Easter Season

Well, I got the word Saturday that I am not abstaining from the daily phone calls to Germany so I decided to give up 'PennyTalk' for Lent.  I also learned I cannot send Meg 'hybrid' tomatoe seeds cuz those are genetically engineered (or altered) so I am looking for 'heirloom' tomatoe seeds. Whatever happened to "Don't Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth!"

Ron and I went out to brunch yesterday (My Valentine!) at a place here called "Misty's"  We sat at the counter and both spoke about the last time we ever did that...My experience was with Aunt Marie (after a ride in her pink Cadillac) and Uncle Pooh-Pooh in the "60's at Bridgeman's in Duluth and he remembered Woolsworth's here in Rapids about the same time.  (Did Jupiter's in Duluth have a Soda Fountain?  This was the place where Aunt Marie got all her Christmas presents and always managed to leave the 99 cent price tags on...But I think she put them in Bagley boxes (Marshall Field's Boxes... thanx La!) more often than not.  Wow...was that a "Blast from the Past")

Back to the (breakfast) counter @ Misty's... we spoke of planned Lenten sacrifices and I blew him away! I won't write what mine are until after Easter becuz 'It' will be interesting to see if 'we' can keep our promises without boring you all. . .(just in case anyone ever reads these ramblings.)

More Snow today but just a "trace".  I think I hate the word "trace."  Three inches is a 'trace tough' for Yo-Yo... four inch inch legs:

And impossible if Flying Squirrels

 didn't fly!

Well this is it from "Yours truly tonight."  It is on to pick up the man cuz I drove today, mail a care package to Germany cuz I can't be expected to go "Cold Turkey" from all communication with my girls.

Here is to FAT TUESDAY TOMORROW! 

Eat, Drink and Be Merry cuz Wednesday is Ashes

TSCHUS!
