Happy Easter!

 This week marked ten years since my best friend died, so I was kind of out of sorts the early part of the week. It doesn't seem possible that ten years has gone by! I was thinking about how she was on life support the last few days of her life. When there ceased to be any brain activity, her family decided to take her off life support. I wondered where they get the strength to do that? It is amazing to me because I couldn't even take my cat to the vet to be put to sleep! I started thinking about how I really need to go visit her parents. I know her mom is having some health issues and I really don't want to put off seeing her. I've learned with husband's grandmother's death that someone can be gone just like that!

 How can this Sunday be Easter? I like it better when we have a late Easter. Next week is spring break for the teens. I might head up to the lake house with teen daughter mid-week, but other than that, no plans! I probably should have planned a big adventure since this will be the last spring break that teen son is here, but that didn't occur to me until I just wrote it!

When I was in W@l-M@art this week look what I found:

I thought these were the cutest wire baskets. They were only a little over $2. I don't know what I will use them for, but for now I just threw in some candles and voila... centerpieces for the breakfast table!

 

It's official, no easter egg dying this year! We've had dyed eggs for the last 18 Easters, but since I had to beg teen daughter to do them last year I decided I wouldn't even buy stuff to do them this year. That makes me a little sad.

 

When husband's grandmother died in January she left a house full of furniture. There is going to be an estate sale next weekend but I had made it known, to husband's aunt, who is executor of the estate,  that I would like to buy her bedroom furniture. I never heard anything from her so I just decided it wasn't meant to be. It is solid wood and very well made. Since we thought we were going to downsize and took our guest bed to the new little mountain house we really could use some new furniture. I really didn't want to spend thousands on some new stuff. Well imagine my surprise when I got an email this past weekend from the company handling the sale telling me that aunt had given them my contact info and that they were giving me first right of refusal on the furniture! So, after talking it over with husband we decided that we couldn't pass it up, so we go to pick it up next week. Now I need to decide what bedding I want to get for it!

 I wish everyone a Happy Easter! May you find the prize egg! :)
