her home but I just am not certain it is the best.  I guess I will have to fall back to common sense, prayer and believe in my instincts when the call comes in.  I will try my best to keep my words in check as I have been less than happy with some of what has gone on.  

I stepped on the scale this morning and it showed cream potatoes all over the place.  I will have to do something about that after the last of the cream potatoes is gone!!!
Enough for this morning.  I do admit I had cream potatoes and a ham bun for breakfast and it went very well with the FP.  I have some Kona coffee left but this morning instead I had Starbucks which goes down fine but not as smooth.  
No it is back to the kitchen where I have a few dishes to wash and then I will read the WSJ while I wait for the hospital call.  

I end with this.  It reminded me of when Grandma Lee made oatmeal for me one time I stayed over night from a basketball game.  I did not like oatmeal but when she asked me if I liked it I had to say yes!  She promptly dumped another huge spoon of oatmeal in my bowl.  I realized that I should have said "it was really good but I am just full!"  Is it OK to tell a little white lie if it makes Grandma happy?
