Happy Easter!

Mom, Dennis and I had Easter dinner at our house today. Menu: ham, candied yams, broccoli and rolls with apple pie for dessert. (Burp)

Movie Tuesday

On Tuesday we saw Oz the Great and Powerful, the new Disney rendition of The Wizard of Oz based on the book by L. Frank Baum. This movie version has been updated for the times with lots of glitz and action in 3D at a matinee price of $36 for seniors. It was fun, but my favorite, of course, was the one I saw as a child starring Judy Garland and Toto. A lot was made of the 1939 movie, diced and sliced to determine the real message and symbolism (see http://wickedtour.net/symbolism-of-the-wizard-of-oz).

Visit from the Whites

Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day and we were blessed by a visit from my Godchild Laura, her husband Brent and Brent's Dad, Aunt and Uncle. It was great to see them and to meet some of Brent's relatives. We "dragged" them around on a tour of the ranch and force fed them green iced devil's food cupcakes that Dennis and I made that morning. We had planned on a light lunch/dinner of designer salad (lettuce and a bunch of stuff you choose to put in it), plus rolls, cheese and lunchmeat. However, they had eaten a big breakfast so only ate the cupcakes.

 Laura spread the icing on her teeth for a big St. Pat's smile.

This is a pretty good photo Brent took of us except for the short, fat girl on the right.

Garage

The stucco color went on yesterday. It's a light cocoa color.

Cha Shu Baos

Or as we call them...Bows. Anyway, Dennis and I made some pork bows on Sunday. My job was to fill and twist shut. Dennis did everything else. It was his idea, too.

New Pendants

I just added three new fused glass pendants to sandycreekdesigns.com .

Pizza

Making pizza

Dennis was going to take me out for lunch around 1 p.m. today, almost exactly when the snow started to come down. So, instead, I made pizza for us and for Mom, too. She wasn't feeling too good today because her back was hurting, so the pizza turned out to be a good idea.

50-50s haircut

50-50 was shedding so much we couldn't wait for summer to get her a lion cut hairstyle.  She's so cute.

Change in the weather

Now it's snowing. Know how I know? The satellite receiver filled up with snow and the TV stopped working.

Movie Tuesday

Looks like I forgot to enter this week's movie Tuesday report. We saw Silver Linings Playbook. (See my sister's blog.) http://2squirrels.blogspot.com.

It's Raining

Finally, the "big" storm the weather folks have been predicting for Wednesday arrived this morning sometime between 3:45 a.m., when I went back to bed, and 5:11 a.m when I got up to face the day. Of course, they said it would be snowing by now...Not!

Sandy Creek Designs Website

I just finished updating my www.sandycreekdesigns.com website and uploading it to the world wide web. Weeeeee....

Go see it and let me know what you think and if there are any problems. This has been a really big job. There are now 325 items online, although some of them have been "sold."

A lot of work...did I say that?
